Warriors coach Stephen Kearney has been let go with two years remaining on his contract and assistant coach Todd Payten will take charge of the club in an interim capacity.

Kearney was informed of the decision by CEO Cameron George over the phone yesterday morning while the players and staff were told by Kearney himself while in camp yesterday afternoon.

The Warriors suffered a resounding 40-12 loss to the Rabbitohs on Friday night, continuing a difficult run for the side after relocating to the Central Coast amid the COVID-19 pandemic that prevented them from playing in New Zealand.

In last night’s results, the Dragons defeated the Titans 20-8, the Wests Tigers beat the Cowboys 36-20 while the Roosters defeated the Eels 24-10.

The Raiders will take on Sea Eagles at 6.05 tonight while the Bulldogs will face the Sharks at 8.30 tonight.
