Was Kearney Ever Respected?

I was discussing with my dad last night (who is also a massive Parra fan) who should take over from Kearney. We got onto the topic of whether Kearney ever had the respect of the senior players. My main thought was that did they really accept him given he was part of the coaching staff during the Storm's salary cap rorts. Did players like Hindy and Burt really accept him, or was it a facade for the media? His team's cheating cost those guys a premiership. It still eats away at those guys.

  • I admit I granted him a little respect as a fan. I put some faith in him and gave him a chance.

    He has destoryed that respect after so long at the club now with his inablity to evolve his game plan and inspire his troops.

  • "It still eats away at those guys" - you know this how???

    • Cayless has a session before each game called "Before the Game." In closing after the last session he said "I'll see you guys before we play the Cheats, oooppss I mean the Storm." If it didn't bother him he wouldn't have said it.

    • Harry I don't think super eel is saying that he knows this as a
      fact- he is putting it foward as a point of discussion for possible reasons for our current position
    • I know this because they are humans.

  • Its simply gotta stay with them to some degree that for sure, I dont forget it as a fan and Im sure as hell they dont forget something like that as players.

    To point the finger at storm players and coaching staf however is another question tho. I'm pretty sure Hindy, Burt etc realise by now that SK has not got the brains to have been involved in any of that cheating cap business.

    • Cam smith signed 2 contracts didn't he? As well as his fox sports contract which wasn't included
      Inglis had a speed boat in his garage as a present and forgot to mention it
      Players ain't stupid but they can pretend to be
      Bellamy would certainly have input into who they have in the squad and how much they should be paid etc
  • Thats true very interesting i would think that way also. So if he is a cheat why did the board sign him there was there first mistake.
  • When a coach comes in with an apparent 3 to 5 year plan and the first few years are rebuilding I would say some sneior players who have been starved of premiership glory would be a bit lacklustre with the direction.
    The only people that would know are the players and the coach, everything else is heresay.
    • Why did they sign knowing he was a cheat this type of things are always swept under the carpet. We were over the cap this year interesting
