Just watching the Wakefield match for the first time since being there on friday night and again I find myself really impressed by how well Wakefiled perform with a hand - full of class players and some hard workers (sorry if there are any Wakefield fans reading).

When trying to select an ideal manager for Warrington I am not sure Kear would have the trophy winning mentality that I would want but at least we would defend well, make less errors, have better discipline and if we lose we will be able to say at least we tried our hardest.

Indeed. Kear won the Cup twice inside 10 years. We've won it once in 50 years!!

I'm not saying he would be my first choice - but he's a damn sight better than what we've got and he has won the cup twice.

Very unlikely I would think. People would be spitting about lack of ambition if he ever came here.

Kear reached as high a club as he could when he was at hull and they had to get rid to move on to the next level(i.e the Grand final). He is just a much better version of cullen in the sense that he can get the best out of a group of average players. Any club with aspirations of the Grand final does not appoint John Kear. Top bloke though.

What we should have done 2 or 3 years ago was appoint Kear as Cullen's No 2 - I said that then and I still maintain that this was the way forward.

We are currently a training ground for aspiring coaches, must stop !!

Kear is a good coach and a good man manager, especially with younger players who he has always been good at getting the most out of. I would definitely have him at Warrington.

He's always been good at big games and knockout situations, not only did he do the two great cup runs to win Sheffield and Hull Challenge Cups against the odds, he took over Wakefield in situation impossible in 2006 where they had to win 4 from their last 6 or something to stay up, and he did it.

He doesn't seem to work as well with high profile overseas players as he does young British lads though, this happened at Hull with Stephen Kearney and Richard Swain, Hull wanted to give Kearney a coaching job when he retired as a player but he wouldn't work under Kear. Some of these guys seemed to think Kear is more of a media personality than a good coach.

Kear's results when coaching 'lesser' teams speak for themselves.

Agree with Sally regarding working with 'star' players, or those who think of themselves as 'stars'.

That's why I don't think he'd work well for us.

How many 'stars' have we?
How many players think of themselves as 'stars' but aren't?

Not many of the former. A lot of the latter.
