The Curse of Kimmorley

Posted by SuperEel 22 on October 18, 2011 at 3:54pm
Now I'm not a really superstitious person but some things seem to be more than coincidence. I know many people wanted Kimmorley to either play for us and help Morts or as a halves coach. However, his record with each club he is employed at isn't great. He played for Newcastle, Hunter Mariners, The Cheats, Dogs, Sharks and Northern Eagles. All but 1 club has had a problem. The Eagles and Mariners are gone, Sharks are almost gone, the Dogs haven't performed well for a long time and had the salary cap issue and obviously the Cheats breached the Salary Cap. Kimmorley is coaching at the Digs and their halves haven't got any better. Glad we didn't get Kimmorley or we'd be next.

      Pretty much, except Newcastle. They had Matty Johns and Andrew Johns who won the premiership in 97 and 01. Kimmorley wasn't sorely missed in Newcastle.

    They were doomed before he arrived. Honestly, any station that has Simon Woolford commentating is in trouble. their supposed "experts" are NSW selector Laurie Daley and Brett Kimmorley. Nine has Wally Lewis, Sterlo and Joey, 2 of the best halfbacks of their era and The King.

    My opinion is that Kimmorley had an outstanding 1999 season and that's about it. lol
