Some people make me laugh!!! NOBODY else would have kept this club in the super league in 2006, NOBODY!!
2009 we finished 5th, thats 5th in super league despite working from one of the lowest budgets in the comp
The tragic happenings that have surrounded this club over the past five years and JK handled this with dignity and kept everybody together.
Just three reasons why John Kear deserves your respect, ok his tatics recently and at times in the past have left people scratching their heads BUT this isnt a good reason to pull the man apart bit by bit! That would be pretty childish imo..
Just say thank you to John Kear for all you have done for this club and good luck in the future, this club wil go on no matter what, have some dignity for goodness sake!!

Totally agree with you man. JK has done a magnificent job and we lost our way mainly (maybe totally) because the club ran out of cash.
The wheels began to fall off after Broughy left last season, which probably allowed us to survive the rest of the year.
This season we began on the brink of oblivion, without enough players to put out a full team and in retrospect we have won more games than most people would have expected (some said we wouldnt win a game !).
There has been a problem with the style of play over the last few weeks and the signing of Hickey certainly won him no friends.
However, with all that has happened with the club while JK has been at the helm, he deserves our gratitude and appreciation.
Thank you John Kear.

part time supporter's - doncha just love 'em

Of course!

John should leave with his head held high. He's dragged us along since the time he saved us from relegation, and through some difficult and tragic events.

I've had a few conversations with him over the years and he has always been very passionate about the club and fans.

I know we argue about the "style" of rugby he likes (or has to) play, but he has my support for the rest of the season.

Let's let him leave with a bit of dignity and no abuse please.

One of the best coaches we have had at Hull. Good luck in what ever you do next John........We would have you back in a heartbeat

As Stevo says (far too often) without a doubt ...

Definetly know his and our intentions are known there's nothing to gain bar being supportive to JK.

He's done a lot for our club and acted with dignity throughout.
He'll always have a connection to WTW given the events he's had to endure here during his tenure.

Thats the main reason i would never knock the guy, he's had a tough job at Wakey with players passing away and players being sold, the club lurching from one problen to another and throughout that he's stood tall and kept his composure and dignity.

Not an easy feat imo.

It would be nice for him to leave with dignity.

There is a small but vociferous group of fans who are never happy unless they hound any ex-player or coach as a traitor. The only ones who seem to get away with it are those who have a swipe at the BOD before leaving which seems to elevate them to hero status.

What these people don't seem to realise or care about is the damage this does to our club.

We as a club for a number of reasons have had a dreadful reputation throughout the game for as long as I can remember. Which through the years has cost us and has only recently started to go away.

Solomona was vilified for absolutely no good reason by some. Yet he is a big name in Somoan RL. When asked by young Samoans about our club what sort of a report do you suppose he gives.

JK is an even bigger fish, he comes into contact with so many people. One thing we don't need is to send him off with a grudge. He will almost certainly remain high profile in the game and will come into contact with a lot of people we may want to be on the right side of - we don't want anay of them especially players picking up a negative vibe from him.

I'm not naive enough to think JK doesn't put JK first of course he does. I don't expect him to be our unofficial goodwill ambassador, just for him to not actively hate us which would make a nice change.

There is nothing clever about making enemies especially when like us you need as many friends as you can get.

So for those who can't bring themselves to give JK a fond farewell at least try to say nothing until he has gone for the greater good of the club.

No.

I said it at the end of last season that I won't watch Wakefield under Kear, I got free tickets for 3 home game this season, the first two we were utter garbage so I didn't even use them for the 3rd game.

I'm really looking forward to next season under a fully committed coach.

[iTogether[/i we are stronger.

I'll cheer for Kear when he's not here! That first game without him i'm gunna call it "Have no fear kear's not here!"

You have not supported the team all season so your opinoin is worht less than nothing don't use the coach as a reason not to support the RWB.

HTH.

lupset well said.

Yeah well if you share an equal amount of brain cells you would think that.

personal insults now. grow up

AWTA

Its not an insult its an observation of a poster.

some of the most clued up rugby locals post on this forum and get abused for not posting what the brown tongue brigade want to here.

When i stop laughing i'll reply to that.

Think he means the clan and TRB AL

Thats fine i'll also challenge that, we all have views and opinions but some cant stand being challenged.

I DONT know either of those 2 posters tbh, i was refering 2 others on here.

Yesterday I would have voted 'yes' after today's game it's now a 'no'. I am fed up of one pass rugby! Any other team would have scored 40 past the Crusaders today!

JK was interviewed on radio leeds and I have never heard him so downbeat and upset at that second half performance, he almost couldnt speak that his time at WTW would end up like this! He also said "These players will face Warrington next and they could get 100 past them..." i.e not US but them...

thanks john for saving us! but im tired, the players are tired,the fans are tired so lets bid farewell and i hope your successful in whatever you do next cheers
