Quote Saddened!="Saddened!"John Kear is exactly the coach we needed last season and this. He is a superb coach at getting the best out of his players. At Wakefield he is extracting every ounce of ability from them. If he were our coach we wouldn't be losing to the likes of Hull KR.'"
Didn't get too much out of them last week.
Let's look at this reasonably. Kear has scraped wins against very poor Quins and Catalans sides by 8 points. He then beat a distracted Leeds team at a time when they also lost to a poor Castleford. They then lost to an injury hit Saints team before getting mullered to nil by Huddersfield. They did OK last week, but Hull KR conspired to chuck it away from a commanding position.
Kear is not good enough for Saints. He's a mid table coach and does well getting the best out of some limited players. He was an absolute disaster as England coach and oversaw the worst England performance I can remember at home in the semi final v NZ in 2000.
Quote Saddened!="Saddened!"If Saints can find a Maguire/Smith type coach from the NRL then fine, but it HAS to be someone charismatic to fit the club and it has to be someone who can inspire average players to greater things.'"
Saints' squad is not average, you are becoming a cliche. Which is a shame because you make some good points when you're not playing up to some online character.
