Well...I bloody told all you Kear slaggers so. All those saying he was a dinosaur, negative, one trip pony, no modern ideas and all the other utter tripe I read about John Kear...a coach who knows how to motivate and how to play the right tactics for the team he has. And the idiots at the time said it was time for him to move on...well I tell you this, if he'd stayed we wouldn't be in the mess we are now. I am going to say this a lot..I TOLD YOU SO!

John Kear is the Sam Allardyce of Rugby League. I have a funny feeling he is going to have the last laugh with Newcastle next weekend. Kear is of a similar ilk. He may well not be a future Leeds or St Helens coach but he sure as hell knows how to get the right results from less gifted players...proves it over and over again and we were stupid to part company with him

Sorry mate, I wasn't aware the situation re the ground was so critical. If that issue can be resolved, life in the Championship isn't too shabby..it's certainly helped re-ignite my passion for my team.

I have no problem with playing in the Championship; there are some tasty looking derbies to be had there. However it's how we find our way there that bothers me. If we play to our strengths, put the effort in and do our best but nevertheless get beaten by better teams then I can live with that. The problem is, we have a fairly talented bunch of players who just aren't doing what they are paid to do, led by by a coach who is clearly out of his depth and won't accept it.

financially we couldn't survive at Belle Vue if championship looms, at this rate with performances like yesterday we can't even survive in super league

what a mess this is become

Do you actually think you're funny?

When Rowley has 2 CCups under his belt (both as underdogs), the greatest escape in SL history and umpteen other achievements then we'll laugh with you not at you.

Im not trying to be funny just stating facts ,I've seen Kear team a lot over the past couple of seasons ,his ideas and tactics are outdated at best,Batley can't play rugby ,they are good at time wasting and spoiling rugby that's all,Kear would take you back to these tactics maybe you would win the odd game but not good to watch.As for Rowls he could be a future England Coach given the chance,when we signed Fui he asked Tom Armstrong how much losing pay was?Armstrong replied , I don't know I've only been here a year.

Whatever Charlie C.
I reckon we've seen him a lot more than you, but either way, it's our club so respect our delusions and jog on.

I have to say I always wanted Kear to stay. I remember at the time saying he was our most valuable employee, over all the players at the time.
Bad decision to let him go and I reckon some of it was that the board at the time listened to the moaners on the terrace.

We need a strong leader behind the scenes like Hetherington was, like her or not, and a good leader in the proverbial dug out, and then a good leader on the field.
In my opinion, the team we have is good enough if you have someone who can lead them and make them play as a team.

Re: John Kear : Mon May 18, 2015 12:32 pm  

I think that the appointment of either 'Kear' or 'Kelly' would not only motivate the players , but motivate those fans staying away and those threatening to do likewise, to get back on board!
