It's not just about John though, is it. We have had a turbulent season, but we can use that as an excuse until the cows come home, or we can just dust ourselves down and make a fist of what is left.

The players really stood up to be counted last night and, importantly, didn't panic at any stage - especially that period in the second half when they had a load of posession, but... we were never behind and we didn't have any dubious decisions go against us - those will be the real tests for the side, and we will have to wait for another day to see if we've learned from our experiences. We don't want the heads to drop and a possible 10 point margin run out to 30 points because we 'gave up'.

As for JK - anyone who saw his reaction to Millards try would know that he is still in this job 100%, and that stability is exactly what we need at the club right now.

that trb is a ludicrous statement 100 per cent my backside,he wanted to go, you know it i know it , everyone knows it. when it went pete tong he came back to good old trin. when he gets offered the cas job hel dump us youll see. god send is theyll be as crap as us . KEAR OUT. i stand by it.

but you have conveniently forget the last 3 seasons and the progress we have made before that our only target was to finish 2nd bottom
under JK we have challenged for the play offs made the play offs made a CC semi and the kids won a GF

for me JK is doing a fine job as for other departments within the club some are good some are a bloody shambles

Good for you!

Oh alright - we were never off the pace! Is that better?

Yep, that'll do

You mean you actually watched it and didnt spend the whole of the game in the bar, well done pops

me mam will be proud of yer thats if I tell her

Stay, unles he wants to go, which I think he does, he would have been munching on snails and frogs legs if he had is own way by now

correct,you on the other forum yet

Anyone fancy PM'n me the link for the other forum

=#FF0000EDIT Got it now, no need for more pm's thankyou

I think the word 'adversity' was invented for Wakefield Trinity. After the last 2 seasons no-one could fault John Kear for wanting to go to a 'normal' club. But for me, if he leaves, it could spell the death knell for Wakefield.

Mr Trinity himself TRB would have words with the Dragons if it meant coaching in the South of France over Belle Vue. If finances got so bad down the line that TRB was the coach mind.

The players will have ribbed JK for it and got on with it. Getting momentum on the field is the hurdle for the club now. A good coach will get the players ignoring the stadium debacle and focussed on the job in hand.

Too right I AM old boy, check out my new name

for all your top quality plumbing supplies !!!!!

Slightly O/T perhaps, but I wonder what the Huddersfield fans think of Nathan Brown now he's decided to stay? I mean, it was obvious he wanted to go. He said as much himself. Will his heart still be in the job? Will he have the respect of the players? Or will everyone just be content that they have the services of a decent coach for another season?

In reality it all depends on how he gets on next year. If they have a poor start supporters will naturally get on his back. If they do well there won't be a murmur.

And that's exactly how it should be, yes?

To an certain extent, however, things could go wrong for a variety of reason during a coaches tenure and just because a coach may have been considering his options doesn’t mean he isn’t bothered about his current role.

With regards to Brown, with all the improvement Huddersfield have achieved under his stewardship I would’ve thought he had earned some grace with the supports for a patch of indifferent/poor form.

Totally different to Kear IMO. Brown was going back to Aus and not to one of the Giants competitors and Hudds have been winning more than they lose and competing in pretty much all of their games and playing entertaining rugby

And have spent several hundred thousand pounds more doing and currently sit a whole 5 points above us in the table.

Change the coaches around (if you could afford to) and see what each one gets out of the respective squad / money available!

GO GO GO GO GO NOW

I'm quite sure you can think of at least one person who could do the job better!

Not as simples as that IMO. Brown would almost certainly have signed different players, I doubt he would have signed the likes of Kyle Bibb and Gleeson if he had limited resources.

Conditioning is another area where I think we are currently lagging behind the majority of clubs. If there was anyway of persuading Geoff Evans to come back from Odslum, IMO we should be making that a priority, as we have seen in the past the benefit of good conditioning and what it can do.

To be fair it's not exactly helping Bradford right now.

It certainly did when they played us
