No. I think Kear has a shelf life of about 18 months. He always is reasonably successful in the short term, but after the initial newness has gone it always seems to go quite stale. I would want a coach who continually improve the side over a long period of time.

Do you think he could be on his way. By looking at your forum half the side seems to to be going.

Look at the improvement McGuire and Brown made at Wigan & Hull respectively to their British predecessors with largely the same squads! Neither were experienced NRL head coaches so it just goes to show there are good Aussie coaches about who mightn't have been given the chance yet in Oz.

Personally if Matterson does leave at the end of this season I'd be looking for a promising assistant coach from the NRL (unless we can get someone like Steve Foulkes or Wayne Bennett )

Certainly not - and if Wakie don't get their franchise he can always ply his trade as a Norris Cole lookalike!!

NO, end of

Its not that long since the chant was Matteson out by most of the fans on here, and quite a few were wanting Kear, just shows what a few weeks can do, and how fickle some fans can be.

Likewise with your fans,J.K is getting some praise after last night after wanting shut of him at the end of last season!.
