I think McNamara is a lot better than people on here give him credit for.

Thought he looked much improved this year in his few games. Still plenty of improvement to come from him but still very young.

Agreed. Last year he was poor in a side playing very badly. This year with our dominant middles he looked so much better.

Is there any news on his injury? Having him and Hookem competing for the 7 shirt could be good for the team.

Hodgson said he was 3-4 weeks away I think.

Think I read something similar. He's not match fit and still around a month away

Finger crossed. My back has been 4 weeks away from recovery for 30 years.

Think he would be surprised to read that he is retired, seen as though he is still scoring and assisting most of Sheffield's tries this year!

He is retiring at the end of the season though!

Also, sometimes it is a players choice not to be full time, and turn down advances of SL clubs - especially if their day job is pretty lucrative and a SL contract wouldn't match it

Apologies to him. I could’ve sworn, I read he was going at the end of last season, Sheffield were keen for him to go again this season, they must have changed his mind.

O don't think people would mind Hodgson if we had shown progress under him, but I don't think we are any better than under Radford.

Makes the same mistakes and won't drop or rest certain players.

His comment about Hookem not trained in the halfs, you would think with our halfbsck situation he would have done a couple of sessions there eve if the play was to play him hooker.

Fully expect Johnstone to play at 7 against Leeds too.

It isnt just a few games either.

If we don't win either of the next two games that's the play offs gone and that's not good enough with the cap we spend.

I believe it was pre season when i posted BH see's Hookem as a number nine and was shouted down by yourself and you insisted you had spoken to Hull's coaches who assured you i was wrong. You stated he would play more games at first team level as a scrum half in 2022. To date he has played every game while on loan as a hooker and it looks like he was scheduled to play part of the Warrington game in this position as well but then needed to fill in as a half back due to injury and as BH stated he hadn't been training in the half back position. If he fails to shine in Hull's first team i could see him make himself a decent living as a top championship hooker to be honest.

Every 4 weeks or so you post the same thing, you have no way of knowing Hodgsons thoughts, he was playing hooker because we had Gale and Whitehavem have decent halfbacks and no hooker, that's why they have signed Robb from Cas.

The facts are he has played 2 games for the first team both for Hull as a halfback and looks likely to play their on Saturday.

He has also played every reserve grade game at halfback.

Not really sure what your obsession with this is, just hope he gets a run in the first team, whatever position he plays, I suspect if he doesn't perform this week, he will be replaced with Gale (This might happen anyway)

Does anyone believe he's the right man for the job still?
