Reading the full quote, im not sure if Kear is actually having a go at us
I think he says the crowd only got going in the second half which was true to be fair, after all wernt we 18 up after 15mins, Wakefield hardly made any impact in the first half.
He is also complimentary in saying we walloped them and strangled the life out of them, I can only recall a few pens for lying on (Coley twice when will he learn)

A little embarrassing and petty of Kear to make those comments, for a guy who seems so honest and likable on TV, he hasn't half made himself look like a twerp.

This is the full statement....
Quote Sharpy_4aWakefield coach John Kear: "We were poor. You just have to look at the scoreboard and you don't have to be a technical genius to realise they walloped us. They choked the life out of us and completely controlled the first half so good on them. They were superb, they strangled us out of the game, but if I want to watch four or five men in a ruck or a maul, I'd rather go to Twickenham. The game is cyclical and we're seeing what the Australian game went through two or three years ago. They went to two referees to sort out the rucks and as a game we need to look at our philosophy. We might have to change the way things are refereed. What we saw today certainly wouldn't excite me – it's like watching paint dry. (The atmosphere) was like a cathedral. It got exciting in the second half when we made it a bit of a contest and the Wigan crowd enjoyed that."'" |

It was less than 600.
Night games are always miles better at our place.

Fwiw thought wigan completely outclassed us today and played really entertaining rugby. Unfortunately, it was over as a contest after 20 mins and although we were far from our best we got beat by a very classy side. Good luck for the rest of your season, and hope Amos makes a speedy recovery.

I'm so puzzled by teams complaining about three man tackles ruining the game. If you teach your players to offload there's a huge gap to be exploited.

With regards to Kear's comments about the quiet atmosphere I think there were a few reasons:
1. In my opinion you now get much better atmospheres at night matches in comparison to the traditional 3pm kick-off.
2. It was a case of after the Lord Mayors show after Friday, how on Earth was today ever going to match up to our win at KR.
3. The obvious bad injury to Amos must have been a downer for a majority of the crowd.
4. Most importantly, Wakefield never even made a game of it to get the crowd energised. So I'd suggest getting their own house in order before pointing the finger elsewhere.

| I've lost all respect for John Kear after reading his post-match comments and what was apparently said to two substitutes.
Talk about bitter   |
