Quote: trinfan71 "Yes losing the three players did have a massive influence, but they were not all lost together and to be fair the option was there to make two of them stay and honour their contracts. The board decided it was a good move for Brough to go and Kear is on the board.'"
I have no idea who was behind the Brough deal depends which story you believe but nobody knows for sure. As I've said before if Kear made no attempt to keep him and actively wanted rid then he deserves everything he gets but I have no evidence to suggest this is the truth.
Quote: trinfan71 "As far as Sheffield goes you can't honestly believe them beating Wigan at Wembley wasn't an over-achievement.'"
I think it was a great achievement for them, Kear and Rugby League in general and I have no desire to belittle that achievement because Wakey have had a poor season under Kear.
Quote: trinfan71 "I haven't in my post advocated the removal of Kear or replacing Beans with a cheap replacement. I have simply stated in response to the original post on this thread that you cannot expect to shake things up by leaving the major player in place.'"
I didn't say you had I was referring to the traditional Wakey way of promoting the number two as the cheap option.
Quote: trinfan71 "As for the dressing room remark, I never said anything about losing the dressing room at Wakefield. It was well documented player power had an influence on his departure from Hull.'"
No you didn't but it has been mentioned that Kear has lost the dressing room at Wakey just pointing out he wouldn't be the first.
Quote: trinfan71 "How do you Kear is the best option available??? How many Huddersfield fans first thought of Nathan Brown or Wigan fans thought of Michael Maguire as the right men to coach their clubs???'"
If I thought for one minute that the board had a quality young Aussie coach lined up then I'd pay for Kear's taxi myself. The fact that they had lined Jimmy Lowes up before they went for Kear suggests otherwise. I don't know if Kear is the best option I'd just rather back him until a name is linked or put forward officially that makes me think we would be taking a step forward.
