Going on past season at the Bulldogs he strikes me as someone who won't suffer fools gladly and that's what we need IMO McNamara seems too pally with the players.

have you got any proof in this? didnt big joe say in one of his collums that the boss came out and was laying in to them for being crap the other week that doesnt sound like being to pally.

Its one thing being pally and another is to know when to be pally, you cant just be a total nob to your players 24/7. you cannot class a day golfing or a day on Bridlington beach being to pally

I think Jon Sharp could do a good job for Bradford - can't see it happening though. If McNamara is leaving I think the club will try to appoint an Australian as his successor, perhaps someone who is currently an assistant in the NRL.

If the club are sticking with McNamara then they seriously need to do something to show they have a plan or at least some ambition. It's all very well saying "We've signed all these juniors" we NEED something to say "we can still be a force".

I think the best option is a Director of Rugby role being employed at the club.

Yeah. Let's show our appreciation for another dismal performance and send out all the wrong signals.

Super idea.

The bit that surprises me is that you are actually debating the useless prick!!

i'm glad the Bulls are visiting Headingley next, the Bulls are just the right side to play Leeds back into form!!

From what I've seen McNamara is far less pally with the players than Noble was.

Folkes seems to be suffering some foolish performances this year. I'm not convinced by him. They've lost some decent players and results have suffered. Quite similar to the Bulls really.

exactly imagine if we were in the same position as the dogs are with folkes in charge. imagine what some of the burkes on here would be saying.

I sadly couldnt make the game but was we not 22-0 down at half time, a good coach would give them that half time talk and they would come out all guns blazing, did we not do that, we quickly came back and was 22-24 up so he must of said something right,

IMO its the players, i know there maccas signings but lets just wait until what signings are made. we have made 2 good signing so far and one of them is a massive coup in menzies. if they turn out to be total gash signings then i would gladly joing the macca out band wagon.

well said

Well they would not be screaming for McNamara to be sacked for starters.

Bradford should go for Brian Mc Dermott

Or not. I would be amazed if any one of these know-alls bothered to actually travel to the Smoke to support the team.
