Stephen Kearney

Posted by Johnny B Good on November 14, 2015 at 10:50pm

Watching replays of the NZ v England tests on fox and note that Peta Hiku is wearing 6 and Lolohea is wearing 7. It shows too, they really lacked direction in the first game. Kearney is coaching the No. 1 ranked rugby league team in the world and tosses that shit up. Where is Marshall? Love him or hate him, he played well enough in 2015 to warrant selection over those two, both of whom don't play in the halves regularly in the NRL.

How does Kearney muster the cherries to make a call like that? He knows how to shit in his own coaching nest. Hope England role NZ tonight.

There has to be an agenda against Marshall if he isn't getting a start. The whole situation reeks of tarnished relationships and its easy to see if two outside backs are getting a start ahead of him.

  Agreed. But one must draw the line somewhere...that's just insulting to the integrity of the game, especially when we are trying to grow the NRL's international profile.

I know. I actually don't mind him as a personality. He handled his departure from Parra as gracefully as he could, given his disgraceful track record. But as a coach, he is bog. Cannot get over Marshall's omission. Who does he think he is...

SK is a dud.

  So is Marshall.
  I believe Benji suffers from a mild case of Farah mouth.

I'm not a fan of Kearney in the slightest but we do need to acknowledge that Johnson and foran were out. That's a massive hole in your side. Australia has the troops to cover but not necessarily New Zealand. I agree with your thoughts about Marshall but aside from that who would people choose. As their halves????

Doesn't Marshall have a knee injury, courtesy of Greg Eastwood?

Keep your eyes on Jermaine Mcgilvary for England, the guy is a tank with awesome strength.

Kearney hasn't chosen Hargreaves the last few years either even tho he has been the best prop in the game for a couple seasons now
