I would have thought if the Kear appointment does come off a few players who may have considered leaving may think again. Love him or loath him he has won Challenge cups, coached at the highest level for 300games and kept a weak club off the bottom of super league year after year. The players mentioned on here will be close to Rhino but they also feel part of a family at the mount(Tiger has talked of this many times over the last 2 years). We have lost a successful high profile coach and may have replaced him with a more high profile coach with proven track record! You may find it is Fax who are losing their top names to Batley!! Better to be a big fish in a small pond and get paid regularly, when agreed!!!
