And who's out there with a better cv than him that we could realistically get? The guy has just won a test series against the number 1 ranked team in the world! I'd love to get Wayne Bennett or Craig Bellamy but let live in the real world. McNamara ticks all the boxes for me from a realistic point of view.

His cv is he took bradford from a team that lost in the elimination final the season he took over from noble,to being the 1st coach in bradfords history to not reach the playoffs and they were 10th each season he was there.He was also in charge for bradfords longest losing run in twenty years and signed off with a losing run of 8 or 9 successive matches,and the bradford fans praying they could get rid of him
As I said in an earlier post,he inherited the best england squad we have had for years and managed to leave the best halfback we had available,who ended up playing for scotland,danny brough out because he didnt like him.
If your impressed by his cv thats up to you,but it dosn't impress me iam afraid.

To be fair Bradford were on the wane which is proved by were they are now I wasn't keen on Steve Mac but working in Aus won't have done him any harm and realistically who are we going to get were a low end SL side at the moment

So I say again - who would you suggest we could realistically get that's better qualified? Whist I agree that he's not the best coach in the world, he is probably the best candidate that's been mentioned so far. I await your list of better candidates.......

Before we got chester,I said I would be happy with webster and nothings changed with that,plus he's a red and white unlike mcnamara who isn't,also do you think mcnamara will be cheap ? I would imagine he will be on good money and for good money you must be able to get better than him.Newtons retired and somebody like him or galea who has the club at heart would be worth a shout.

You point to macnamaras poor coaching record in SL but say your happy with Webster who's one go in SL was a disaster and whether he's a Hull fan or not is irrelevant there professionals

Whilst I agree, galea and Newton know the club and Newton in particular is still very passionate about rovers, neither have any coaching experience whatsoever. We need someone with some experience after the Chester debacle, IMO. If the board are serious about movin forward as a club then we can't afford to take a gamble on guys that haven't even coached reserve grade rugby, even if they love the club. However, Newton is a good shout for some sort of role with the club in the future.

Bradford was a job too soon for Mcnamara, similar to Powell at Leeds. He also had to deal with the backdrop of a club in financial melt down, anyone would have struggled with that job, hence Noble leaving when he did. He'll have learned a hell of a lot in his time with England and in the NRL.

The Danny Brough Myth always amuses me, he has proven time and time again that he hasn't got the temperament to deal with big games and pressure situations. Yet he is touted as some master HB. I still think SM is tainted by the Rangi Chase pick tho, I would love to know if that was his choice or a 'coup' by the RFL that he had to use.

Noble left bradford to try and dig wigan out of the threat of relegation to take over from the sacked ian millward and will have been paid hansomely to do that.

Danny brough, like him or not is a quality player,2013 man of steel,challenge cup winner and was one of three players nominated for the 2013 rilf international player of the year alongside greg inglis and sonny bill williams. To be nominated alongside two of the games great players says it all,so somebody thought he could do it on the big stage,but obviously not you as you say it amused you.
