Let's not forget that Kear brought his team here last year and went away with the two points and deservedly so.
This year his team weren't at the races.
Wigan scored in their first set of 6 and were 12 up in 8 mins.
It must have seemed a very long 80 minutes for John Kear.
Although Wigan were 32-0 up at half time Kear must have been bored rigid by the efforts of his Wakefield defence.

I didn't expect Wigan to so comprehensively outplay Wakefield, especially given the very hard game we had two days earlier. So Heaven knows what Kear was expecting. Perhaps he was in mild shock, or something. That might explain his less than complimentary comments.

Quote: Cruncher "I've said several times before that I respect John Kear, but, however his after-match comments were intended, they sounded very churlish.

I always held him in much higher esteem than the likes of Potter and Matterson, who never seem short of a few excuses, but to hear him chunnering about maybe needing to change the rules puts him firmly back in the 'RL cliche' category.

I mean, some people really need to think before they speak. Wigan are looking very good, so the RFL have to change the rules to even things up ... AGAIN!!!

Surely some of these guys have got a bit more pride than that?

Mind you, why would they have? The last time they whinged like this, the rules were changed.'"


I agree.

The problem here seems to be their is a growing number of the "RL family" who are scared to death that Wigan are going to reclimb the mountain through simple good management. This is bringing about a level of bitterness that is going to far outweigh anything Maurice did with regards making us successful or breaking the salary cap.

We're already experiencing it, so imagine if we actually start winning trophies?

It would see the club put under pressure from all sides, notably the clubs and the two nodding idiots on sky. IL set out with an idea and as it develops it seems to be pushing the club towards the tree at a stunning pace.

People like Potter who are seeing his "all star" team age and break up, are fast realising that his success story with Catalan mean nothing with "superstars" like Jon Wilkin as his front line of attack, so naturally his instinct is to want the team at the top dealt with by rule changes. Stunning really.

They'll probably wait 'til they get to court, and then invent something on the spur of the moment like "it's not in the spirit of the play-the-ball".

10 Games of the season have gone. I think a few on here are getting ever so slightly carried away!

We really need someone from the RL to come out and say that Wigan are playing within the rules. If we ever want to challenge the Aussies at International level we need to rid ourselves of Sky's obsession with super quick play the balls and easy yards from dummy half and get back to the days of old in which halfback play was the key to unlocking defences. The NRL sorted the issue out 10 years ago when they announed rule changes to stop attacking players from going to ground to easily in order to steal easy yards at the next PTB but we don't seem to have cottoned on yet, probably as I say because of the obsession from our paymasters with a lightning fast product with hardly any skill or guile involved.
If I wanted to watch the ball travelling the full length of the pitch with little effort or invention I would watch basketball. Likewise with scorelines of 48-44 and sides scoring at will every time they have the ball.

So you'd disagree that the difference between Wigan this year and last year is enormous?

The common factor between Kear and Agar is that Kear had 54 put past his team where as Agar only had 48 put past his lot.
It's not the Wigan defence that's the problem between these two but their own defences.
Perhaps they should sort out their own problems before starting on about Wigan.
Potter mentioned that Wigan were not playing to the "spirit" of the game.
This, as the salary cap proved, is the rule which only applies to Wigan.
The RFL confirmed Wigan didn't break the rules on the SC but they deducted points on the "spirit of the cap" garbage.
Potter, in a radio interview, admitted Wigan are not breaking the rules so let's see how this one turns out!
