I voted for Kear for 3 reasons
1. We need more bodies to compete, given they are unlikely to come from Super League clubs or overseas quickly enough, they are likely to come the championship and Kear has good knowledge of the players in that league
2. He has experience of battling against a very tight budget and producing competitive committed sides.
3. He is a motivator, players perform for him. My neighbor is club doctor for Batley, and a typical 50 year old. He says after hearing a Kear oratory before a game, he would go out and perform for the team!

61 missed tackles yesterday

Our defense hasn't been good enough for 6 years and above. Capable of isolated heroic deeds but in general not good enough. On the basis all SL players can tackle, it has down to the right structure. For too long we've had to score 30+ points to be in with a fair chance of winning. Should be score 20 you're in with a fair chance. Appreciate in last 3 years finances may have prevented us make coaching changes, but whatever happens next, that has to be a very high priority.

I am genuinely shocked it was only 61 Roger.

I went on Thursday but not yesterday,watched all the tries on Super League Fulltime tonight, Thursdays was even worse when sober and yesterday, as the score line suggests was absolutely disgusting

We must be the only team that just doesn't move up when defending

Is that coach or players?

Ditto, went on Thursday and that was bad enough, couldn't face a repeat at Wigan. 2 years ago when we won at the DW was one of my best memories of over 40 years as a supporter, how far we've fallen

The rest of the time they didn't get near enough to even attempt a tackle?

Sign him up - couldn't be any worse

Seriously though, I agree about Kear and its for very similar reasons I would be happy to see him at the helm. He has a very real and very current experience of who is available and worthy at Championship level - as well as plenty of knowledge at SL level as well from his media work and general experience.

I think he could work to a budget and make a real difference, whereas I think Noble would need a lot of money to effect worthwhile change.

That's true. I spent a large part of the 2nd half with my head in my hands but would have guessed I'd have needed a calculator. I'm probably gonna be slaughtered for this but should Kearney not be taking some responsibility for the poor organisation of our defensive line. As full back he should be organising them particularly when defending on the line, but it seems like organised chaos there at the moment.

Haven't watched the highlights of either game, they were bad enough to sit through the first time. On way to game my daughter had said maybe it will be like 2012 when we saw them win there against all odds (still one of her favourite games). After watching the warm up yesterday she predicted us losing by 50.

What strikes is the complete lack of passion,organanising and tackling.(Sorry there was no tackling and at times not even close enough to the opposition to contemplate a tackle)

We had the excuse when Hull piled 70.........They are drained,emotionally.
We all lapped it up.

But what here.
Players been paid.
Up to Cap.

Think they"ve thrown the towel in and many are picking up too much for very little.
The Telegraph Argus interview with Bateman shows just how professionally they run compared to this overpaid underperforming shower.
Cummins....to nice to say it how it is.
Gale spends a year been paid a fortune when injured.
Now hes fit does not appear the darling Franny thinks he is.

Rip it up and start again.
The song remains the same.

Music Quiz there anyone.
Better than watching e.

It's so extraordinary, it's impossible to say. It feels like a total collapse in trust. They're not listening to the coach and they don't believe in the guy stood next to them.

I don't believe this is all Cummins fault but I don't see how he can stay.

Being telling that for years.

Why not:

Go into Admin now on basis Administrator will make all FT players redundant

Re-sign only 6 on FT terms on sensible basic

Rest on part time terms

and start the re building, with next season in mind, NOW.

makes much better use of whatever income there is.
