Same old rubbish I'm afraid, only way we'll get it right is by showing him the door!

Used to love watching you guys on SKY (or the beeb) when you had the Awesome Foursome and some real quality in the three-quarters.

The recruitment policy over past three or four years has been shocking, picking up players from the likes of Wakefield and Huddersfield who may have looked ok but are a pale shadow of their predecessors at your Club. That trend has also continued with the players who have arrived more recently from Quins.

Whoever is responsible for recruitment of players from bottom 4 or 5 Clubs (which these have been whilst you have been signing their players) has turned the Bulls into much the same.

No-one has a devine right to be top four but surely back-to-back losses to Celtic and Salford must have hammered home the need for some sort of change to the powers that be.

Hopefully you will find a way to turn it round, possibly under a new coach who is given the opportunity to bring in some players of his own choice.

Anyway, things could be worse, I'm a Doncaster supporter and we're not sure if we'll have a Club come the end of the season.

Good luck for the remainder of the season.

Thanks for dropping by

Only people within the club will know for sure what is happening at this club right now. We have some players who just do not look up for the fight each week. We have others that are either past it or badly out of form.

If Macca expects us to 'transform' then he has to drop some of the under performers that have let him down so badly. He claims to be supportive of his players.. but some of them need a one way ticket out of this once great club.

Looks like we have two weeks now of players/coaches telling us that they will put it right blah blah blah. The loyal supporters pay good money following this club and all they ask is to see 100% commitment for 80 mins from each player 1-17. I love RL and the Bulls, but right now I'm quite looking forward to not watching that shower next week.

Regardless of the axe that differing posters have to grind / the "I told you so/look at me" posters / the "give it time" et al et al . . . . the sentence you've posted above Bully-Boxer sums it up perfectly, for me.

"Yes" of course we want to be pushing for honors & winning them; regularly turning over the filth

(and now Celtic

) but more than that I want players who have a pride that I, and other Bulls fans, have in the RAB; in the club; it's past great players and aspiring new ones; in it's great history and more importantly, for me, it's future.

Players who turn up, turn out, play pants <because they can't be arrsed>, take the cash and laugh all the way to the bank are not worthy, IMHO, of pulling on the RAB. In doing so they're really sticking two fingers up at the us and everything that is Bradford Bulls. IMHO.

. . . . sorry. Rant over. I've got a hangover.

Hull KR fan with my two-peneth's worth;

The thing I find irritating about McNamara is that although I agree with him that you "will get it right" for a few games, you won't "get it right" for enough games.

Everyone knows that in Super League, anyone can beat anyone else it's just that the top sides do it more often than others.

Th league table doesn't lie and the route of your problem lies in your recruitment and certainly some of the blame lies with McNamara for signing these players but I don't know what money Hood has given him. Even so, if money is limited, then McNamara is not the coach to get you out of your current situation.

I don't have anything against McNamara - I went to the same school as him, it's just my opinion that he doesn't seem to have the overall package as a Super League head coach...

As an outsider looking in (Wakey fan), I`m at a loss as to how Macca has still got a job, I remember when he first took over he said things would improve when he got his "own" players. well, now he has and they`re in a worse position after 3 years "progress", get rid now, would hate to see the Bulls become a laughing stock after all they`ve brought to the game over the years. They look to be replacing Wolves as perennial under-achievers, like Cullen, Macca seems to be able to take good or average players and get them to under-perform on a regular basis.

Every press interview is the same, although I loved the classic a few weeks ago -" A mistake is only a mistake if it`s repeated". No Macca, thats TWO mistakes. Do the decent thing and fall on your sword while you`ve still got some dignity.

aa

Now it's not just us, everybody in RL can see what a joke McNamara is becoming. His time would be up if I were chairman, but i'm not.

Don't you have a supporters group to voice your opinions or something?

I feel that he will be the next coach to get the sack this season. I am not one to knock any club (as a Salford fan and with some of our performances) but Bradford have been absolutely awful every time that I have seen them this season. The players just dont seem to be playing for him.

so show him it wtf is your club run by muppets lol

I think even the strictest of McNamara supporters have got to be starting to get a little bit tired of the same old statements that don't seem to be getting backed up.

I don't know but if it was looking at your avatar maybe your one of them

i can only assume that his post match comments are based on recordings of Jon Sharp at Huddersfield last season

There are definite paralells with Sharpe's record at Hudders. The coach was an assistant to a successful coach but never looked comfortable in the job and players seem to be underperforming.

McNamara confessed he had no idea why we didn't perform versus Celtic so how can he be so sure we can turn things around in the latter half of the season? Last week wasn't the first time he's confessed to being baffled either!

Apart from the fact that under Sharp, Huddersfield improved dramatically both on and off the field, whereas McNamara has virtually buried the Bulls.

When Sharpe was in charge Hudders had one decent run of form but where is he now? Hudders obviously thought he wasn't up to the job.

Agree that we've gone backwards under McNamara.

The remark that made me smile was "we havn`t quite finished teams off"
What that`s a laugh he`s not geting anywhere near some teams let alone finishing them off.

Ive heard it all before.

Not even going to click the link, same old rubbish all the time, plainly had enough now, get rid.

That`s the problem the people (board) upstairs haven`t the bottle to get rid and not just that we don`t have the money to bring anyone in at the monment.

Under Sharp, Huddersfield went from 10th to 5th in the league and average crowds doubled. Under McNamara, Bradford have gone from champions to 13th and average crowds have decreased by 3,000. Huddersfield made more major finals under Sharp than Bradford have under McNamara. It's hardly comparable at all.
