| Quote: Blotto "Well it explains some of the deadline delay if Kear threw his hat in the ring last minute and also needs to negotiate a release from Wakey. Also those applicants that "mysteriously" withdrew probably were told they weren't in the running and given the option to withdraw gracefully!
If this comes to fruition along with new shirts on sale it will be an impressive bit of plate spinning considering the plates are wobbling badly!'"
I was told this morning from someone who usually knows his stuff, that the reason for the delay was more down to the preferred choice from the original applications not being able to agree terms. When an alternative was then seeked, Mr. Kear became an option.

Notice you're careful to use CLUB captain too Roger. Guessing if it is Smith then its more a ceremonial role as senior player, Like Langley used to be, and on field captain will be someone else picked by new coach. Can't see Smith staying fit for majority of games.

I think that, as it's a non-playing, figure head role as club captain, then my vote would go to Leon. Then again, I don't have a vote!

| Quote: Errol Stock "Bit ageist here. He has as much passion for the sport as anyone else I see/hear on TV - if not more.
Duffy is 74, unprofessional, gives away tickets and undermines those who have to pay, had to delete his twitter account after a drunken swipe at the fans.
So if any position at that club needs a [i"young, hungry and longer term successor"[/i its that one.'"
Aunt they training up the Social Me, dear person for that?

If Bradford stayed full time he could leave at 4.00 & be in Worky for 7.00 for the part-timers. You need to think outside the box.

Yes correct Mat. Lee Smith seems to be the one that's relaying info to the players in their group chats(obviously not been much lately)
Of course I could be proved wrong in a couple of hours

| I for one am over the moon with Kear especially if he is in for the long term (3 years) and has Greenwood as assistant.
For a third tier club to attract an SL head of rugby is a huge coup. Goes to show the Bulls are still a draw. Will hopefully put to bed a lot of bullpoop written on here and elsewhere about the future viability of the Bulls......

That can't happen.... can it?
I do fear that it's going to be the following...
3.00pm - Bulls announce John Kear as Head Coach
3.01pm - Wakefield announce statement claiming Kear under contract and no agreement in place for his release
3.02pm - Collective people them shelves and awaiting online forums and social media to erupt!!!
