Does he play the piano?

Wakey have just beaten Hull FC, which is something we couldn't do with a full team out! Also, John Kear has had to rebuild his team mid season. If we had lost our key playmaker and goal kicker upon which we had built our team not even halfway through the season plus at least one of our more dynamic props (homesickness - wuss), how would we have fared? People on here are saying we lost on Friday because we had our playmakers out. Imagine what we would have been like, in that case, had we had no playmakers from about round 8.

Minus O'Meley and Long - who played in both our defeats. No Long, hmm that's interesting. Anyone might think missing playmakers might have an impact on performance . . . .

Which full team are you on about anyway - the one that was missing Meli then lost players to injury (ending up with Roby on the wing IIRC) during the game or the one that was missing Gardner/Soliola/Eastmond/Puletua/wilkin/Faasavalu . . . . .



Ahhh, so you do seem to admit that losing key playmakers has an impact. Excellent. So like building your season on Eastmond/Pryce/Cunningham as playmakers then them not being available. Wonder when that happened.



You mean like Maurie?



Probably about 3rd and in the semi of the cup.

They have won matches with Long and O'Meley missing.


The one we had for the first half of the very first game of the season. Remember? We could only see half the pitch. We'd lost Soliola by halftime. I think we were also losing by halftime, if memory serves.


That isn't what I said and you know it. I said other people on here are saying that. The only impact missing halves has is lack of creativity and maybe a lack of communication but there should be others standing up to do that. If they can be bothered.


I believe Maurie made it through our first match against Hull. He was injured later on. And I'm not sure he's dynamic anyway. He hasn't been for a while. I think it would be like losing Graham.


Well, I would agree. However, like I said, others on here have blamed our injuries for losing matches. I don't. But I was putting forward an alternative scenario based on what people here have been saying in response to your derogatory post about Kear.

Personally, I think Saints have a much more talented squad than do Wakey, which is why I don't see injuries or lack of playmakers as an excuse for being unable to catch, pass and tackle, and a lack of effort.

A corpse that will be walking to Bratfud apparently.

very well said

I wonder about the mental condition of those who think John Kear would be a good coach for us.

Right on.

Who would check his paperwork?

Personally, I don't think he would be. However, he's a decent bloke and I think he's had a tough time with the squad he has.

John Kear would undo everything that's been achieved at Knowsley Road since Eric Hughes. To suggest him is lunacy.

I can't comment on that, I've never met him.

Kear comes across as a good Rugby man who loves the game, sayintg that Ive never been convinced about him as a coach and would not like to see him at Saints as a head coach.

John Kear has found his level........................Leave him be.
