I agree about Hock on him tonight but really I meant straight broken field one on one of the sort that fullbacks make when the line's been broken. He doesn't seem to be able to play his defence as part of the group around him - breaks out of the line, doesn't drift as part of a unit, etc.

Look at our coaching set up its a joke...

McNamara - No experiance what so ever and has nobody to turn to.

Richards - Should be coaching in the Pennine League.

Lee St.Hilaire - Who ? never even made it at super league level as a player.

Defend this garbage.

The guy should just walk and save us the money.

Utter shambles.


Nothing to defend tonight ME (the team didnt so Im not going to bother) we were bad, even with the mitigating circumstances. So you wont get any argument from me defending that tonight, and thats from someone who spend a far bit of time, effort and cash to get over to see that in person. Im feeling pretty cr@p about the situation it has to be said.

However, I'm not going to change my generally positive tendancies because of one more bad result. Ask me again after a few more. but with each performance like that its harder to defend the situation. And as a side thought, how many of these super kids we've signed up for "the Future" are backs? especially half backs? if its none or not many then I dont see the point in waiting.

I will say this however, that we wont save any money - as he wont walk and it would cost us sacking him in that we'd just have to pay two coaches untill the end of the season. And with McNamaras contract up at the end of the year anyway the decision might well be made by the results themselves, I.E. if we carry on losing and showing no improvement the board will not be able to justify offering him a new contract so he will sack himself by default.

So to sum up, I'm still overall positive about my club, but not tonight, not in that performance which was not good enough. I dont think we should sack him tommorrow, but on this evidence he wont get another contract anyway. All too depressing (dont know why I still post :wink: ) So Im off out for a curry now and some (many??) beers with my mates and not talk about the Bulls to try and rescue something from the day. :CHEERS:

I said this last season and was ridiculed. A young coach needs experience behind him not inexperience. If we get rid we need an experienced coach and he needs to bring his own assistants. My money is still with Paul Cullen but if there are any Aussies available then we need to get them here ASAP. I won't hold my breath though as we can't snare the best players I doubt we'll have any luck with the Coaches. One out of left field is something already mentioned, Menzies to stand in until we can find a replacement..............

So, frying pan into fire then?? i dont think so.

But it has to be said that McNamaras best stint coincided with Brian Smiths short stint as "advisor" IIRC.

We are already in the fire.....So I can't see Cullen making it worse. I also can't see Brian Smith coming over. So how many games did we win when Brian Smith was here helping Macca out then? I can't remember....

Have you ever seen him in the same picture as John Pendlebury? Exactly.

I can't see Cullen making it any better either. He failed spectacularly with a squad of accomplished, expensively assembled players. What would he possibly achieve with the mediocrity currently at Bradford?

Still, he may achieve what nobody else has managed. A unified RAB firmly behind a Coach we can all really hate.
