The former Castleford player explains how the likes of Mal Reilly, John Sheridan and Phil Larder proved influential, and why his first head coach role at Bramley proved the perfect grounding for him.

Plus, Kear talks about what it is like coaching Wales, as well as giving his views on how to increase youth participation in rugby league and his assessment of recent rule changes.
