| To be fair I'm sure glover said his aim was to make the club self sustaining. There has been plenty off field development recent months to make this a realistic goal I'n the near future.
The playing side has seen little investment but that is fine for me.
We are I'n a transition period with an eye on the end of July.
I get cheesed off like anybody else when our team collapses but it seems we are setting ourselves up well for the future. That future IMHO will involve a shake up of the playing side and set-up.

| Quote ="Jambon"I have finally lost interest in the club i love, i can accept defeats, but when were racking up cricket scores and just simply not competing i cant bring myself to watch. Kear has to go NOW! Give Drury the job till the end of the season. By this time we will know where we are playing, if Tony has done a good job, keep him on, if not Powell / Harrison or we search OZ for a decent young assistant with good coaching credentials.'"
No way they are just poor man versions of Kear. I would go with your second option, I'm afraid it probably has to be an Aussie with someone like Drury as a guide.

| I know naff all about coaching the game at senior level but what really frustrates me is that, in virtually every game this season, even when we've played really badly and/or have been seriously tonked, we usually have a 10 or 15 minute period where we throw the ball around, back up, off load and generally play good rugby league. When we play like that we often score and are certainly entertaining. Then we go back to the same old one out, head down, up the jumper stuff for 5 (if we're lucky) tackles followed by a crap kick and chase. We have absolutely nothing to lose so why doesn't Kear give the lads a bit of slack and let them play the rugby we know they can play? Yes they'll do something stupid, make wrong decisions, drop the ball etc but. as I say we've got nothing to lose. I'll go to the ends of the earth to watch them ('though I didn't go to HKR - that's asking too much!) and don't mind seeing them lose if they've had a go. But what we're seeing most of the time at the moment is boring, dull, predicatable, poor rugby. Surely it's Kear's job to rectify this and he doesn't show any signs of being able or willing to do so.
I've always liked Kear and respected him (though that was tested with the catalans business) but he doesn't appear to be doing his job and I now think it's time for him to go (but please don't ask me who I'd replace him with).

in virtually all drubbings, the losing side has a good 10-20 minute spell. it's not unique to us in our present form. this applies in the non-pro game too.

As I say, I know sweet FA about it but why does this happen? Surely , if they can do it for 10 to 20 minutes, they can do it for 40 minutes, 60 minutes, 80 minutes?
I realise that if you're playing a better side with better players they'll find ways of dealing with the threat but that doesn't mean you stop trying to play inventive rugby. Clearly th etactics we're using aren't working but we persevere with them and manage to make poor or average teams eg Quins, HKR Crusaders, Salford look like world champs.

Does he fancy taking over for the next few games. Give him a can of fosters and tell him to get a shrimp on the barby and suddenly his credentials will be there for all to see.

| What about Steve Georgallis? Former Wakey player, doing a decent job in the NRL - was interviewed for Salford job so obviously up for a head coach job over here.

JK by any chance. He will surely be putting in for the Cas one as well. God I hope he gets that job, that would make my day.
No wonder were playing crap. By the sounds of it the coach and half the team are busy sorting themselves out with other jobs.
Back to Kear, judging by all the jobs he has applied for he clearly wants out, so why do we put up with it.

But what if you went to a job and had to screw something in and instead of picking the slim nice fit screwdriver, you constantly pick the fat one that doesnt fit ?
And what if it took you 12 hours to do a job that actually should only take 4, if you came back to the office and said, Im going to have to make some changes to this so it gets better, but then proceed to do the same job somewhere else in the same style with the same tools (including the fat screwdriver) and it taking you 12 hours again.
