| JK did well for Wakey when he came and we needed it lets not forget that.Probably it was the right time to part company and Agar just might prove somedoubters wrong given time who knows.I certainly think we would be higher up the table with JK but whos to say he would have brought this set of players in and not gone for a different set.

This is true. I understand that Aiton was an Agar signing and he is certainly an excellent player

| Said at the time and stick to it that Kear was the right man for the job. Like people say it's in the past now, no point looking back anymore.

Aiton has no where near the skill and energy as Tommy Lee. Bring back Kear and his fave player !!!

| It was not the best way to have the Manager moved out but it is in the past and part of the clubs vast history. Is Agar the man for all seasons? time will tell. However Mr Potter is now up for grabs should Mr Glover want to make changes.

Fortunately, Agar is still under contract as I really don't think Potter would suit our club.
(That said, hoping Potter and the Bulls coaching staff can find new employment and soon).

Too right he should. We wouldn't be the disarticulated bunch we are this year under him, I am absolutely positive of it

| Quote ="PopTart"I like what he did for Wakefield and would go as far as to say that he has been the most influencial coach we've had while I've been watching Wakefield (and I go back to late 70s).
Many times he made average players into better ones and bonded a team to beat teams they really shouldn't have expected to.
Equally we had games where it didn't go well. That's just sport I'm afraid.
I didn't want Kear before he came. Didn't really like the teams he'd been at, but he changed my mind and it remains changed.
I didn't really want Agar either, preferring to keep Kear, but now we have Agar I'm willing to learn from my mistake with Kear and give him a chance to prove himself and build a club.'"
Thing is, Kear hit the ground running. I think its very unfair to point to how things went in the immediate aftermath of Administration. He stood no chance at all with that squad; as for blooding youngsters, were there really that many who were good enough or anywhere near ready? I stand to be corrected but the glimpses I got didn't show any future internationals shouting out. The whole season could never be anything more than damage limitation. I don't see any hope at all with Agar. Same mistakes over and over. No sign the coach knows how to get the squad to at least partly improve the obvious flaws. I am happy to eat my words but I cannot see a hope RA can really coach at this level. The only thing one might say is that the squad was assembled to a great degree before he was in place and the final test is seeing what he brings in and what he makes of them.....but would I risk my cash on him if I was AG; not on your Nellie. There has been very little to suggest we have improved or moved forward on the pitch except for a few occasional flashes in tha pan that soon are gone. If we can afford it, unless there is a marked improvement in these last few games, I would not start next year with Agar or risk valuable resources on him. And Bradford's loss I wouldn't at all mind being our gain.

| Don't want to talk down what Kear achieved with us here because I was a big admirer of him but we got regularly spanked throughout his time here and spanked worse than what we we have this year so far.
No doubt I'd like some of our close loses back this year but imo some people are really over doing how poor we've played this year, with the squad we've got we're doing about par for the course.

| We may not be getting big spankings but 29 points per game is not good enough.

Maybe and I'm not saying otherwise but like I said above some people imo have gone a bit ott with the condemnation of how we've played this season. But for a call here or there we could have easily had another 4 or 5 wins.

The same could be said for RA, with his lastminute.com SL squad.

| I think it is showing now we are moving through the season that we needed time. For me, things are improving. They are playing better together, better attack certainly. There are obviously still holes but the harder ground and time with each other have certainly had an affect.
Same has happened with Widnes. They were pretty much in the same position as us in terms of new players. They are getting it together now.
i would imagine both will be better next season if they can keep a core squad together over the off season.

I thought Paul Anderson had already got the gig, cant see JK going there.
He would do a cracking job at Cas, but it would do my head in if he became their coach.

The thing is, it’s like your wife having an old flame that you know she liked a lot in the past, but it was before you and it doesn’t matter because she married you in the end.
Even after you are divorced it is not a problem
But if she then goes and marries him it implies that she always did like him more than you and you were just a convenience.
It hurts just to think about it.
Don’t do it John! Think of the good times! We’ll always have Paris and the million dollar game!!!!!!!!
