The Mount Smart club appeared to have a number of close calls from the match referees go against them, including a potentially match-winning final pass from captain Roger Tuivasa-Sheck late in the match being called forward.
They were also awarded just two penalties.
A frustrated Kearney says his dismay comes from a number of previous decisions, such as wing Gerard Beale being stripped with three men in the tackle, leading into the call against Tuivasa-Sheck.
He says he thought the pass to Tuivasa-Sheck was a line ball and the strip situation with wing Gerard Beale shouldn't be an active rule if they can't make an accurate ruling.
Manly's pipped Melbourne 11-10 in golden point, while the Broncos have thumped the Titans 34-12.
