I think he is a coach who needs a club with good resources behind him and he was never going to get that here. I could see him doing a good job on the backroom staff at a team like Hull who are already good defensively but struggle to score points. Something like that would be a good fit for him for a couple of years.

As I said last night at 8pm, gone by his own choice. Good coach, wrong time.

Nobody will doubt that he is a good man and he will do well in the future but, the guy was drowning.
At this point in time he was out of his depth but, maybe in the future, just as Daryl Powell has done (since getting sacked by Leeds), he will come good.

Nice bloke and he deserves some success, this just wasn't his time.

Allelujah! That's made my day. Done the honourable thing so admire him for that, his demeanour in recent weeks spoke volumes. Now we must appoint the right guy.

Don't talk so stupid. Look at the results for God's sake!
Maybe let down by his team might be more appropriate?

Whilst nobody wants to see anyone lose their job, every man and his dog knew it was time for a change.

Kear in Thursday so my mate tells me

Onwards and upwards hopefully will be a good coach one day but should have gone after Warrington result

OK webbo being sacked but its the players who need to take some responsibility they owe the fans big time

Thanks for your efforts James, just not quite up to it just yet and let down by some players who should be ashamed.

Glen or JK for me if at all possible.

Would prefer Neil Kelly as a more progressive option not a short term fix, but if it is Kear then hopefully he can get them playing like a team again and do enough to ensure our survival.

A coach who has just seen a huge losing streak that had no sign of ending, causing dwindling crowds, and got dumped out of the Challenge Cup by a lower league side after giving up a commanding lead. Yeah, right. My only hope is that you're head of recruitment at Cas.

I agree

Its won't solve every thing by any means but its a start and things can surely only get better.

I like Kear and said at the time I'd only want him to go if we brought better in. With Agar and subsequently Webster we didn't. I'm not sure a return is the right move. In the long run I'm definitely sure it's not the right move and I don't think he'll be coming in for a short term deal.

What worries me most about the departure is that according to a journo the showdown meeting was at Webster's request. Good on him for falling on his sword, but why it became his option, not the club's, is beyond me. He should have gone a few weeks ago.

I hope the JK rumours are true. Stuart Dickens should only be for this week surely, and I dread to think we are going down the Tony Smith, Webster route again, in that we just promote the assistant of the previously-failing coach.

Sorry to see anyone lose their job but a change had to be made for the good of the Club.

Best wishes James.

Brucie is a troll, he's fishing for bites.

I don't wish him bad luck and he may find a place in the game, but never in this universe will he be a first team SL or NRL Coach - at that level you need genuine leadership/political skills and he has not got them IMHO.

Glad he's gone. Only problem it's taken too long, should've gone after the Wire game.

Might be a good man but I for one doubt the rest big style.

The Carter way. Did it with Agar and Webster, now Webster and Dickens. History repeating itself.

I would like the Neil/Andy Kelly option in a perfect world though they only slightly ahead of Kear mainly due to them offering perhaps a fresher approach IMHO - but there can surely be no doubt that Kear is the man to dig us out of the crap short term with a proven track record - it's a huge ask even for him but it's got to be our best chance. Then if it works a 1 year deal with a 2nd year option should certain criteria be met by him.

i bet theres a bit of a scrap going on between the rl journo's to get a first interview with webbo. if he's gone of his own accord there won't be any restrictions on what he can say although mc may have got some assurances from him.

Short term has to be Kear, no other option for me - he will give us just what we need. Longer term, I'm not sure he is the answer but we can worry about that later on when we get out of this hole.

I was a big critic of Kear in the end last time round, and him going was the right decision at the time - but now under different circumstances I would be happy for him to come in.

As has already been said, the coach going shouldn't detract from the poor performances of the players over the last couple of months. To lose to Leigh in the manner we did was unforgivable for me - and our senior players and captain need to have a long hard look at themselves because new coach or not if they don't we will end up back where we are now after the innevitable new coach boost.
