Has just been confirmed. Will stay on for at least the next three years in a coaching and development role. Real shame, reckon he had at least one more good year to offer especially given there is no immediate player pushing up to grab his spot.

A shame really. Kearnsy has been great this year. Everyone needs to get out there this weekend and farewell one of the remaining originals. Hopefully this inspires the boys onto a real big finals run and get him that title!!

Sad to see Kearnsy retire as a player, but I'm sure he'll be good for the Storm in his new coaching/ambassadorial capacity.

This is indeed a sad sad day! :cry: :cry: Another great guy is leaving the Storm as a player, he has always had time for a chat no matter what the result has been and time for any supporter!

I am so glad that we are not losing him altogether, the young ones will benefit from his experience and support in the upcoming seasons.

Cheers
Bunnies & Stormboy :D :D

Its great news for the club that Robbo & Kearns will hang around the club & with Kearney likely to return also the club's off field setup looks good.

Aaawww I thought (and was hoping) Robbie would go round one more year :cry:

He has been an absolute champion and I hope the boys give him a fitting farewell at our last home game on Saturday and go all the way from there! :D

a GF would be nice. Didn't I say last month or June that I thought Robbie was retiring this year.
