Nope. I'd be happy if he came back as head coach though. Signing Jimmy won't make much difference, Macca will be still in charge.

Success? Has he ever won anything?

He meant success in building a great team.

Yes I did.

Any change would need to be a clean break from our past. Pretty sure we dont want him back, I dont think we need him back, and I suspect he wouldn't want to come back either. So thats a No.

We need Wakefield to win at Catalan and if that happens then i think we'll make it but we won't make it to Old Trafford but you can all keep beleiving.

Well he got Wigan out of the bottom of the table. They have had a good dig in the play-offs under his stewardship. I reckons he do better job than Macca tbh

Yes he did, i'd suggest this was his highlight of his time at Wigan (excepting a certain playoff debarcle which was not so much his good coaching but our bad play and Trent Barrett) and it was aided by the lift that any new boss can bring and the signing Dobson and Fielden...did they not then break the cap that year as a direct result of the mid season signings?


Better than us certainly, which has not been too difficult to achieve, but still not close to winning anything. (but yes closer than us before anyone says it)



Might do, might not, I think it might be a closer call than some think for 2010, (in regular season games since they both took charge its 52-49 in wins to Noble over McNamara BTW stat fans) but either way, with the position our club is in I do not think it would be a positive move, IMO of course.

Thats not great on Maccas part seeing as our 06 and 07 squads were far better than Wigans.

I wouldn't say the 07 or 08 squads were that far apart, only in 06 did we have a significantly better squad in my view, and this year wigans is turning out better (and that in itself is an argument against McNamara I realise because its his squad) and ours has been a squad in decline one way or the other since 05....but I get your point.

First result of the weekend goes our way.. as Hull can no longer mathematically make the playoffs.

Now we need Wakey to beat Catalan, KR to beat Warrington and Cas to beat Quins as Cas are pretty much guaranteed their spot as they won't lose to Celtic.

Wakey/Catalans is the major one. That HAS to be a Catalans win, or we've got no chance (since Celtic are not going to beat Cas).

Aside from that, one of Quins or Wire need to lose too, as they play each other next week.

If Quins and Wire both win, or if Catalans win, we're as good as out. If Cas win too, we ARE out.

If Cas lose, but Quins, Wire & Catalans all win, we ARE out.


I'm at Wembley tomorrow for the football, but I'll be keeping a very close eye on the RL scores!

Don't you mean Wakefield win.
