I feel its the right time for a change and i'm glad both parties have come to an amicable decision.

An old playing mate of JE if I remember correctly.
I don't think he's the answer, I'm going to join the NGB4C club and say it needs to be someone from the NRL, new ideas needed!

We have had approximately 20 applications, which includes some decent candidates from Aus, so if he gets the job I will be gobsmacked. Where ever Kear has been, he always does well for the first couple of years, then tails off.

Thanks for applying Mr Kear, but on this occasion you have been unsuccessfull (hope this is the gist of the letter he will be getting in the post!!)

Though they might wait until after tomorrows game to announce it but its the right decision. He has been a good coach for us but the time had come for a change. I thank him and wish him all the best.

Hope the Agar rumour isn't true though!

thought agar signed a 3 year extension with hull in 2010?

Thanks for everything but...

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS !!!

I heard you were getting Iestyn Harris

Going to Leeds as assitant apparently

Thanks Mr K But I do think this is the right move.I hope the rest are going also Does this mean Senior won't be signing

Imo none of the English coaches around are any good I think our best intrests are in looking overseas. Steve Georgallis anyone? Please please not Agar or Harris!

I'll never forget what he did for us and I'll be forever grateful but its time for a change. Best of luck John and you go with my best wishes.

I'm afraid I think we need to look to the NRL for a young hungry coach along the lines of Steve Georgalis.

I do not want Mr. Kear at Cas.

That was quick, Lol, I was only joking Vasty!!!

Glad he's gone though, love his comments that he kept us up and the credible semi-final. The relegation battle we strongly relied on other sides and the run to the semi was easy and we didn't have the confidence once we got there due to a poor coach.

Bring on Poching and JD!!!

Not yet he isn't, I'm going nowhere

Best of luck to JK as has been said that's a fairly dignified exit - not sacked is more than most coaches manage.

Although Kears staying until the end of the season I'd like to see him take a back seat and let Tony have a go - can't hurt.

Thanks for the last 5 years John.
