Might be just me but I thought that the ball came off the Catalan players shoulder who was on the floor and got the try (granted he didn't play at it).

Should it have been a knock on?

My initial thoughts were that the Cats player pushed the ball forward along the floor before getting pressure on it. But when you execute panic plays such as Platt did, you deserve to concede a try.

If he does then he is not the right man for the job. To paraphrase Groucho Marx 'I wouldn't want any coach that wants to come here'.

Oh aye, I'm sure the lure of working with this bunch would see him seeking an early release! Would it be wrong to bring back the bloke who got us on the right track in the first place? Isn't Brian Smith available in 2010?

I called it as a knock on by Cats, but after the ruling on the first try, I don't think we were in any position to complain tbh.

It looked like a clear knock on to me, but then so did Sheriffe's try.

Gosh I'm depressed tonight. Part of me hopes that McNamara holds his hands up and says he's given it his best shot but has taken the Bulls as far as he can.

Hood seems to think Macca is the quality coach who can lead us out of this mess. Obviously he sees more than the average fan, but how long can we carry on without seeing evidence of this good work? If Hood does decide a change is needed, it is vital we get the right man this time around. That person may not be immediately available.[/quote]

i think Hood should go, we`ve been a poor club since Caisley gave up.
He strikes me as a skin flint trying to do everything on the cheap.
Don`t think he`l wanna pay Macca out & pay the sort of wages that good coaches want.

Just seen the interview he looks like he's on the green mile to me.

No more excuses left is there. Nice guy stevie but time to get back to what you do best...Coaching Skirlaugh!

Must have my eyes tested becuse i coulkd have sworn it was Platt trying a stupid offload behind the line, how can you blame the coach they stuck to his game plan to race in to a 22 point lead

It was the players making mistakes falling off tackles that cost you the game not Macca
