IMO it's down to a lack of impact players coming off the bench in a number of games this season meaning we cannot maintain high intensity for 80mins. That can be attributed to injuries, recruitment and selection mistakes depending on the game.

I'd also add that in many games where we've appeared to run out of steam our completion rate was very poor.

Oddly enough, I am still waiting on an answer. Always quick to throw out the insults Blotto. Shame you have no ability to justify them.

What Mac clearly needs to do is move, here to Benidorm, or Scotland, and never see us play. That way maybe he too would get to know all the answers

Benidorm. Classy.



However, you being there clearly has not helped YOU get the answers has it?



Then again, you are in the right place being by the sea. Plenty of sand for you to bury your head in.....

Try to be calm there McSporran, did I touch a wee nerve there?



I can confirm that I do indeed now have all the answers.

Oh and sorry to be the one to point it out but your sand metaphor, like most of your theories, is based on a popular fallacy and bears no relation to the facts

I thought Macca was pretty honest in this article and despite looking carefully have failed to spot any excuses offered.
I am glad to read that he is to work on mental strength during the off season as that is what I have missed all season. We seem to lack the discipline to really close out a game when we are well in the lead as well as to find a way ti win close games.

Yeah - and he also says this.....



Oh yeah?

Never questioned officials and decisions then? Never bemoaned injuries and bad luck?

Hmm.

You love 'im

There is certainly more chance of me sending him a Valentine Card than there is of him sending me a Christmas one.

Can't help feeling that if McNamara doesn't get it right in the first half of next year that the spectre of a certain world cup winning coach (fingers crossed) looking for a club to coach will be looming large.

Would you want Smith regardless of Macca's performance anyway?

Discuss............

Gee, would I want a coach who turned a bridesmaid outfit like leeds into champions. Hmmm

i'd imagine its a defintite possiblity and if macca hasnt ironed out some of weaknesses in squad by the middle of the season then I'd imagine board will consider it and rightly so. However I think steve deserves at least till mid season before any decision is made and until then he should be supported.

Warrington have covered all bases by only handing Jimmy a one year deal<how appropriate>



I'm sure that Smith would also love the job at the Bulls, but depending on the financial constraints at the Bulls, will Smith be tempted by Morans money?

Can't be bothered to chase up references on PAB, but wasn't there a view on there a little while ago that Lowes was just keeping the coaching seat warm until Smith became available?

Sorry for the double post elsewhere on here replying to similar topic but:

That would be good, but if McNamara can hack it i'd rather have him as he is younger and it would be better to have him for a long time. If by the middle of next season we are still under achieving then we should look into it.

tony smith threads. Mcbanana threads. It appears that more people are seeing sense. Not long left now mr m. Unless of course you hit the ground running next season.

What if we finish 1st next season??

Then he will be presented with the champions trophy by elvis and king henry the eighth. And he will then wake up too.

And Sheriffe will be top try scorer too!!

Well the 2009 squad is McNamara's. He's no excuse that he's still playing with the poor signings of the previous coach any more.

Not that it'll make a difference.

Have you not read this thread?

1st I tell you!!!

The foundations are being laid at warrington for smith to takeover there after his england deal runs out!
It started with lowes only getting a 1 year deal and continued when they signed our acadamy director john bastien

Wires seem convinced he'll be there in time for the start of the 2010 season.
