Cracking appointment. Well out of left field.

More than happy with Beattie.

I'm obviously in the minority when I notice the broken promises then. Fair enough, must be nice to be able to feel good about it all and focus on the positives.

Hope you all enjoy the season. As I said elsewhere, god knows if anyone deserves to enjoy themselves for a season after the crap they've been through, it's Bradford fans. The way I feel about the club lately, I'm not sure I qualify any more.

I'll go crawl back under my rock.

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


Sometimes in your working life you can be more than happy in your job but another opportunity arises which you see as a challenge ( and lets face it Bradford is a challenge) and you really want to have a go at it. That's what JK has done. No different to thousands of other people.

I didn't see this coming a few weeks ago, however its a great signing and I'm sure JK will have no illusions as to what we expect next season.
A few sower grapes on the wake board :lol:
Good Luck JK remember once a Bull always a Bull


What a pathetic individual you are - to a man the Wakey fans have been supportive yet the same Bulls arrogance immediately rears it's ugly head.

I'm almost regretting supporting his decision already :SHHH:

Almost as bad as generalising all Bulls fans as being arrogant. Another totally incorrect statement.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

I have no beef, I have wished him and NewCo well already on this tread. My point is that no individual is bigger than the club, JK put himself before the club so it's the right time for him to go.

I'm sure you read as well as post on the Wakey board. You would therefore know that is not true.
