Hopefully a job opens up elsewhere before Bennett quits.

2 soft tries and now Manly could take a lead. Lol at the Dogs.

Bennett hasn't even officially started and we already know his successor apparently... Amazing

Well, his contract's only 3 years, so his successor will likely come from his assistants next year. Nobody really knows though.

Now we just need to sign Gilly as defensive coach and we've got a good staff for next season, I'm not sure what Kearney did this season, but he needs to do it better next season.
Maybe we'll just keep him around as a lure for good NZ talent.

Maybe Bennett rates Kearney from their time working with the New Zealand team. Not completely sold on Walters yet.

In that case I'll take Walters ... I don't want Kearney as our head coach.

I guess the plan is when in doubt, stick with what you know and what has worked in the past, including your people.
Worked well for the Maroons and Mal Meninga.

Kearney seems a career assistant coach IMO. I'm unsure what he did in Melbourne, but he and Belamy had that team running pretty well.....then you look at what he did with Parra. He's not a head coach but I think he can offer something as an assistant with Benny and Walters.

Would bulking up Barba been hook or Corvo's decision ?

How can you be so down on Kearney based on performance but want Gilly- Titans have been terrible in defence for years?
I've got nothing against Gilly- just wondering.

Bennett's performance/video analyst.
Was at Brisbane from 2001 then went to Dragons and Knights with Bennett. Also has been with Queensland and Australian teams.

Would have been Hook's decision but Corvo's method.
I reckon Hook saw the state of Barba's ankle, knew he wasn't going to be fast or confident enough to play his natural game so shifted him into that quasi five back role and the rest is history.
Hopefully it's all behind Ben now and he can get a proper off-season under his belt. Seemed like a lot of our players were dealing with injuries to their lower extremities - I recall a few times Hoffman couldn't hit the after-burners and was slower than normal.

So you confirm that Kearney was running defensive drills and strategies?
As we seem to be pretty weak defensively this year and last, I wouldn't mind hearing your take on Kearney.
