This thread is just ridiculous, John Kear is as safe as McGuire at Wigan, Smith at Warrington, Brown at Hudds etc...
To even contemplate the subject, let alone start a discussion about it, is just poor in the extreme!
John Kear has been great for the club, leaving aside the Million pound survival match, he has brought us a measure of success on a pityfull budget, he's overseen the revamp and medernisation of our backroom proceedures, he's improved our youth policy's and systems and so on..
When JK decides he's had enough of being a coach, I fully expect him to move upstairs where he can continue to steer the football side of the business in the same professional and dignifed manner that has become his trademark.'"
Spot on mate,from what I've seen this loss of form is down to the players and the lack of doing the basics correctly,you could excuse a lack of form due to Brough and a few players coming in and out,but you cannot excuse the lack of fight,drive and enthusiasm of Pro Rugby League players.
With the odd exception they don't seem to be able to tackle,run hard with the ball,back the ball runner up,kick chase,kick full stop all the basics never mind dummy runners actually looking like they are going to take the ball as well as attacking moves.
The one big thing I've noticed is with the odd exception our imports have been very poor.In my mind the idea of imports is they should be some of the better players in a side and we just haven't seen that.
