Mopsey will be happy

with Morrison in charge Wakey would "break on through" to the top 8.

Aren't these players who are supposedly professional able to light their own fires.

Why is it in all team games it is always the coach/mangaer who gets sacked not the prima donnas on the pitch.

I suppose if you don't like the doors then it's pretty much lost on people eh, but made me smile......

Yeah. Some "people are strange".

I notice they have not put him on the poll for the new coach

All the coaches spoke about could do the job, a make do measure to the end of the season does not seem an option to me. Jk , Ak, or N K all have a connection to the club and for one reason or another could make very good options.
I would like to see the club show some ambition and try to tempt a top player - coach with a good pedigree The time for the cheap options are over and with the right kind of marketing a new coach could add 1000 to the gates.
Go for it Wakefield show some ambition.

Kevin Sinfield?

Oversight!

If he brings Rocky (Surely Wakefield is the only place for a player with that nickname)with him he can be assistant coach

Kevin sinfield would be a first rate choice . The cc could be a problem for both him and J P

Excuse me for not knowing; does Mopsey like Kear? If not why?

We now have Jonathan Flatman - who previously worked at Hull FC.

Very bright lad, but his role is more supportive of Michael & Chris than leadership on the rugby front.

Probably need someone a little more well rounded in there as well then....

loves him mate, Mopsey will

to King John

Once of London Scholars??

Ooh, don't know about that.

He talks a good game!

Like someone said previously, under Kear's regime we had a good squad and we attracted crowds. His teams play in a very structured way, and you need players like Brough to excite that. Tim Smith is perfectly capable of doing that, if those around him show the effort. He was stymied eventually by the collapse of the Thornes Park ground notion, as that brought about administration. But even with the team that followed, the bunch of kids and lower league try-hards, we did well enough. Was often a bit dull, but with little talent in the squad, we had no choice to play in a structured way. You can only play with what you have.

As someone has said, Kear has enough experience to bring more than just a coaching role. He might bring his knowledge of the game too.

People say why would he or Morrison leave steady jobs. Because they like to challenge themselves. That's why he took the job in 2006. The squad was probably better then, because there seemed to be a lot of unity in the squad, with a lot of antipodean players who socialised together away from the club (look at how Obst and Semi followed JD to Northern Pride), but our current squad is no way a poor squad. It's hard to fathom why it's gone so wrong.

I'm always suspicious of coaches that talk a good game. Agar, Cullen and Millward was champions of talking a good game, theory and practice was always out of sink with them.

Loves him to bits really, just too stubborn to admit it

He's not the coach though - so we're ok!

2007 and 2008 especially were really enjoyable. Seems a life time ago now. I can't believe Kear won't get something out of this squad with the pack we have

Agreed

I think the squad as a whole is far better than we've had for the past 2/3 years and although the comp is harder with 12 clubs (instead of 14), we should be competitive with the bottom 5/6 clubs and not cut adrift after 13 games (albeit with a game in hand)

A bit of belief and some defensive structure and we can start to compete.

Wakefield have had to defy the odds for al of their time in SL and it's no different now.
Stand up and be counted and lets see w hat happens !

Tim Smith - player/coach.

Strange thought. Personally when Mr Carter was talking about players not bothered about losing to Leigh in the dressing room Tim Smith was the first to pop into my head.
