Aftyer all he is doing a superb job.

Especially If you are a Leeds, Giants,or Keighley fan etc

I feel sorry for the Bulls, but that made me chuckle.

No dis-respect to Celtic or Salford, but i don't understand how you can go and beat the two top teams in Super League (Saints and Leeds) yet lose to the bottom two

I think we should be looking for a new coach, any other big club would, but why are we not?
I know there's not many great coaches avaliable but someone must be better than Macca to take over.

Winning against Saints & Leeds, was it great confident coaching, or was it lady luck..............


Sitting nice and cosy at the top end of the table, I guess they will have their 'off' days.



Remember we were like that once upon a time

Teams do have their 'off-days' but it still takes a decent performance to beat one of those sides. That's been the problem this year. We havn't been winning against sides we should on paper beat, and even though we are losing, we arn't exactly putting on a good performance, so that the fans can say 'we were beaten by the better team'. There isn't anything more fustrating than your team losing badly, yet winning against very good teams.

Its like their cheating the fans. Playing well when they can be @rsed

I dont think Macnamara can sort it because I dont believe the squad is good enough to be sorted.

To an extent i disagree. Was Jefferies a poor player at Wakey? Were Lynch and Platt poor at Cas? Was Sykes poor at Quins?

Remember, in the infancy of SL, Bradford made taking on players from other clubs and improving on them a cottage industry. Now it's the complete opposite.

I strongly believe that, under the right sort of coach, this squad is good enough for top 3. We haven't got that coach. Simple as.

So you do not think that half backs and backs and squad depth is important

Jeffries was at best inconsistent at Wakey, Lynch was ok and has improved, Platt was poor with a bit of potential but has gone backwards and Sykes was average.

The problem is they were brought in to replace the likes of Pryce, Paul, Anderson, Withers and Hape who were better players. When you add in the likes of Tupou (to replace Vainikolo) and Scruton (to replace Vagana) you can see why we're much lower in the table.

Our recruitment has been poor and top players have been replaced with average or poorer ones.

time is running out for macca im afraid. If we dont make the play-offs (which is looking very likely) then he has to go IMO. give him til the end of the season, wee if he meets his promises, if not get rid. I hope I am wrong and we go unbeaten now until the end of the season and we beat leeds 50-0 in the grand final with menzies gettin man of steel, and worrincy getting top try scorer.

If we dont make the 8 - get rid
If we make the 8 and no progression in the play offs - get rid
If we win GF - maybe keep!
