Cronk. Orford etc

Unless Orford owes Kearney a huge favor I doubt that he's a "smoke screen" covering the signing of Cronk. I don't doubt that the Kearney will have a crack at signing Cronk in the future but I think we should all resign ourselves to having Orford around for the next 2 seasons. In any event Orford would be a good mentor for Morts.

  • Seriously, i still can't believe Parra signed Kearney. If he fails Parra will really look stupid!
  • F Off Slip Kearnery is already making more progress now that Ando is out of the way and you will be eating your words at his success.

    Get over Ando mate seriously.
  • Sorry, not relating to this blog but just have to say that I love your profile pic Andy.. brings back memories already!! Viva España!!
  • Kearney is spoken of very highly amongst those in the know. I was disappointed we lost Ando because I believe he has the runs on the board but if we aren't to have Ando as our coach, I'm happy Kearney was appointed.

    Let's give him a chance before we condemn him to failure!
  • Kearney has made more progress in what since Ando has left??

    the most he has done is pull on a polo shirt and answer some media questions!!

    at the end of the day i hope Kearney works out as it means Parra will be at the top again - where they should be!!

    everyone is over the fact that Ando is gone - what people aren't over is the way the club handled the situation thats all!!!
  • Who cares Eelation boo hoo you don't know the ins and out's of the political side and neither do 95% of the people on this forum so you don't know what goes down you just believe what you read in the paper and whats on the tv.

    If Kearney pulls off JT & Blair would you say he has been successful? Even if he pulls Orford as Plan B and something else that's success plus even with our squad from last year and no additions i bet he gets the team firing again anyway because 90% of the players couldnt stand Ando and didnt rate him.

    Kearney is the man, watch.
  • Kearney is making more progress? Well Ando went to a Grand Final so I guess we have won the 2011 premiership based on your jibberish.
    • Slip, yes they did make the GF but it wasn't because of Ando it was Hayne's explosion and everybody else palying off the back of that.

      If you are happy for Ando to take the accolades for making the GF you also need to swallow that he come 12th being premiership favourites...................YEAH GREAT COACH AY.
      • I have no problem with Ando being punted, but I'm concerned about a rookie coach being signed.
      • Adam - you are back into that d#$@head argument that DA as coach had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH OUR RUN TO THE 09 GF.

        BUT
        was responsible for us running #12 in 10.

        That's BS mate.
        He was the coach in 2009 and 2010 so he WAS equally responsible for our wins as well as our losses regardless of who (or how) various team members performed.
        HE WAS THE COACH - end of BS please.
