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

Crusaders coach Iestyn Harris refused to answer questions when facing the media for the first time since his club's withdrawal from Super League.

Harris made only a short statement after his side's 40-6 victory at Wakefield this afternoon and did not give any indication of his feelings over the club's demise.

Crusaders unexpectedly withdrew their application to compete in the Engage Super League for the 2012-14 seasons on Monday, the day before the Rugby Football League announced which 14 teams would be awarded licences.

Harris said: "I would just like to thank all the players for their efforts today in really difficult circumstances.

"They did themselves and their families proud.

"In regards to a statement from us, we have got a meeting with the RFL this week and then off the back of that we will be making a statement or press conference at the back end of this week coming up."

The withdrawal of Crusaders leaves most of their players without contracts for next year, but they looked far from demoralised as they crushed the Wildcats at the Rapid Solicitors Stadium.

Wakefield began the afternoon in party mood after the decision of Crusaders handed them an unexpected reprieve in the competition, but their celebrations soon turned flat.

Coach John Kear was also not in the most talkative of moods as he refused to speak about the additional surprising news from yesterday that he is to leave the club at the end of the season.

However, Kear did not mince his words as he conveyed his dismay at the Wildcats' display.

Kear said: "The first half was acceptable because it was competitive but the second half was woeful.

"You can see why the spectators were disgruntled. I can't argue with that because if I'd paid money I'd have been very disgruntled.

"The team looked as if they didn't care and they weren't trying."

Crusaders led only 6-0 after an attritional first half but ran in six tries as they eased to victory after the break.

Their players thanked their healthy contingent of travelling fans for their loyalty by throwing their shirts into the crowd after the final hooter.

Kear said: "We have reacted in a surreal way to a surreal week.

"There some players out of contract and looking to stay here or move elsewhere but they won't do it playing like that.

"Crusaders looked like they put a good job advert in today. We were totally the opposite.

"You may think I think, 'I'm not going to be here, so it doesn't matter,' but it does matter.

"It matters a great deal and it hurts me a great deal because I am a proud man. My boys did not play like proud men.

Or the coach saying it looks like we aren't trying as a reason.

Again Al I'll support the club this week via the club shop and have something other than 80 minutes of disgrace to show for it.

There's more to being a supporter than having a laugh with your clique, sorry mates, in front of the bottle bar. More to being a supporter than verbally attacking fellow supporters each week.

'Support Wakefield or die.' That should be the motto next season to please the clique on here!

Will you or won't you ?

Bigal has some good points too

Again , to be fair to the sometimes rather tedious LA, its a valid point, I posted years ago on here that we were like a gentlemans club, we want more fans and supporters but only if they are "of our kind", Ill admit I resent the new shirt brigade suddenly coming back when we win 4 or five games, see after leeds at home last for all the best examples!

Weirdly that was the same game, with brough not playing as he was off to hudds, that i knew the game was up. tronc went soon after, and to be honest we will take years to get back to that point,if we ever do.

Broughs and Troncs in the same team dont come around often to a small Rl club.

Always will, whatever form. It might be just buying the little lad a replica shirt one year but a fan is a fan in my book and we should stick together.
