Not even bothered about a s**g after coming home from watching that

Agreed.

I don't think Kear is the problem. I think the problems are coming from higher up. I'd be interested to see what would have happened if Eric France and Steve Ferres had been allowed to join the board a couple of years back.

I dread to think.

Teds never going to sell up He would have to support all the family to start with cos none of them would get jobs anywhere else,

Lets swap - Matterson for Kear?

Frying pan to fire springs to mind with that suggestion

Depends which version everyone listens to I suppose , we should have got a scrum half for Brough end of

Johnson has been unlucky so how can you criticise that one, who would you have in place of JD, Cooke, BJ , Obst ? Would you keep Latu ?

I wholey agree with this. They should have had a replacement lined up before he went, grave error of judgement.
Regards getting a new coach, JK can stay where he is, these players have shown us what they can do!
They're just showing that they cant/wont do it every week which is not good enough!

Don't blame Kear he's doing his best with his hands tied behind his back. The board in my opinion are fully responsible. This team has gone backwards 7 years in 7 weeks. Five drives and a bomb to corner against an injury ravaged team!!! Diabolical! You just cannot win a game without quality halves. Cooke is a total waste of skin, why Kear keeps bigging him up is beyond belief. Drew and Brough ripped these apart last season now where are they?? Demetriou is doing more harm than good now although you can't fault his effort and commitment he must call it a day. A top half back is a must and who are we looking at bringing in Stosic??? Why?? Fans are dropping like flies at Belle Vue/Hearwell and today's shambles is another nail in the coffin of our next franchise bid.

Feline,i was questioning the signing or extending contracts of these players,which Kear played his part in.
This is Kears team,not one that he has inherited and they are playing without desire or motivation.Even supporters from other teams have commented tonight how uninterested our players looked.
Everyone seems to say that we have limited resources and Kear does a good job with whats at his disposal and in the past he may well have.Unfortunately i feel that we have now reached a crossroads with Kear,in that our on field performances are reflecting just how limited our resources are.On current form i would think we are pretty much facing finishing in the bottom two,as i just cant see were another win would come from.The recent performances that have been served up,dont indicate Kear is working on just limited resources,but performances that are akin to the lowest budget in the league.

But these are Kears tactics.

You say dont blame Kear and then question why Kear keeps "bigging"him up.

I would suggest because Kear has lost the plot.

This is a brutal situation for Kear - how do you legislate for losing three players, one of whom you have built a squad around, two of whom were signed to strengthen. The hard yards are harder to come by without a Tronc (or Stosic). Our halves struggle without that same platform, not least when none of those halves are natural scrum halves, a huge hole left by Danny Brough. Our hands were tied with Brough; we did the right thing to let him go but we didn't get like for like as payment which was never going to happen anyway. Who could we sign at this part of the year? But that leaves us without a quality kicking game and the nous to get over the line. Creativity and pace are suddenly gone. Cooke? He's been poor. Never a Brough replacement though, and was never meant to be. Obst, Jeffries and Cooke are faced with responsibility that doesn't suit their games. The revolving door must be crippling to confidence in the camp.

It's helped less when you have all the field position to win a game several times over and keep dropping the ball or executing passes and kicks poorly. That's not Kear's fault. He has so few options left. For probably the only time I'll agree with NGB4C that we need a scrum half and a prop to give us some stability and attacking edge but I fail to see where they'll come from at this point in time...

I have read some rubbish on this site, but that takes the cake
