Kearney at Broncos?

The Warriors are buoyed by reports linking Stephen Kearney with a job at the Brisbane Broncos, saying there would be no better result for their former head coach. Barely a week after being abruptly sacked by Warriors management, Kearney has reportedly been looked at for an assistant coaching role at the Broncos, along with Kevin Walters. Signing such a contract would feel like deja vu for Kearney, who failed to see out the season as Parramatta head coach in 2012 and signed as an assistant at Brisbane soon afterwards, a role he began the following year. Warriors half Chanel Harris-Tavita hoped his former coach lands on his feet in Brisbane. The city has been the home of Kearney’s wife and two daughters for the three and a half seasons he coached the Warriors and the 48-year-old was quick to return there last weekend after his contract was torn up. ‘‘I was pretty confident that he’d get a job with the amount of experience that he has. With him being based in Brisbane, if he does get that job, I wish him all the best,’’ Harris-Tavita said.
