Would love to see what the win/loss % is under Kear because i bet it is the best of most coaches that have been here in a long while. I dont know but John most probably wanted DB and Tronc to stay. He cant prevent these players from leaving. Occasionally i think JKs tactics are a bit puzzling but he cant prevent key players leaving in the way TN, DB and ST have done. IMO JK is the best we have had in 20 odd years if not more. Somethings are not under his control.

Can't believe people are doubting John Kear. Take Tronc, Brough and Newton out of any team and they'd suffer, but remember it was Kear who got them here in the first place. Still the best coach in Super League.

not sure best in SL, best our budget can afford, but i agree....
however the question one must ask is would he be able to come in and do what do what he did in 2006 with his current cohort?
IMO no
