well said mate. only an idiot would get shut of kear a month before they announce the franchise. don't see what all the whining is about. we knew what was going to happen this season. think we have done a lot better than a lot expected. thought up till half time we were doing ok. ref didn't help. we have just got to keep plugging away with what we have got.

Sorry but your deluded if you think Kear is going to make a difference to our franchise bid. Its about the next 3 years from 2012 and his contract is up at the end of this season and if the club have any sense he won't be here for the next franchise period.

I can just imagine the RFL announcement now sorry Crusaders/Quins/Salford/Cas (delete as appropriate) your out of SL cos Wakefield stuck with John Kear and we and Sky like him.

Your comments and those of others are part of the problem IMO. The coaching staff and the players are having excuses for not performing/winning handed to them on a plate. We as fans, whilst respectful of the effort that the team puts in should be challenging them and the coaching staff to improve - Kear said we would be better by round 27 than we were at the start of the season but we seem to be going backwards of late.

your dreaming KEAR OUT NOW.....

and you are delude if you think changing the coach is going to make any difference . he would stlll have a young largely inexperienced squad with a few old stages. at this stage of the season there is no white knights with magic wands who is going to pull a top scrum half, stand off and hooker out of a top hat and if kear was to who would you get ? and who would come ?. we knew at the beginning of the season with the squad and the crap that had happened we would have a lot of these days. certain people on here said we wouldn't win a game and that we would be getting 70 past us didn't they? i can understand some of your criticisms and you are probably right with most but at this stage of the season it aint gonna happen so the best we can do is get behind what we have got and enjoy the good days. there won't be many.

What we have is what we have, but surely the sign of a good coach is to play with the cards dealt..... ?

We've gone from an hard working bunch of players to don't carers in the space of 6 weeks... how?

I don't mind losing or even getting battered by 50 as long as we know we tried and gave everything.... in recent weeks this has not been the case and that's what really upsets me ...

Today was poor, massive improvement urgently needed

I agree... we have been happy enough to accept defeats if we see effort and commitment..

I haven't last 2 weeks... and with the unacceptable changes in personnel its frustrating.

Kear said we'd be better round 27 than now.. I can't see that being the case and if it isn't then he has written his own resignation as that was his target and he wouldn't have achieved it.

If we pull off another SL licence, then we need to look for an Aussie assistant who can bring modern methods, conditioning techniques and attitudes to the club - he should also be allowed to clean house and get rid of some of the backroom staff who are nicking a wage. Perhaps add a young British assistant, and put together a succession plan that sees the Head Coach exit at the end of his contract and the assistant step up.

If we go down, then I guess we're looking at a cheaper option - an existing Championship coach who can be tempted away, with maybe JD or Morro somewhere in the mix.

Either way, for mine JK needs to go at the end of this season.

To be fair though, the current squad are youngsters and tryers, I mean how good can it get? Yes it's tedious and some of the selection choices are frankly bizarre, however I think with the squad we've got we couldn't have expected much more than where we are now.

Give me a good reason why Powell would leave Fev for Wakey?

Err bigger club?

i must agree get rid now and put ................ermmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Have been told Kear is working to rule at the moment due to Glover not wanting to talk about a contract renewal. I can't fault either though. Glover can't go paying out Kear a Superleague salary if we are not going to be in Superleague. However i can't really blame Kear as he has done some hard work at the club and is looking after his future.

i could of sworn work to rule meant WIN FFS

I would expect Glover to be telling Kear there is no contract next season whichever league we are in - its time for a change. I would then expect Kear to concentrate on doing the best he can for the remainder of the season whilst his agent sorts him out with another job.

Seems to me there is a change in the attitude of the team the last few weeks and the effort we have applauded previously even in defeat is lacking somewhat (as a team - certain individuals are still putting 100% in). If there is a problem between Kear and the players then it needs to be addressed asap.

If this is the case, i would be gently reminding him, that he was quite happy to terminate the contract he currently has to go to the south of france.
