so your choice is to get smith back , not good enough imho

not choice, reality of what could potentially happen, given history of recent developments in the club, it was a joke,

I did not realise it was a popularity contest. Hope if/when Kear does move on the board does not go with that criteria.

Kear has earned the right to replace the 3 players you have lost, without doubt, but were he to leave Millward would be a realistic, quality coach with recent NRl experience and methodology.

As for the fans not liking him, fans are fickle you only have to read this very board to see that, a few good wins and they will accept anyone.

I personally would be shocked if a club in the mid to lower regions of the table were looking for a new coach that Millward would not be a serious contender, the job he is doing at Leigh for the second time is nothing short of fantastic.

King Millward, may not have the same ring to it though.

just pointing out the fact that no other wakey fan as come up with this , for me milward would be a step backwards as i dont think he could do a job with limited resources hes more of a spend spend spend to gain success

by your logic Andy Kelly and Mitch Brennan are in the running, you certainly seem to have a bee in your bonnet

Funnily enough, that was the name I suggested when Smith got the boot!

If this was a serious thread then I would suggest we could go for Adrian Vowles who Cas are lining up or the soon to be departing Matterson

powell or mccormack for me.

both coach their players to play good expansive rugby, you never no it could catch on!

failing that its probably an assistant from aus.

JD player coach probable short term solution.

Trent Robinson

What's his coaching experience?

It's a silly topic as Kear isn't going (with a stupidly misleading title as well), and if he was, on past form, we'd promote from within, or get someone cheap from the Championship.

mutley stick to talking crap i dont usually call people anything but your an idiot people vote with there feet.

Powell

Being in the changing rooms,

he's aquiring coaching badges [citation needed and has expressed a wish to coach on a few occasions. I suppose coaches are getting younger all the time and knowledge of what is going on in the park now and what went on 25 years ago is also a benefit?



I'd say for a [ifact[/i he'd throw his hat in. So might Willie Poching!

frankly any coach with some background. john kear is the only recognised top level coach we have had in ages. promoting players into the head coach roll does not work but would probably be the sort of rubbish idea the wakey board would go for.

better keep kear!

what a load of rubbish some people come out with. jk is the best thing to happen to wakey in years and most people with half a brain would know that. its a good job that no one takes notice of the sack the coach brigade. the rl guru's who couldn't coach an amateur side that take every chance to snipe at a coach that is doing his pre season training in mid season. the same ones that were on here last week saying how was we beat by a lowly harlequins side by one score which this week beat the best team in sl. got beat again this week by one score. nothing wrong with the effort but the backs quite obviously aren't firing and nor would you expect them to be after what has taken place but i am sure a little bit more time and the players stick together and we will get back on the horse . then the sack the coach crew can stop wetting themselves and start bagging the players again.

it wasn't that long ago since you were struggling to raise money,so i can't see the board paying off kear,unless his contract runs out at the end of the season??it's not as if he's been given that much money for his squad is it?injuries kicking in wont help either,plus brough leaving wont have helped him neither!!

Yes agree JK is one of only coaches we have had for a long time. Its just a case of back to the drawing board and a few quality players in. Having watched Melbourne this morning we could start with Cameron Smith & Billy Slater ( after they have helped the Maroons beat NSW of course) also they could bring Cooper Cronk with them. That would ease their salary cap problems.

maybe so but i am sure that there are some on here that would still be screaming sack the coach for signing them and ted for paying them.

Why on earth would we be sacking JK?

Get real - we are suffering a loss of form and confidence - and our answer is to sack the coach, the board and anyone who mutters anything positive about the club. How does any of this help restore confidence to anyone who reads this board???

The answers to most of our problems are closer than we think - we just need to work it out!

It's all TRB's fault - there I've said it.




What's that phrase, ah yes, 'Burn him'. Wonder if that would attract the crowds? But who would we burn the week after?

If he thought it would help the club he'd be fine with that.

We could run a poll to decide

Whoever thought the 'burning' thing was funny in the first place?

Most people on this forum to start with.

Kear has made some strange decisions of late but we should give the guy backing I still think he is a GOD. We owe him time. Its MR Richardson who needs to help us the most here .Kear has done everything he can on a shoe string.
