If a new coach comes in and things improve, then I guess it shows that the coaching going on at the club was poor.

True, but if a new coach doesn't improve things then we'll have just created instability at a time when the club needs it most.

Which is why I don't think the club will make any decisions in haste. I was pretty wound up earlier and would gladly have seen McNamara walk at about 4pm today. Whilst I think I have seen enough to conclude we almost certainly need a change, we need to make the next coach 100% the right one for the club.

You don't seem to be defending him, you just seem to be looking for aswers. Maybe if you don't agree you should put your points across as to why?

FWIW from what i've seen of him he's too lightweight and I don't think i've ever seen him win the collision, his brainfarts (although funny for any non-Bulls) are sometimes so bad they border on the hard to believe and his ill discipline and petulance make him pretty unlikeable from my point of view.

That's why i've formed my opinion.

He doesn't create instability because we can't be relegated. What it does do is bring in somebody new with two thirds of a season left to judge what is required for next year. Now we are out of the cup this year is a write off.

When he started he looked a decent fullback. Since then i've found him highly average. He's fairly solid but he never does anything special.

Actually his occasional screw ups are usually pretty special.

Today's was just a joke. Even if he got the pass away there was two men around Nero. It just wasn't worth it.

Even at the low level i play the coach would murder the fullback whether it came off or not.

Mcnarama looked like a man lost today in his interview. Just can't see the club getting rid of him due to the state the club is in.

Roll on friday 10pm quickly.

I disagree I think Platt realised that we wouldn't be able to keep Catalans out from if we had to drop out.

The drop out was worth a better bet than that stupid attempt at an offload. Basically gave them a try next to the sticks as well.

Platt should be done under the trades description act....no way is he a professional rugby league player!

At Cas Platt was outstanding.

He's clearly made some really bad in-game decisons during his Bulls tenure - however - in my opinion he will turn it back around and when he does, you will have one of the best broken field runners in the league.

I'm just amazed by the people on here who don't see Platt every game and are jumping all over him for 1 mistake. The only thing Platt lacks is composure. He's been improving these last few weeks and I'm hoping that he can continue to improve
