In 2007, with a positional change to fullback, Kearney was a regular in the first grade side until he suffered injury during the season. At fullback, "BK" has made inroads in attack scoring several tries. He scored a superb hat trick in the 2007 game against St. George Illawarra Dragons showing his ability in attack. In 2008 Brett Kearney was selected to play in the annual City vs Country match.
