If you're referring to his interview shortly before kick-off, he said he would bet that one of the two teams involved would kick-on and finish in the top four. He then went on to say Bradford would win tonight.

Note Tony Smith's observation right at the end, though.'" Sorry but I don't give a rats ass about that. Our esteemed coach was quoted in the T&A as saying how surprised he was in how well we had recovered physically after the 2 games in 3 days.

| I don't think Glenn Morrison or Paul Deacon enjoyed being constantly asked why they were backing our current and useless coach as they walked up and down the steps.
I guess Morrisson didn't like it too much either when told he was fecked if he was learning to coach under Macca.

| Just a bit of info -
Ben Jeffries is third on try assists in the league, can't be bad.
Newton is top of runs from dummy half in the league, good or bad?

| I was somewhat dissapointed by the Bulls performance tonight, individually (with some few exceptions), as a team, its motivational preparation , lack of defensive structure and attacking capability.
Rather sweeping critisisms that should, I feel, be acknowledged by the coaches and management, with them offering a detailed explanation of their plan to put them right.
The time for platinuduous excuses has overrun its course.
I did not Boo my club's players and did not leave before the end as IMO that would be counterproductive.
Others felt that they needed to express their opinions in these ways and I can understand that.
Tonight was a sad time for me - a long term ardent supporter of the club that I trully love. But, Its MY club and I'll continue to support it as I have always done. I can offer no rational explanation for this other than perhaps a tribal comfort.
There will be better days and maybe worse days but i'll be watching MY team.

You're an idiot, your club has finally got a few wins under it's belt. You'd think you had won the GF. Remind me, what have you won since the start of the SL era?

Cullen was never a legend when he played.
He was never class just a hard stopping centre.
Agreed though he rescued Wire and took us as far as he could.
McNamara has inherited a club used to winning Grand Finals which is the difference.

| Been thinking about that debacle we had the misfortune to watch earlier (Wire fans will see it slightly differently, of course!).
Think about it:
What have Bulls done so many bloody times this season? As soon as the opposition turn on the pressure and we make a daft mistake and waver, our confidence seems to go and our defence collapses.
How many times have we seen that?
Same tonight. More of the sodding same.
How so?
Well the difference today (and at the Piedome) was that the other lot piled on the pressure right from the off, and we screwed up right from the off. So the collapse came right from the off.
Didn't it?
It wasn't a new or even a worsening problem tonight; it was the same old problem.
Something is badly badly wrong in the players' mindset - can't be any other explanation? And that's something that's down to the coach to rectify. And he has very little time. If any time at all.

And that's why McNamara's comments on Sporting Life are so strange. Is he taking all the fans for idiots because that's the feeling I get.
