Ep 24 Super League 360
Super League 360’s back, Lee and John are here
But the sport is not the same without John Kear
He loved the game and it shone through
As a man, as a coach and in the commentary box too
He coached England, France, Hull FC and Wales.
But the cup win for Sheffield is the pick of all the tales.
So many players he gave their first starts
A coach and a life that touched many hearts
Rest in Peace John Kear who tragically passed away suddenly on Sunday 31 May

Coach the PERSON, not just the player
A bonus podcast for Ashes Rugby League Podcast listeners!
We tend to coach players that are younger than us, and there are a lot of misconceptions about younger generations; that they don't have work ethics and that we can't administer standards in our coaching.
This podcast hits hard with the reality of this situation and great advice for coaches.
Lee also addresses his recent criticisms of Australia half, Nathan Cleary, and has a message for the haters!
