This site is a daily frenzy of who has signed or is expected to sign, and everytime we come up with that empty feeling. Stephen KEARNEY is a talented coach who has learnt from a very astute football coach in Bellamy and mentored by the very best there is in Wayne Bennett. He has already indicated that he will be preoccupied with the Four nations for some time.
The Parramatta squad resumes training for 2011 on 1 November, 2010. We need to be patient with this whole thing. Even though we lost Mateo, INU, Keating, Wright - I am confident that we can show a very big improvement in 2011. We get our structure and shape in attack right, we introduce options other than going straight to hayne and we blend a few talented kids and I know we will be hard to beat. Our defence will be stronger with the focus towards wrestling and similar techniques deployed by all NRL clubs.
The melb system works and Kearney will try and replicate it here I am sure. I remember when Cooper CRONK first started playing NRL for melbourne - he was a ' nobody ' and he is now an elite NRl player. Our talented kids HUMBLE, SIO, LOKO, MURRAY and co will be taught from some of the most talented young coaches in the game.
Point I am making is this to be successful in the NRL we need to ensure we have the following in place :
- STRUCTURE ( need it big time )
- STRONG FRONT OFFICE ( major issues as we know )
- STRONG DISCIPLINE & ATTITUDE ( comes with the new coach and his team )
- WINNING CULTURE ( starts in Round 1 and builds )
- ONE CLUB, ONE GOAL ( we contribute to that I think )
Bring on March........

havent missed it ( half back ) just decided to be positive and allow him time to work with what he has got. All the variables of JT, ORFORD, CRONK etc dont help things but I do have faith in his ability to squeeze the orange and make the juice from it.
I look back on 2010 as the year we couldnt attack, couldnt sustain pressure, couldnt build pressure. Our lack of structure and shape in attack is a direct result of the quality of our halves but I think the fact we didnt bend them back enough in the forwards contributed just as much IMO.....
Cheers
Without the front office working you will not have the back office (players & coaches) working to 100%
I hope they can do it because we have the talent to be a top 4 side and maybe the winners.
