I agree, if he'd just signed the NRL dream team for last year then we wouldn't be in this mess! Is he thick or something?

not one for mr mopsey, but im really gettin bored of watchin wakey play... its just becoming mind numbing..

and i am judgeing wakey over the last 15 games, not the 1st 8 ...

how do u think we are playing... what wud u change...

Glorified water boy - get a grip Willie and Franny have run that club for the last 3 years and every man and his dog knows that!

Great up and coming coach - give him a chance!!

A number of players are not up to scratch and we are playing some pretty dire rugby league. However this could be said for all but a very small number of seasons over the last 20 years. Thing is is there any real evidence that anybody else would be any better or be able to sign any better players? History says not as Kear has produced better league finishes and a better cup run than pretty much every coach in the last 20 years. If there is someone out there who wants to coach us has a proven track record of getting results in SL or better standard on a shoe string budget then I am more than happy to see Kear walk. What I don't want is Kear to go to be replaced by Broadbent because he's the cheapest option or poching because he's a really nice guy and used to play for us.

I dont think anyone can argue that without JK we would have been in the Championship - but thats where kear is at is best 6 games to go, written off by everyone and he comes up with the goods.

Over the last 2 seasons we have puched well above our weight however we have had players who can win us games. Whilst JK has been unlucky this season with the loss of Newton, Tronc and the dubious sale of Brough after already losing some big name players from last seasons team I think the players are now looking like they need a change.

I think JK has taken us as far as he can and done a great job - however when our form is that up and down and players seem to be struggling for motivation and desire you have to question JK's position and the book does stop with him. If we do win this weekend this only highlights this even further!!!

Also, recently the opposition seems to be outsmarting us and non more so that Sunday - that second half Kear had no idea how to change things and the players looked even more clueless. Plus we are also starting to play a brand of rugby that is seriously boring and seems to be getting worse and worse.

Time for a change - I can sense a big willie coming our way...

Not the fact hes been assistant coach at the League champions for the past 3 seasons, will bring a winning fresh culture to the club and along with Franny has basically run the Rhinos at first team level.

If this is true why are the Rhinos getting rid of the two people who have masterminded their triple winning team? Also it's alright winning trophies on the back of 17,000+ crowds and money to have provern international quality players in most positions but it's a bit different with no money and only able to sign cast offs and gambling on those who have gone off the rails.

Really? Why is McClennan in a job and those two leaving?

This thread is comedy gold.

I you have nothing sensible to add to the topic don't bother.

From what iv heard they are a bit fed up at Leeds with certain ppl ie Barrie Mcdermott being Head of Youth and is never there at the club due to TV commitments, Bluey is difficult to work with and also they feel they are ready to step upto first team head coach.

Do you honestly think Leeds would get rid of them otherwise?? Theres a bigger picture going on behind the scenes at Leeds at the moment. You only have to look at their stuttering academy at present ie conceding 90+ points at warrington.

Im also not denying they have money and international players through the board but even so they must be doing something right to win it 3 years on the bounce. I also dont distpute the fact that being Head Coach at wakey on a budget and wheeling and dealing is totally different. However, young coaches of this calibre (you can include Francis Cummings in this too) are not flying round at the moment.

If Kear was to go either Franny or Willie would be my first choice to replace him.

I class myself as one of the get Kear out crowd. 2 wins in the last 13, pee poor rugby and the fact that he is clearly trying to find another job are the simple reasons - He has done well for us in the past and has made a reasonable living out of his time with us - the relationship is no longing working to either parties benefit and therefore a termination is the only solution

We are being told that the club cannot attract decent players cos of the uncertainty over the franchise - so far the players we are linked with are distinctly average and/or unproven at SL level

hes never beat a fellow sl team in knock out rugby while at trinity so he can thank his cup run to lick of draw and nothing else

Did'nt we beat Salford in 2008

Don't think they were a SL side at the time
