Warriors coach Stephen Kearney has been moved on by the club with two years remaining on his contract after Friday’s heavy loss to the Rabbitohs.

NRL.com understands that Warriors players and staff were told of Kearney’s dismissal while in camp in Terrigal on Saturday afternoon.

The club is yet to make any official announcement on Kearney’s future.

Toddy Payten taking over as interim

Just hope they have not signed Madge

stitch up for kearney…in a time that stability for that squad is desperately needed losing him would be the worst for the playing group…

All that white anting has paid off !

You I think it is pretty low …the Warriors weren’t great but there are a helluva lot of extenuating circumstances with their whole situation and injuries

If you were the white ant…you wouldn’t want to take over right now either…Warriors will be a shambles more than usual for the rest of the year and I feel bad for all of them

Dog act. No fan of Kearney as coach but poor form at a time like this. Amazing he loses his job but McGregor and Seibold are still safe.

And Green and Morris and possibly Madge if we lose today

I doubt madge is concerned for his job…

Can you take up employment insurance when you become a first grade coach?

It’s a pretty low act considering the circumstances this season.
Isn’t Nathan Brown an assistant (saw him in the coaches box during the trial). He has form in turning clubs around

Speared him like he was Jarrod McCracken.

The Warriors need a no nonsense uncompromising coach Geoff Toovey is the man…but then again the Warriors players seem to have to be handled with kid gloves … This is the problem maybe !
