I hope thats not my dad your refering to

Whether we win or lose i always get the impression that the opposition supports the ball carrier better than we do on attack and the oppositions defensive line moves up whilst our defence stands and waits. you dont need top class players to do this , just fit players working for each other . We start at a disadvantage every game because we seem incapable of matching the opposition in the most basic of ways.

I think if anyone needs to go, it;s that idiot who wrote in the Crusaders programme.

JK should not be above criticism for the way we are playing at the moment, after all he is the man in charge. But in no way whatsoever is the answer to get rid off him. He has got us to where we are, and given time will turn things around results wise and performance wise.

And I can say that players never follow game plans for 80mins, it just doesn't happen. But at the mo, we seem to be deviating at vital times and it is costing us. But JK knows that, and will address it.

John Kear learns from his mistakes. I remember how we'd always start the season strongly and then fade away. He and his team adapted and evaluated their training and conditioning. Whilst critical of a few things at the club, some of which may lay at the feet of Kear i do believe given time he'll sort them and gets us back playing some good rugby with the support of the board.

Any coach would struggle with their three best players departing and not being replaced.

Indeed last year the team went on a mini slump mid season before going on to finish the campaign strongly. That was after two season of starting like a house on fire before fading badly towards the end of the campaign.

Now this may be clutching at straws but chances are he is structuring the season as such to start well, lay off mid-season then finishing strongly. No team can maintain a high intensity style all the way through the season and they will suffer a dip in form at some stage.

Leeds have been appalling so far this season (by their standards) but what’s the chances they will be on fire when it matters.

Bump....

Still waiting for the strong finish!!!!!!!!

Cant be d to start a new topic,so thought i would revive the one i started 4 months ago


It panned out pretty much the way i expected,we went from bad to worse.

We can take it as granted that JK has quite clearly lost the plot,the only question that now remains to be answered,is will he retain a modicum of dignity and do the right thing and sod off!!!!

Straw clutching it turned out to be!
