I know the disappointed feeling you must have at the moment as Wire fans we have felt it all too often lately.

But I just wanted to say, I really enjoy coming over to Odsall and always enjoy the banter with the Bradford fans, I was walking out of the game last night on the way back to the car and again had a chat with a few people, win or lose I have always found your fans to be very gratious and friendly.

Thanks for a great night although the win certainly helped and good luck for the rest of the season. I hope that both us and yourselves end up back in the top half of the table soon.

Except...wasn't that a reason why the likes of Big Joe could not stay on? Serious question, cos what I've heard on that has been anecdotal only.

There was a piece in the league express last week or the week before about Morrison wanting a new playing contract. It also said that after that he would also like to stay on in a coaching role as he already had his coaching badges (Australian equivalent of ours) this is where it differs form Joe who didn't have any.

i cant see any reason not to get him signed up for at least another season.

Does anyone know whether Morrison or Menzies have any coaching role in the team at the moment? I know senior players always have an input but more is needed I would say

Yes, but when he is playing he's our most influential player and puts 110% into every game. That extra 10% in each game may make up for the ones he misses through injury.

I'm actually glad about that, we need a clean fresh start.

If there is a change thats exactly whats needed, a completely freash approach. How many other teams, not just in rugby league but in any sport, have internally recruited their manager over a period of 14 years? Not many if any. Its worked for us in the main but I think we've reached the end of that line and a change would be needed.

I'd like to place a bet here and now though that McNamara is still in charge when we go to Saints next week, and will be for the foreseeable future IMHO.

Agreed.
