As we are all counting, I've been watching for 35 years now (admittedly I was young at the start?!?! and followed home and away for many seasons)
JK is the best I have seen. We have good and bad times, and coaches but I have never seen a coach so influencial on the team and individual players.

To talk of getting rid if we don't make the playoffs is rediculous. Any season we don't finish bottom is good as far as our budget is concerned.
The fact that we have been 1 away from bottom for a long time in Super League was good but since JK has arrived we have been argueing over which playoff place we should have. Get some perspecive man!

You say now we have to win 3 to get playoff place. I would agree. So as that's perfctly possible.....why not join the rst of us and just support them while they attempt to do it!?

Good for you for posting that. I agree. I look forward to a rematch in the playoffs

Given the respective home performances, I hope the match is at Wheldon Road.

Not read all the posts in detail but to suggest we show Kear the door if we dont make the play offs is madness.

I can probalbly top most on here as I have watched us for 45 years (yes I'm an old sod) and I've seen good times and many bad. In the good times we has good support, money and good players and were successful. Since then we've struggled particularly financially and John Kear taking into account our limited finances (probably the lowest wage bill in SL) is the best coach I've seen at Belle Vue.

We have progressed, we can match the best in SL but not on a regular basis, thats we we are an average side and not a good side (Leeds, Saints being good). To be a good side we need to spend the full cap and be on a level playing field with the rest. That will only come with a new ground and hopefully increased income so we will have to be patient.

I think we are pulling together a good team for 2010, okay there will be departures but the signs look good to me.

As Mutts says "IN KEAR WE TRUST" - lets stop this talk of P45's.

Oh and by the way, who'd be on the wing outside Atkins - might as well bring a deck chair and a book - no wonder Side Show has gone, probably looking to reintroduce himself to a ball as he hever saw one whilst he was here.

Doctor always posts sense.

Well done today mate - Heaven knows I'm miserable now.

very well said mate. jk has worked miracles with what he has to work with, both on and off the field. speak to any of the players and they will tell you. i do agree with what he says about playing players out of position, but as far as kear is concerned , the best thing that has happened to wakey.

was next to JK in the coaching box today and was stunned to see and hear his reaction to the game, Grix needs to be in the middle, and when he subbed and then brought Drew back on he had too many players who he wanted to chance there arm.

I think emotion got the better of Kear today.

what do you mean , too many wanted to chance their arm john?

Wait for the usual vitriol from the all seeing eye that is Vasty........

Kears orders to Beans was get so and so on to chance his arm, with about 20 left.

He took Drew off then brought him back on much to Drews disgust, then when it went tits up was slinging his water about at the wndow, never seen Kear lose it like that, in my opinion he got too involved emotionally today.

I didn't think he came on when Wakey lost. If Wakey win and Cas lose, he is happy, if Ferguson scores and Westerman plays crap, he is creaming in his pants.

see what you mean john. thought it was strange when i saw drew come off and then 2 mins later back on
