After such a miserable run of form it's not really a shock is it !

JK has never been my favourite Coach but I must say he did a decent enough job for the Bulldogs !

We can have no complaints about the effort and service we received from JK.

Agree with this. The only thing that makes his playing style acceptable is if you win. Losing under Kear is miserable as the style is utterly dull.

Last couple of seasons have been pretty good. Lot's of points scored etc. As l said, l agreed that he did well for and with us, so always pleased he coached us, but the games could be a bit of a grind. I said when Gilmore left he wouldn't be the success he was here because there was no way JK would give him the freedom to play in the way he did at ours.

In my opinion JK did a fantastic job for us. Remember the Grand Final at Leigh against Sheffield?, the play offs where we all went to Headingley and Hull KR with pride?

He took over a team that had been ravaged at the time by the previous coach, and turned it around.

A gentleman and a scholar was JK...in my opinion.
