Have we learnt anything this season? : Mon Jul 20, 2009 10:04 am  

From yesterdays game does anybody believe the Team has learnt anything this season? We are told about positives from losses, lessons from losses, what we will do in training, what we will put into practice next time. Has any of that actually happened? Is Steve McNamarra the man that will inspire this Team to victory?
From what I have seen he is unable to provide inspiration, ideas or bring the best out of his Team. He has assembled a Team with limited abilities and cannot provide sufficient inspiration or threats to enable them to win. He has also waited too long to try out the youngsters. He gave a couple of lads e few minutes earlier in the season but clearly they were ready for proper action as can be seen in recent weeks and this showed a lack of faith in these lads.
I'm not calling for his head just pointing out what to me was clear and a lot of people have already said on numerous occasions.
I would like to see changes on the Coaching Staff and for me getting a new Fitness and Conditioning Trainer is critical and I have said this for a long time. A more experienced Assistant Coach is also needed if McNamarra is to stay in charge. Maybe a new Head Coach is the only answer?

From the displays this season, I find it difficult to see how Macca has learned anything from last season. I like you also believe the youngsters have been held back to long this season, and they could have provided inspiration much earlier on in the year. It was clear to see yesterday that they are up to the job, I just wish he would stop wrapping them up in cotton buds so much.

I dont believe he is the coach to take us forward.

I have learnt something from watching Bradford this season.

Go to the games and expect to lose and you'll often be right

On a similar note, I've learned how to really appreciate wins. When we won all the time, it was just another win. If we manage to win this year, I'm feeling good for days.

I have learned that my life can still be fulfilling without going to live matches! and that the whole world does not revolve around rugby league. Thanks Peter and Steve for helping me sort my life out!!

I can't find myself agreeing with that. It's gonna take a hell of a long time for me to ever start thinking that!
