Finally some common sense, post of the year!

BURN HIM.....IN CAS

With respect to license points, the club could finish 11th but still be classed as averaging a top 8 place over the last three seasons so there is some scope to play with on the final league position. I don’t think the club will reach the playoffs but sacking Kear is not an option.

As many have said the club punch above their weight and have done for the last three years. We have a small home support and pretty much operate on a knife edge financially which means the club are not the most attractive outfit for the better quality of players. Trinity are lacking at HB. I don’t think anyone realised just how much we relied upon Brough. Yes he was an awkward, petulant little so and so and he had bad games as well as good, but he did provide the direction and spark which has been severely lacking since his departure.

I LOL @ this thread.

LOL. LOL. LOL.

financially speaking the club should have the money to bring in some quality. brough tronc and newton were all big contracts.

also have to take a look at our quota players for me.

is blanch any better than morton, murphy or george?
does millard offer anything that is not available domesticaly
if tronc goes then how much difference would it make if we put gledhill in there?

one thing the youngsters will not do is walk around like a bunch of uninterested ramblers on a sunday afternoon.

i hope they are all banging on jk s door this morning.

Blanch doesn't count towards the quota, i believe he's exempt from the non-fed regulations too.

Thank you, saved me having to right something similar.
This is a waste of forum pages. JK is by far our MVP.

nice write up, the facts are we have improved each year, we should of beaten Catalan last season in the play offs but failed,
yesterdays game had two lucky tries against us and players just shrugging their shoulders and not putting in the graft, the last twenty we seemed to pick up the pace or more panic and it failed, this needs to be instilled from the start but we know that,
we'll see either a change of attitude by the players or player power once again

there a couple of players I would drop and wouldn't see another game of rugby for me, let them waste away in limbo

Getting rid of JK is not the answer.

We need to get some stability within the team. It hasn't help with players leaving so early in the season for whatever reasons and then players coming in and trying to click with the current squad. Yesterday should be the catalyst that fires the players up for the rest of the season as I'm pretty sure they don't want to suffer a defeat like that again!

If JK is guilty of anything it is trusting and showing faith and believe in his players. Some players IMHO need a good shake and kick up the backside. Time for JK to put some boots up peoples s and time to put a few noses out of joint me thinks.

A change is required ASAP to freshen things up and to make all players aware their is competition for places.

Until we get the new ground and have bigger crowds we are allways up against it. JK has worked wonders and we owe it too him to stick by him until he accepts he is done. JK has been a god to us without question its time TED spent some brass and helped him out a bit im affraid !

Honestly!

This thread is just ridiculous, John Kear is as safe as McGuire at Wigan, Smith at Warrington, Brown at Hudds etc...

To even contemplate the subject, let alone start a discussion about it, is just poor in the extreme!

John Kear has been great for the club, leaving aside the Million pound survival match, he has brought us a measure of success on a pityfull budget, he's overseen the revamp and medernisation of our backroom proceedures, he's improved our youth policy's and systems and so on..

When JK decides he's had enough of being a coach, I fully expect him to move upstairs where he can continue to steer the football side of the business in the same professional and dignifed manner that has become his trademark.

Top post Clan! Finally some sense!

I can't believe people are actually thinking about sacking kear.... Even if we sacked him, who are we going to get? He's the best english manager around so get off him back...

Good job you are not Quins fans- 2 in 25 we have won!!!

Hope it's not 3 in 26 after Saturday!

JK had his day? Rubbish!!!!
How many times does JK drop the ball, miss a tackle, give away a penalty?
Erm ......... none!!!
it's the players who go out on the field who do those things and (as of yesterday in particular) seem to not have any inclination to put up a fight.
If JK's tactics and coaching were good enough to get us to 5th last year, how come some people now think he's not up to the job? He hasn't changed - the players have. And short of nailing them down, we can't stop players leaving - contracts seem to mean nothing, and the 'better offers' being made to certain individuals and other 'incidents' are disruptive and seem to have made a real mess of any team spirit, which is a shame cos team spirit has often got us to higher than we would otherwise have done.

Who else would be interested in the job?
Who would be better than Kear that we could afford?
Crazy talk form same old folk...

www.skysports.com/story/0,19528, ... 25,00.html Doesn't mention anything in there about Kear getting in England job. Looking more and more like its Mcnamara!

And how depressing is that!

bradford won't see it like that

Spot on mate,from what I've seen this loss of form is down to the players and the lack of doing the basics correctly,you could excuse a lack of form due to Brough and a few players coming in and out,but you cannot excuse the lack of fight,drive and enthusiasm of Pro Rugby League players.
With the odd exception they don't seem to be able to tackle,run hard with the ball,back the ball runner up,kick chase,kick full stop all the basics never mind dummy runners actually looking like they are going to take the ball as well as attacking moves.
The one big thing I've noticed is with the odd exception our imports have been very poor.In my mind the idea of imports is they should be some of the better players in a side and we just haven't seen that.

We would be in serious trouble/free fall if Kear left.

I honestly do not think anyone could do a job better than him at Wakey on the resources available. He has to be one of the best for getting more out of regular players/journeymen/career back enders than Ive ever seen

Their chairman describes him as 'the best young English coach' or somesuch. Which is utter rubbish. He doesn't come across on telly as someone who could motivate anyone to do anything!

"Why would we want to lose arguably the best young British coach in the game?" www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... gland.html Sounds like a Carlsberg moment.
