What's people's thoughts,personally hope the Kiwis win as they have tried to play with flair where we are doing 5 drives and a kick and to cap it all he goes and picks the world beater that is Matty Smith who hasn't even been the best scrum half this year just goes to show that Macbannana is completely clueless.

If thats your genuine view, then you are a clown and you opitomise why RL is still a minority sport.

Why would you want the national team of your preferred sport to lose?

If you really think its been just 5 drives and a kick you are not watching the games in full. Yet you choose to focus on the negative elements

There is not wonder RL is in a shocking state with this type of attitude

Completely agree...why on earth would you want England to lose this? Pathetic points scoring non agenda.

Baldy at his clueless best.

Matty Smith....man of the match.

Haha Smith had a stormer. Imagine what the best 7 in the comp could have done!

Got nervous towards the end, but what a result for rugby in this country. Good job Luke can't kick!

entertaining game and good result.
matty smith mom BUT
is there a better british scrum half in super league?
is there a better organiser?
is there a better kicker?
is there a quicker runner?
is there a quicker thinker?
cant think of one
oh just a minute
what about danny brough
whatever macnamaras problem it needs sorting
smith did a good job today but dont think he is the answer long term

.. can't see a nearly 33 year old Brough being a long term answer either.

Well I saw very little entertaining rugby,1st test was very rusty,2nd test bloody awful and slightly better in 3rd test,Yes Smith worked but he isn't the answer at all and yes we had injuries but so did the kiwis.I have done internationals to death when we was GB and England but believe we haven't kicked on from the semi final defeat to NZ and we wasn't any better down under last yr,it doesn't matter what my attitude is and we are a minority sport,I hate to say it but we are,our governing body couldn't organise the proverbial.We just don't get the coverage our great game deserves.

Wow....clueless because I don't rate McNamara or Smith.I better not say what I think to our coach or some players as I would be completely clueless.

Yet I bet you would take defeats for FC to get rid of Radford?

I wanted Luke gale to play yesterday but I believe Matty smith did a great job. McNamara deserves a new contract. Before anyone asks why I think that or back it up with evidence or based on what grounds etc etc - it's because we won the ing series and he got tactics and squad selection bang on in the 3rd test

macnamara needs a 20 year contract which specifically stops him from being a SL coach unless it's at rovers.

We haven't got the quality of players to beat oz or nz when it matters so keep him with England and make sure he can never be our head coach

This time last year you might I said Radford deserved 6 games at the start of 2015, if then we were poor he should go.

The fact is, it's not my decision, and he is still in charge. It would be counter productive to want my team to lose. I want my team to win irrespective of who is sat in the dug out or in the 13 on the field of play.

For 2016 there can be no excuses for team performance. This IS Radfords team, he has had 2 years of hard lessons. Either he has learned from those years and we progress or a change would be absolutely necessary.

I will support the team, and at the moment as there is not going to be a change of coach imminently, I will support the coach as well. I have the right to voice my discontent if things go wrong, but I recognise there are better teams in the league (on paper). My view is that we needed to have won at least 5 of our first 8 games, bearing in mind who we play in that period. Any thing less than this and I think a change would be the best for all parties concerned.

Totally agree with all those points,there was a point last season when we actually looked a bloody good team culminating in the Rovers battering,Widnes away,wire away but then we dropped off for some reason.

McNamara is as bad a coach as Radford, quite possibly even worse, the sooner he does one the better the England set up will be on so many different fronts. He yet again picked players based on what club they play for, yet again had a poor game plan, yet again had no idea on how to play the opposition, played not to lose last week rather than trying to play to win, the guy is inept.
Sure we beat NZ in a home series but jesus they were flaky and missing some talent in the halves. We have gifted players but he simply cannot utilise those players and come up with a plan to play to win games that matter. We got lucky on Saturday, if we were to play ANY side Australia might put out we would have got battered, the week before even more so despite some creditable defence.

What a bizarre post to make after we've won the series, you really do revel in negativity. Are you a little unfulfilled in your personal life? Maybe a 'Sack McNamara' petition could help ease the pain?

it would seem that it is you that have issues with your home life, are you crying out for help, do you need some contact numbers to reach out to someone that will get you through your crisis? I'm not sure why you feel the need to ask me for help (as disguised as it is) but I can point you toward the right people to sort you out if you're that desperate?


Am I glad we won the series, of course, there are some very exciting, very talented players that can & do match up to the best that NZ and Australia have to offer (aside from the halves sadly). However there are players that were left out/not played that had proven to be far better in their positions than what went on the field but he ignored them. The 2nd game was devoid of any idea in attack, it looked like we had no game plan whatsoever except to stop them from scoring and barge our way through the middle, it was horrible stuff despite the endeavors in defence.
With McNamara in charge we won't progress, he's a second rate coach that won't/can't get the best out of what we have.
