If he is going to go at the end of the season when his contract is up then that is fair enough. He has done a very good job for us and although i would like him to stay because i think he is the best coach available to the club, if he does leave at the end of the season it would be with my best wishes.

Fair enough. Jump ship were wrong choice of words. But the point remains. How can Kear ask a player to come to Trinity when he's looking to move on? He has no faith the club are going to get a license so why should any potential player. Just a shame this didn't come out after the license decision.

Mine also however I would hope that he doesn't take anything until franchise decision time. That said if we have full cap next year then that would open up coaching options.

See your point. If he is looking at options fair enough but I would hope that nothing is announced or signed until franchise time.

The team need to remain 100% focused as looking at fixtures and the table a couple of wins and we could be knocking on the door of playoffs and quarters of challenge cup. It's a key time right now for how this season will pan out.

He made great crisps!

I can see the sensationalist headlines in the sun now...

not a troll im a wakefield fan and if u was reading last nights article which was in the paper and not one from the 10th of may u might get some where

Damm we need this licence we cant be having this rubbish RFL should take a long look at themselves. Kear got to think about his familly but its not fair on us after we have been doing so well. Why is everyone and everything trying to spoil our harmony and great team spirit. IT really gets on my WICK !!!

nothing about it anywhere else online, not even the the salford rumour board??? and thats all this is, a worthless rumour just like we are signing gareth ellis and craig gower.
still im not sure they want an english coach, seem hell bent on aussies at the willows

Lock it and delete it.

If his contract is up in the near future then its fair enough and only natural.

Not sure threads like this need to be locked and deleted as they fizzle out themselves as this one is as more contributors add their points of view of which most people think its a non story really. Kind of self regulating.

Maybe player coach

I concur with u on this....

We'll only have a full salary cap that means anything in SL.
If we dont get a franchise we'll be able to spend over the top of NL1, but I dont think JK is a league 1 coach.

What is it with people,putting 2&2 together and coming up with 5.when we are trying to get some stability in the club crap like this is thrown about.stop searching for a cheap story,we all know J.K is a outstanding coach and could coach any super league team so to say he will jump ship is not what we want to hear ,let's focus on the season ahead .....As you can tell I'm annoyed by the post.

Hasn't he applied for every head coaching job going in SL the last 2 years? I tell you what something like this thread might cause the club to release a statement saying 'Kear is staying put, he's in it for the long haul' and that might make the unit even stronger.

Dont you do take aways, 2&2 is not a take away

no one on this forum will get this, only me and you, plus Fat Lad at the Back

Should read "no one on this planet" will get this

Your not wrong

To be honest though, should we get removed to the lower league, then is a 5 drives + kick specialist really what we need?

I'd suggest that we'd have one of the biggest budgets in the league and Kear's tactics could well prove a bit of a leveller in the lower divisions, in much the same way that it is a leveller in SL but in reverse.

Don't get me wrong, I am a fully paid up member of the J.K. Fan Club, but thinking logically, im not sure if he'd be the coach i'd choose to lead us, should we get the chop.

It’s high time the Muppets who run SL made an announcement ref Super League licences for the next 3 years.
It’s not fair on the players coaching staff, backroom staff, the clubs or the fans it’s a complete bloody farce

If true can anybody blame JK?

And JK would go with my best wishes too...and licensing is a nightmare and WRONG. But what can you do? We have an entire season of a sport reduced to a rumour mill, guessing game and beauty contest. How did this great sport come to this?
