OK. Thanks for your positive response. Any rugby league positive response?

Yes of course. I'll be getting one but I won't be buying one

You'll not find many bitter wakey fans at all. Most were happy to have him and wanted him to stay, but if he's not interest in buying into the ethos at Wakey then it's probably the right time for him to go. I wish him and NewCo success, it's going to be a big ask for him

As a fellow Wakefield supporter can I say that's a load of ballcocks. He was one of the creators of the ethos we now have at Trinity, along with Chris Chester, Michael Carter and others.

It's more like full time coaching at the World Cup gave him 'an itch', and the Bradford job was the opportunity to scratch it. Good luck to him, he's been great for Wakefield in his two spells at the club.

Now then mate, hope you are very well.
I think it's great news Kear has joined us.
I'm looking forward to watching the Trinity on alternate Sunday's at the Wembley of the north, always a better option than going to Dewsbury. I look forward to seeing you mate

One what? Positive RL attitude?

Re: John Kear : Tue Dec 12, 2017 8:37 pm  

I think this is the best appointment you could possibly have made. Gutted that he’s leaving again, but I wish him well.

I also think he help to restore the reputation of the club after the going ons of the last few years.

So he helped to create it, but has no interest in continuing it. Either way, it's definitely the right time for him to go. It tells you a lot that they're not looking to replace him with another head of rugby, they're looking to replace him with an assistant coach

On Leigh Beattie been assistant, can I say I know of one player who is very happy with that. Got nothing but good things to say about him

Which I guess is worth more than any negative fans opinion

I think it's been a decent day to be a Bulls fan for once

I'm pleased it's Beattie.

For various reasons, loyalty to the employees has been at a premium at our club for the last few years.

This sends a great message via a guy that has really pitched in and given his all.

It tells you even more that we offered him a contract extension when the Bradford interest became apparent.
