There's nothing like long term thinking.

BTW, where did you get 'losing the dressing room' from? Ceefax?

I didn't see the game or listen to it. I did see Wakey, without their recognised half backs, slaughter Wire. They've also done it against Salford and Wigan. That is down to coaching and spirit.

By a coach who has widely been derided at several points in his coaching career. Jus' sayin'...

Bring back Terry Holmes, he'll turn it around

Just a hunch TBH, but a likely scenario. It appears that Newton does not want to try, Halley is farmed off elsewhere whilst a lesser player(s) plays, Jeffries will have his nose out of joint after the great handling of the Bird case.

TBF, I get more right about McNamara's failings than I get wrong don't I?

Within the confides of your imagination, absolutely.

Is that it? Nothing positive to say about the coach?

After all, if he is to make ten games then he will need all the support he can get from his band of followers. This thread presents a great opportunity for some positivity to come out.

Results of the last year since my original campaign against him suggest otherwise do they not?

TBH Andrew, whilst your continued defence of your great mate Steven is admirable, I doubt too many people share your confidence. As much as you may wish to argue otherwise, I suspect that most people are seeing that we are becoming a laughing stock.

It interests me that you suggest that it is in my imagination when you consider that there are plenty on here today STILL questioning his tactical nous. Despite strong words in the media from McNamara, he is either doing nothing to resolve the problems, or he is incapable of actually doing so. I reckon it is the latter TBH.

You see Eddie, your problem is that ten games for you is an unbearable length of time to go without a certain level of onfield success. You were on here sniping twenty minutes into the Hull KR game! This is a club that has been going in one form or another since 1863, longer than the game itself. It's been the Treble Champs and it's been rock bottom of the professional league. It currently is in the doldrums relative to the most successful ten years in its history, but there is a clear strategy for improving matters - youth development and the OSV. Both will take time, and do little to satisfy yourself and those likeminded in the interim. But that doesn't stop them from being the way to go.
