Have to say I’m fascinated by this one. If it were not for my natural cynicism towards MC and hid predecessors I’d call this a master stroke.

JK’s strongest asset IMO was always his ability to recruit good players overlooked by others.

If Chester is willing to listen and Kear doesn’t interfere to much he can help him tremendously with what he does best, turn coal into diamonds which is what we will need to fight it out in the middle 8.

Should Chester fail then you have an immediate coach and Director of Rugby for the championship - two jobs for the price of one.

Lets not be coy, despite the 2017 tag Kear will have covertly started his mission already which again can only help.

Kears alleged neglect of the Academy is legendary amongst some of the “legends” on here, yet few of those players made it. The much vaunted Anakin is yet to impress any of the four coaches at the club none of whom had an axe to grind with him. Maybe it’s just time to accept that team had a great season but individually they were nothing special - or is that just to controversial for some.

What happens if Wakefield play batley in the million pound game

A game of rugby league is played and whoever wins plays in Super League the following season.

Easy answer eh?

let us hope not

A mention too of his involvement with the Welsh national team and the World Cup besides having great knowlage of championiship players, the young and hungry ones preferably.
