thank god itl soon be over bye john xx

They are with the cas fans where ever that is.

Agree 100% btw

Mopsey get a grip. Best we can do with what we have; in fact much better than we could hope for with what we have. Anyone not seein that is not with the programme I'm afraid.
John Kear; the best coach we have had since Ken Traill!!!

Think Ray Batten fits nicely between these two.

Siege mentality!

since Ken Traill

we have had Peter Fox, Ian Brooke, Ray Batten, Dave Topliss, Andy Kelly and Shane McNally who warrant acknowledgement of their skills.

Unlimited supply on here mate thats for sure.


He seems to be enjoying the game again.

Have always said it and will say it again. Kear is the best "signing" we have made in a long time. Easily our most valuable asset at the club.
Priceless!

As one of the JK detractors, I have read with interest the comments on here with a wry smile. Last year when we were on that horendous run under JK it was the JK sympathisers who were quiet other than to say the standard "theres no one better" "Kear saved us in 2006" etc.. whereas at least some of us detractors tried to put a reasoned argument together about why were were not happy with JK.

I have kept quiet this season because the effort of the lads on the field has been simply outstanding. However, having felt the need to defend my views after reading some of the comments on here, I would ask you all to consider that it is the sheer effort and never say die attidude of the boys that is winning us games. We are still coming up short in a number of basic areas of the game - these areas are ones that the coach should be addressing - but we still see most of the same things week in week out.

As for JK's motivation skills, I am not so sure this season is down to them or otherwise how do you explain the debacle of 2/3 of last season? IMO its quite simple. The lads we have now want to play for each other and do their best for the club - whereas last seasons squad had a number of players who didn't.

Final point lets not forget the Leeds game with the selection of Vievers and Wildie on the bench with neither being used until after an hour (when the game was over and Vievers introduction meaning a load of positional changes).

I would also bet that Kear has the lowest salary cap to play with also.

What he is doing this season, just shows what a good coach he is, this is his situation caoching the underdogs, he is without doubt the best coach in SL for one off games.

7000 is another great crowd, that along with the the Englsih players that you are bringing through and most importantly the fact that you aren't bottom of the league is the reason why you should still be in SL next season.

Bring back P&R.

I still think you might get saved by a team going out of buisness.

Would agree with a lot of what you say. The effort, typified by both Murphy's and Davey's tries, has won games for Trinity rather than any sort tactics/coaching. I think hes possibly the best option now with his motivational skills (us against the world approach) but I can't see any attacking structures in place which often results in poor last tackle plays and a lack of options for the halves, who are not the best in the first place.

I am a big supporter of J.K,i think he's doing a great job under the problems surrounding the club,as for his critics,put a name in the frame who you would replace him with,that's if anybody would take the job as regards the team,they are playing out of their skins ,all teams need a leader J.K is ours.
