If the above options were available in true Wakey style we'd go for the cheap opton of one of the March twins

Hasn't Millward got a clause in the contract that lets him go if a SL club want him? Would take him or Cullen, possibly Powell at a push.

A&E at pinderfields must be chockablock this morning with all the kneecaps that have jerked out of position. some folk want to get a grip . if there is a changing off the guard then kear upstairs and beans to have a crack with JD as assistant.

Some knee jerk reactions maybe.

personally, i documented my opinion some weeks ago.Its just taken others a few weeks to see it.

Unfortunately we don't have the luxury of letting a new coach cut his teeth, we need somebody with a proven track record, Millward the man with several grand finals under his belt (and more importantly likely to be available) has got to be considered as a solution to our ongoing problem.

And for your reference, seen as you apparently struggle with the meaning:

=#0000FFknee-jerk (nē'jûrk')
[iadj. Slang[/i

Easily predictable; automatic: "quick, easy laughs and knee-jerk responses" (New York).

Reacting spontaneously in the expected manner: a knee-jerk cynic.

We've been pathetic since before Easter, and more and more people are getting sick of it and (most) discussing it in a reasonable and constructive manner after. 6 matches or so with let down after let down on and off the field, it can hardly be considered "Knee-jerk"

He's a trier and always has been, and that's a free pass with a large section of the crowd.

knee jerk-six defeats,woeful performences,crazy team selections,lack of ideas,no win a round the corner,and he as lost the dressing room

So we sack kear? Who we going to get?? We've been through a spell like this before and come out of it!

millward
harrison
powell
cullen
or even an assistent coach from down under they seem to come over and do jobs for over sl teams

you say we come through this before maybe true last year we looked liked we had lost the plot at one point but got back to winning ways,but i fear this could be like two years ago when we lost 11 out of last 12,we cant keep him cos he kept us up 5 years ago a change is needed

I know you mods try to keep things positive and you generally do a sterling job of it, but its the nature of the performances that is the concern not the losses.

I feel you need fresh ideas, not more of the same. The last thing you need to become is a jobs for the boys club (although it is certainly an issue at the moment in my opinion at the club).

Said it before, Kear has earned the time to sort this out and not just because of six games four years ago. The club are on a different level to what they were before he arrived. We've had three years of steady progression. So this season may end up being a write off. So what. Thats how sport goes sometimes.

The team are well and truely out of form and it's down to Kear to sort it out. You only have to look at last year so see that he can do this. Look at Quins. A few weeks ago they were awful yet they get a few troops back, win a game and appear to be a completely different team.

There were opportunities last night a team with a win or two behind them would've taken and ultimately won the match. However, this team is low on confidence therefore they rush the chances they get making a mess of them. A coach can't make allowances for knock on's, messing up the play of the ball and crazy passes.

I've said this on more than one occasion and been slagged off for my troubles but "John Kear is a brilliant technical coach, what he is not and never will be is a head coach".

He may be able to inspire a team for a select few games, he appears unable to manage a side consistently throughout a season. When he was No. 2 to Bomber at Hull, we played some of our best rugby, entertaining while still being able to defend well. I even went so far as to tell Bomber that Kear was his best ever signing.

People will point to our 2005 Wembley success but that was simply two great matches. After that we went backwards (and seem to have been going backwards ever since). John needs to have an honest word with himself and accept the fact that Assistant Coach is probably his best position. I never really bought into the "Kear factor" theory but after seeing it unfold in front of my eyes, I'm now a convert.
