I gave Kear the benefit of the dount yesterday after seeing the bit-part quote in the OP but having now seen the quote in full I am quite stunned. Didn't have Kear down as a moaner. Perhaps it was just heat of the moment after the match. I do sympathise with the opposition after being on the receiving end of it from Huddersfield at home last year which did go down as one of the most boring matches I've ever witnessed. However I do realise the irony that I'm not complaining as much now we're the beneficiaries

Another limited coach comes out and slams us when we've battered their side with a mixture of tactics, pace, aggression, skill and power.

I used to get bored when i'd turn up at 5 a side footy and get beat 20-0 each week. Funny thing was If I turned up and we won a game or even just competed in it and didn't get embarrassed i'd go away pretty happy and at least feel we'd had our money's worth.

Very bitter comments those which is a suprise as I read some positive comments from Kear elsewhere.

I feel sorry for the Wakey fans who made the journey over. Bad enough being hammered, let alone your coach totally embarrassing you after the game is over.

I suppose Kear feels like he's been around long enough that his words should carry some weight in the RL World. He seems to regard himself as one of the wise old men of Superleague - rather than a sad Zippy from Rainbow lookalike with specs and an annoying nasal voice, which is the way I've always thought of him.

A rather more balanced comment from someone who was in the thick of it yesterday. (Taken from a thread on the Wakey board)

i would sooner watch paint dry than watch grass grow

Exactly. So he can added to the list.

Absolute cracker.

These comments have been made by a man who wants to be the next England coach.

What would be the reaction of the nations supporters if he came of with similar comments if Australia did the same to England that we did to Wakefield? There would be uproar and people immediately calling for his head. The fact that other coaches have made the complaint has given Kear an excuse to play down his sides battering and the fact others have expressed this opinion has given him the reasurance that there won't be backlash from the Super League community over his pathetic comments.

Personally, I love this attention we're getting. Wigan are back.

Im loving it too. Weve only played 10 games and people are already flapping.

Dis anyone watch last nights Superleague show. Jason Demetriou was very complimentary on Wigan and their style of play.

if you haven't seen it I'm sure it'll be on BBC i-player.

Top man, really concerned about Amos.

Dont start that, your getting me all excited

Thought he spoke very well generally. Seems a very clued up and even handed summarizer. His comments on O'Loughlin were very revealing, I thought, coming from a fellow player (as opposed to the guff we often get from some fans!)
