His 1981 and 1982 seasons were again interrupted by injury. In the 1981 season Gearin scored a Hat-Trick three Tries against the <a href="/wiki/Balmain_Tigers" title="Balmain Tigers">Balmain Tigers</a> at <a href="/wiki/Leichhardt_Oval" title="Leichhardt Oval">Leichhardt Oval</a>. </p><p><b>St. George Dragons</b> </p><p>In 1983 Gearin joined the <a href="/wiki/St._George_Dragons" title="St. George Dragons">St. George Dragons</a>. In the 1983 Qualifying Final he kicked the two winning goals for the Saints to beat the Balmain Tigers 17–14. In the 1983 Semi Final he played in the Dragons' 26–24 loss to Canterbury-Bankstown. In 1984 he again was the New South Wales Rugby League's top point scorer. His last game for St. George was in the 1984 Preliminary Final against the Parramatta Eels where they lost 8–7. At the end of his two-year stint at the Dragons, his stat ended up playing 47 games, scoring 15 tries and booting 161 goals for 382 points.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><b>Later career</b> </p><p>Gearin returned to Canterbury in 1985. In the <a href="/wiki/1985_NSWRL_season" title="1985 NSWRL season">1985 NSWRL season</a> he scored one try against the <a href="/wiki/Manly-Warringah_Sea_Eagles" class="mw-redirect" title="Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles">Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles</a> and scored one try and booted three goals against the <a href="/wiki/Eastern_Suburbs_Roosters" class="mw-redirect" title="Eastern Suburbs Roosters">Eastern Suburbs Roosters</a>. Gearin missed out in Canterbury's 7-6 1985 Grand Final win over former club St. George, but he was still in attendance at the Sydney Cricket Ground and was part of the lap of honour with the squad after winning the premiership on Grand Final day. At the end of the 1985 season he played 13 games, scoring seven tries and booting 32 goals for 92 points. In 1986 he didn't play any First Grade for the Canterbury side and overall since returning to <a href="/wiki/Belmore,_New_South_Wales" title="Belmore, New South Wales">Belmore</a>, he didn't see eye to eye with first grade coach <a href="/wiki/Warren_Ryan" title="Warren Ryan">Warren Ryan</a> as he was a very defensive-minded tactician of a coach and defending was not one of Gearin's strengths. His last game for Canterbury was at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Reserve Grade in round 8 in their 26–16 win over the South Sydney Rabbitohs. </p><p>After 9 Rounds of the <a href="/wiki/1986_NSWRL_season" title="1986 NSWRL season">1986 NSWRL season</a> Gearin lost patience as he was fed up playing in Reserve Grade and he realised that under Warren Ryan and competing for a starting spot on the wing with young, talented and hungry players like <a href="/wiki/Steve_O%27Brien" title="Steve O'Brien">Steve O'Brien</a>, Matthew Callinan and <a href="/wiki/Sandy_Campbell_(rugby_league)" title="Sandy Campbell (rugby league)">Sandy Campbell</a>, he was not part of the club's future plans in first grade and as a result, the next week he requested a release from the club which was accepted by club CEO Peter Moore and Gearin decided to join the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles in search for any opportunity to revive his First Grade career and for geographical reasons as he lives and works in the <a href="/wiki/Manly,_New_South_Wales" title="Manly, New South Wales">Manly</a> area. He only ended up playing a few first-grade games for Manly and played the rest of the 1986 season in Reserve Grade. His last game of his Career was at the Sydney Cricket Ground in the 1986 Reserve Grade Semi Final for Manly against the North Sydney Bears where Manly lost 36–20. At the end of the 1986 season he decided to Retire due to a mixture of falling out of love and interest with the game and wanting to focus on his School-teaching career and his family. He never played International Rugby League or State of Origin. He only played for NSW City Seconds in 1981. </p><p>To this day, Gearin is still a <a href="/wiki/School_teacher" class="mw-redirect" title="School teacher">School teacher</a> at <a href="/wiki/St_Luke%27s_Grammar_School" title="St Luke's Grammar School">St Luke's Grammar School</a> on the <a href="/wiki/Northern_Beaches" title="Northern Beaches">Northern Beaches</a> of Sydney.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.
