I'm actually in a good place, a serene place. I have already accepted we are bottom two. Try it you'll love yourself again.

Grossly imbalanced squad. Too many players who do the same thing and no quality in the forwards. Two over seas spots on the wing! The're two great wingers but for 2 quota spots. Maybe one winger on the quota. The rest have to have more influence on a game.
Too many panic buys ( Tilse being the most obvious and Lunt for 4 years) and terrible re signings (Horne and the bigot when Welham was let go).
Chester comes over as a decent bloke and I don't wish anyone to be sacked but he speaks and behaves like an amateur coach. He appears out of his depth. Whoever comes after him has a massive job on their hands.
Last week's bizarre game in a blizzard didn't convince me. We could beat Wakefield and saints but that would say more about them at this time than us.
Unless Campese stays fit for the season we are bottom 3.

Macnamara has done nothing as a coach, we have had plenty of those thank you. What we need is somebody who has been there and done it.

Doesn't everyone? Few and far between though. FWIW I reckon macnamara will come back from oz a pretty decent coach

Take a punt on Rowley, although you'd end up being a team of sh**houses

Re: Away Defeat at Warrington : Sun Feb 14, 2016 6:32 pm  

As we lack size we need line speed & aggression. We have neither. Plus we seem to have abandoned marker defence completely.

6 tries to 2 is no worse than I expected. Just sums up where we are at the moment.

Don't judge Steve Mac by what happened at the Bulls. Never had a chance.

I don't think we lack size, not in the front row, but we do lack line speed and I agree with you all that our marker defense does is give away penalties. If we need a lesson on what a well coached marker defense does we only have to watch the Wembley video, Leeds were awesome.

We lack s#it houses. Teams must love playing us. Nothing to be scared of. Horne v Westwood is a f#cking mis match.

In fairness you don't have many coaches that have a 'decent' track record when getting a new job.

Wigan - Wane - First HC Job
St Helens - Cunningham - First HC Job
Hull FC - Radford - First HC Job
Huddersfield - Anderson - First HC Job
Catalans - Frayssinous - First HC Job
Widnes - Betts - First HC Job
Salford - Watson - First HC Job
Leeds - McDermott - Made the play-offs for Harlequins.

Disagree with this. His record in charge of our national side recently has been OK and he has left that job on a high. We were a Kevin Sinfield brain fart and just 37 seconds away from a World Cup final last time out and we beat the same opposition in the last test series. He was sounding more purposeful, mature and professional during his recent interviews too.

However, when one of the NRL's best ever coaches comes knocking to declare his interest, the RFL would have been daft to spurn that opportunity.

Mcnamara for Rovers if available
