No way they are just poor man versions of Kear. I would go with your second option, I'm afraid it probably has to be an Aussie with someone like Drury as a guide.

I know naff all about coaching the game at senior level but what really frustrates me is that, in virtually every game this season, even when we've played really badly and/or have been seriously tonked, we usually have a 10 or 15 minute period where we throw the ball around, back up, off load and generally play good rugby league. When we play like that we often score and are certainly entertaining. Then we go back to the same old one out, head down, up the jumper stuff for 5 (if we're lucky) tackles followed by a crap kick and chase. We have absolutely nothing to lose so why doesn't Kear give the lads a bit of slack and let them play the rugby we know they can play? Yes they'll do something stupid, make wrong decisions, drop the ball etc but. as I say we've got nothing to lose. I'll go to the ends of the earth to watch them ('though I didn't go to HKR - that's asking too much!) and don't mind seeing them lose if they've had a go. But what we're seeing most of the time at the moment is boring, dull, predicatable, poor rugby. Surely it's Kear's job to rectify this and he doesn't show any signs of being able or willing to do so.
I've always liked Kear and respected him (though that was tested with the catalans business) but he doesn't appear to be doing his job and I now think it's time for him to go (but please don't ask me who I'd replace him with).

in virtually all drubbings, the losing side has a good 10-20 minute spell. it's not unique to us in our present form. this applies in the non-pro game too.

As I say, I know sweet FA about it but why does this happen? Surely , if they can do it for 10 to 20 minutes, they can do it for 40 minutes, 60 minutes, 80 minutes?
I realise that if you're playing a better side with better players they'll find ways of dealing with the threat but that doesn't mean you stop trying to play inventive rugby. Clearly th etactics we're using aren't working but we persevere with them and manage to make poor or average teams eg Quins, HKR Crusaders, Salford look like world champs.

Does he fancy taking over for the next few games. Give him a can of fosters and tell him to get a shrimp on the barby and suddenly his credentials will be there for all to see.

yes but we also dont expect teams like HKR to get 70 could have being 84 if they kicked goals

Cant believe he is still here !

What about Steve Georgallis? Former Wakey player, doing a decent job in the NRL - was interviewed for Salford job so obviously up for a head coach job over here.

Just taken over at Penrith... BIG step down from Penrith Panthers to Wakefield Wildcats !

Said in the RLE that he was only caretaker and hadn't got the full time gig.

Judging by their performance on Saturday, he should get it... they looked a new team !

Ivan Cleary has got the job

So what do you reckon then - He is available and seems to have the right credentials.

Its a from me.

Not the only one to put in for the salford job from what i understand
