I'm pretty much sure any coach can offer more than the current 5 drives/scoots and a kick, but I don't want us to sack Kear at this time but only for Kear to mix it up a bit, maybe play catch up rugby for once that involves short kick-offs. Get the creative players taking the line on more, Cooke and Obst looked quite dangerous when they eventually tried a sidestep this aft.

I'm a fan of Kear's but even the biggest of admirers has to be critical of his bench selection, the lack of stability in the team (moving players around constantly through the game), the lack of progress with our defence and the Brough/Cooke debacle.

1 win from 8 (possibly 9 if you included the Quins cup game) and today we were so far apart from Wigan it was frightening. I'd like to see Kear stay and get us back on track but i have to admit i'm slightly worried about the direction we're heading at the minute

I have to say that I think its a sad indication that the English coaches are being left behind by the Aussies. Its probably no real fault of their own, simply the Aussies are exposed to so much more information and detail about the game than our guys.

still think kear is the man for us

for me kear has to go now we shouldnt keep a coach because of what he did/done in past only on present,he takes all the plaudits when winning so he as to take blame when losing, one win in 8 says it all its the same rubbish week in week out we dont seem to improve on anything that we where poor on the week before ie last week dropping the ball all the time was worse than last week which i thought was impossible,at times he makes stupid team selections (our best forward at 6)forever playing players at different postions week in week out,then we read that he his looking at players like penny and whealdon when we are desprate for a scrum half.
jk as done brilliant for the club but its now time to end his time here,
with the likes of harrison(doing a great job at batley)millward and powell as possible replacments

That old chestnut This is a forum not an annual review with one of my employees,i dont need to be constructive. Oh and by the way, I suggested someone months ago. viewtopic.php?f=33&t=454378&start=15 Ive backed my reasons up plenty of times with examples of Kears poor coaching and why i feel he should go.Why dont you try suggesting some valid reasons why he should stay,other than the pi$$ poor excuse that gets trotted out every time --- "Well who would replace him blah,blah,blah.",normally closely followed by "he saved us from relegation". Oh and my particular favourite is "we couldnt afford anyone as good as Kear",that one always makes me chuckle -- as it suggests that JK is on peanuts.

There is only so far a coach can take a team

When kear took over you men you looked really good playing some good rugby now it's far to inconsistent but if he does go whos going to come in?

There is already 3 coaches going at the end of the season but no replacments

Trinity really do remind me of Wigan in the latter days of Brian Noble, I have to say I think it is time for some fresh ideas at the club.

Agree.

Too many players appear to have stood still or gone backwards this season.Prime example - Dale Ferguson.

Like many others,i think JK has done a sterling job in his time at the club,but his coaching methods are out of sync with the current game.

the words "silk purse" and "sow's lug" spring to mind

All those who are criticising the 'half-back' pairing, who would you have selected??
How many half-backs were available for selection yesterday?

I guess in desperation Morrison was selected as a solid and reliable player who could at least block up the ruck area defensively.

Do we have any accomplished tactical kickers available? Obst can do it in a supporting/part-time basis but doesn't have the skills to be the 'go to' kicker.

a very fragile team confidence (based on a good win against Quins and a decent performance against Leeds) was shattered by errors at the start of the game.
If we'd got an early lead like last week it may have been different ??

i hear what you say but with kear being probably the most astute coach in my time as a fan its a bit daunting thinking of any one else.
