Funny that, according to fans of just about every other club he was sh*te when he actually was in charge at Odsal.

Except the one who succeeded him.

Nearly as funny as all the people who think McNamara is doing a good job.

Hey, we've signed some good schoolboys, what's the problem?

. . . and that will help us how exactly?

And before you go off on a little rant I'm:-

NOT defending SM.

NOT having a pop at you, rather your post.

NOT condoning how we're playing.

NOT one of those half naked "[ilady[/i friends" on your sig link.



NOT happy about being where we are in the table.

NOT Mystic Eddie . . .. .



. . . . I simply subscribe to the old adage that if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. . . . and [iwe CAN fail far more than we are doing at the moment[/i.

. . . . . . . . IMO (and that's all it is) doing what you suggest would put us even more firmly on that road . . . . . .

Despite lack of quality players in some positions this year it's becoming clear that Macca lacks whatever it is that makes a Super League coach. Man mangement, technical coaching, game tactics, team organisation, motivational skills or whatever it takes and has not improved in his tenure over 2+ seasons.
But I do not subsribe to throwing the baby out with the bath water.

But how much longer can this go on before something has to be done. All of next season the season after.

No one seems to think it is a good thing.

But we wouldn't be "change for change's sake". We'd be changing because the current coach isn't good enough.

Worrying, isn't it.

One would hope that the club (or rather the "[ibusiness[/i"icon_wink.gif would, within whatever constrains exist that we as fans are not privy to, are/have some vision in place <fail to plan / plan to fail> to improve the current position.

If not, isn't that where all the bile and vitriol should be being directed?

fanny cummins

Agreed McNamara needs to go and so to does Peter Hood !

Right and you know somebody who is willing to invest their time and efforts and has the abilities to run a SL club do you? I am sure Hood would gladly hand over the reigns if your replacement has the funds to take the club further than he could.

Jesus we have some nobs on here.

I'm working on it

. World domination will soon be upon me.

Hood is useless in the 2 years that he as been at the club he forced Noble out and appointed Steve McNarmara. As for SM he makes some of the most average signings ever and he CAN'T coach I can see us getting a Hiding on friday

Poor result today, even taking into account all our injuries. If we miss out on the play-offs I think McNamara is going to rapidly run out of supporters. He's got plenty of detractors as it is and finishing outside the six would be very poor.

I fear more of the same next year unless some quality is recruited.

As for a replacement I wouldn't touch Folkes or McRae. As for the likes of Sharpe and Cullen you have to be joking.

However if we miss out on the six I wouldn't be surprised to see us linked with the Bulls old boys out there.

As for the poster asking for Hood to quit I just wonder where a new chairman would come from. The Board has diminished in size too much in recent years and new blood seems reluctant to join.

I'm not a Bulls fan but someone should make him watch the Michael Vaughan press conference and hopefully make him see that sometimes you have to 'die on your sword' with dignity for the benefit of the team.

He's had plenty of time now to mould his own team/ideas and clearly its not working.He brought in his own new transfers this season (plenty of them) with mixed results.

Time to hand over the baton me thinks.

p.s As bad as you are,Leeds are there for the taking at the moment so a win on Friday and you might all be on here bragging about getting to Old Trafford from 5th/6th

I'd take Steve Folkes over anyone else.

Really? The Bulldogs have been awful this year.

Going on past season at the Bulldogs he strikes me as someone who won't suffer fools gladly and that's what we need IMO McNamara seems too pally with the players.

From what I've seen McNamara is far less pally with the players than Noble was.

Folkes seems to be suffering some foolish performances this year. I'm not convinced by him. They've lost some decent players and results have suffered. Quite similar to the Bulls really.

It depends if your one of his favorites.

TBF all coaches have them.

But according to a big prop it causes a little strife at times.

It always does. But Nobby had is faves and there was grumbling about that.

As always if a coach is successful this gets ignored but if he's not it becomes a big deal. I'm not convinced it's a problem.
