| Quote J.T="J.T"I agree that the games were interesting under Harbin but I think that was more due to the threat of relegation than the quality of rugby on show. I have to say I found the majority of games last year boring as well but there didn't seem too many people saying it last year. I'm not saying that Kear is the answer but I'd like to see the options before getting rid. That said if we really are on the way out as it seems we might be then I say to hell with it sack Kear and run a raffle on here each week as to who picks the team would certainly liven up the games and maybe even the forum as well!'"
Decent enough idea.... theres a non league football team which is managed in that way if I remember rightly.

| Why are we still discussing this. There is no news, you have made your point, we had a vote and the Kear out crowd are in the minority by a long way.
What more to discuss?

Hmmm! I once saw Kear in a Cas wingers shirt...

Yes, a whole 120 people voted - out of a hardcore support of 4,000-5,000.
Maybe its still an issue because he is still the guy responsible for on field performance and on field performance is still a problem?

Agreed, but same question that always crops up - how many years of immunity did the "great escape" buy Kear?

It doesn’t buy him any immunity, the fact that since his arrival the club have improved year on year until this season provides the grace afforded to Kear in the eyes of some fans.
It may be he has hit a wall as it seems things are not getting better and the players are still making the same mistakes they were at the start of this slump, but in my view his has earned the chance to resolve this.
One thing is for sure we won’t see it this season which is now a write off. Even if the club pull off a victory against Saints they will come back down to earth with a bang against Huddersfield the following week.

My comment was in response to the "game, set & match" one above - it was said as though there was no need for discussion. I agree that the season is almost a right off (but really do hope we are both wrong and we pull something from the bag) - but I differ with you over the steady improvement.
I think we have stagnated for at least 2 years now, we played teams at the right time last year and accumilated points early doors before going on the midseason slump - and showing ourself up in the play offs. We got to the semi final of the cup (through the luckiest draw possible) and again failed to perform.
Kear has brought in the personnel he wanted and for one reason or another we are now in the lurch.... 1 man takes responsobility for on field actions and just as he deserved all the praise in the world after the great escape he deserves to be under the microscope when things continue to go badly.
And don't forget he seems to be throwing his hat into the ring for coaching jobs too, so the loyalty card is questionable - it has to work both ways.
