LOL.

what about around the ankles? What about ankle taps? The list goes on and on and on - it's bloody ludicrous.

Some of these reactions on this board are insensitive and slightly embarrassing. John Kear is only trying to reclaim his prestigious crown from last year. Something that as a Wigan fan I can sympathise with as we're hoping to retain our title.

A valiant attempt Mr Kear, but you must do better I'm afraid.

Why don't we just allow one person to make a tackle, and maybe have a piece of cloth hanging off the shorts so when it's ripped off, the tackle is complete? That way, there'll never be another injury in SL. I can't see the Aussies being able to beat us at this....................

STANDING LEG ???????????????
does that mean you cant tackle somebody whos standing up?

Well Mr Kear, thanks for the motivation for Wakefield v Wigan, think your guys will know all about tackling after this game.
Mr Bitter not worth a comment.

HAHAHAHAHA Gary Schofield

We really did spoil his master plan and he as never got over it

bless

1 really bad thing is going to happen next season. We will get more of Kear on tv and radio as he wont be coaching in SL when Wakey get kicked out. Feel sorry for the fans but Kear is nothng more than an average coach thats why hes always coached mid to bottom of the table sides.

In sl by the time you have made a tackle and are getting set they are coming straight back at you so in that time you can think were you are going to tackle the guy and think i'm going to end his season

John Kear has made a career off one game, whilst Garry Schofield has less medals than Wire players FFS!!

I wouldn't worry too much.

I think that is a little bit harsh.

He won the 1998 challenge cup final but then repeated that success at Hull in 2005. He kept Wakefield from relegation and has taken them to the play-offs and also to a challenge cup semi-final with limited resources.

We won't petal.

John Kear has a well respected reputation within SL of motivating less than average players.

And the Garry Schofield you were so dismissive about...... is it the same guy, who had captained both his club and country, and at his retirement from playing had a record equalling 46 caps for GB?

Could it be the same Schofield who re-wrote the record books by scoring four tries as Great Britain beat New Zealand in the second Test series at..... eerm, Central Park, Wigan in 1985?

Possibley the very same chappy that the Australian legend Brett Kenny meant, when in 2010 was asked who was the best British player he had ever encountered on a RL pitch replied,....... Garry Schofield!

Maybe you know another Garry, eh?

Do try and keep up sailor, we were discussing his playing career, not his less than successful periods after he quit.

Anyways, isn't it time you packed your sea sick pills and set sail for the Med?
