He gets players fired up for big games, that is Kears talent...

I have never seen anything from any team he has coached to convince me he is good tactically as a coach.

Is it wrong that that ALWAYS makes me laugh

I hope we hunt like a pack of angry dogs

Kear says something that upsets you, fine have a go at Kear but why drag the club into it. Fact is there are worse clubs in SL then us but the franchise criteria will be manipulated to ensure the RFL have who they want in SL.

Crusaders are probably the only one I would let go ahead of you. I think the administration at the start of the season has blown it for you.

If you judge on all facets of the criteria and not just expansion and Stadia, then we would also IMO be ahead of Quins and Salford

Quins yes, Salford - not sure.

IMO we stack up quite nicely against Salford

Crowds - Us

Fianances - Them if judged on the past regime (which I suppose it has to be ala Widnes)

Contribution on the field - Us (higher average place finish)

Junior Development - Us

Community Programme - Us

Marketing - Us

Stadiums - Them (but is it going to affect their crowds been outside of Salford)

Also bear in mind that we have won the same amount of games this season as Salford, who have spent alot more on their squad then we currently do.

Honest to god for such a big successful club you really have an inferiority complex.

Kears aim is to tell it as he sees it and if it upsets so be it. Is it personal, probably and so what, maybe you should be a little less precious.

One thing I'm absolutely certain about is that it had absolutely nothing to do with last years wins over us. I also doubt a single Wigan player ever gave it a second thought.

In fact if there is one Coach who is good at using negative comments to his own benefit it's Kear. But then Kear hasn't got a team of internationals so maybe you'd expect it to be of more use in those circumstances. If you lot are going to cry like babies because of a few Kear unflattering comments then I'm glad you don't support Wakey else you'd be suicidal, the amount of crass ill founded abuse we have to take. Come on, get over it and enjoy the game.

How do you know that regards the community and marketing?

Incredible and pathetic all at once - well done.

Two CCups and the only Coach in SL to have attained the top coaching badge. The blokes forgotten more about RL than fools like you will ever know, jog on.

True, how do you know?
