| Quote cod'ead="cod'ead"It's Kear.
I've been a fan of John Kear since he first started coaching Cas 'A' team. He is one of the best technical coaches this game has ever seen. He knows the laws of the game inside out (unlike many of his contemporaries), he also knows the strengths and weaknesses of all players in Superleague.
What he is not is a manager, head coach or whatever you want to call it.
John Kear is probably the best assistant coach that any team could wish for. What he and any employer needs to accept is that fact. He should never be given absolute control'"
Who is this? Tony Smith? Bloody short memory, who coached you and Sheffield to C.Cup?

| Quote RDM="RDM"I think the fans (and certainly the shareholders) deserve to know what these "full details" are. Aside from the difference in Brough & Kirmond's wages I don't think we'll have got more than £15k to £20k as a fee. In a season where our year end position is so important I cannot think of ANY reason why we should have let our main source of creativity go before the season was over.
At the moment it seems we're sacrificing the SL future of this club beyond the end of next season for the sake of a few grand.
ANSWERS ARE NEEDED & NOW!!!!!'"
Well your miles out mate. we got a great deal with Brough and he had to go,the trouble is like I have said everywhere else we replaced him with a stiff (Cooke).
We also need an hooker by the way.

True and it was the space he created for the other players as well as the support play he did which this team have forgotten how to do.

| Quote Doratheexplorer="Doratheexplorer"
the team he built in preseason has been decemated bacause:
Brough wanted more money, fair enough got a family to look after
Troncs family was unhappy and Newton was stupid.
How can that be JKs fault, he is left with a squad of a average players, too old players and some good players not firing or not in key positions'"
Nail on the head! Kear built a good team, which is all the more frustrating. We were playing some brilliant rugby but i don't think you can blame him for Brough, Newton and Tronc leaving. Cooke is a stop gap in my opinion and whilst not ideal, i'd suggest it would be hard to find a quality halve at this point in the season.
I think Turfed summed it up best though, we have an average squad now, but what we can't accept as a fan is a lack of motivation and work ethic. It's not all the players, but we need it addressing asap and it's upto the coach to instill it within the players.
That said sacking Kear isn't the option imo

I'm not much of a statto, but I'll wager that his win to game ratio at wakey is better than any other SL coach with a comparable salary cap spend, and better than a lot with higher spend!!!
That to me makes him a quality coach and asset to our club.
Where he is, in my mind up for some slinging is the disasterous decision re : broughy!!
The money this club has trousered this season needs to be spent on a suitable brough replacement, because we are in great need.

| People say we have been left with an average squad following the departures, but on paper the squad we have is better than Harlequins yet they can score points and good rugby league trys as well
Some blame for the current boring tactics have to go to the coaching staff

| People seem to be forgetting,that Kear is part of the football committee that sanction comings and goings.
The players we have are Kears.
Kear signed the likes of Johnson,extended Demetrious contract,thought Obst was worthy of a quota spot,brought back Ben Jeffries,thought Paul Cooke would replace Brough.
Kear coaches the team,Kear should be motivating the team.
Kear is the man responsible,whether people like it or not,for our on the field performances.The book stops with him and at this moment that book should be thrown at him.
