Well, if you say he's ok we had better get him hadn't we?

Well Smith is not interested, who else is in the running? Who can attract players? Until the city of academy filter through.

You say McNamara's club coaching record is awful and you'd be happy to have webbo in charge full time????
Remind me what webster's club coaching record is, please. Where we are as a club I'd say we'd be lucky to get McNamara.

Mcnamara's coaching record at club level is he took over from noble during the season 2006 and inherited the team that got knocked out of the playoffs in the semi by hull fc that year.He then proceeded to stamp his mark on the team,he became the 1st bradford coach to fail to make the s/l playoffs and did it 3 times on the trot and finished 10th 3 years running,until sacked by bradford,he also steered them to their longest losing run for over 20 years, brilliant!
Webbo took over at wakey and started in similar fashion to chester has at wakey but the fact of the situation at wakey is who ever coaches them has basically has only other clubs cast offs to use and no cash as brian smith found out.Do you not think there has been an upturn in performances since webbo took over ??

3yrs ago I wouldn't have wanted macnamara anywhere near our club but things have changed since then and Bradford we're going into decline when he was there I don't think it would have mattered who had been in charge

Our national side is the strongest its been for nearly 40 years,the australian and new zealand sides who game over here were both badly depleted,and we managed to defeat new zealand 2-1 in the recent tri series.We managed to reach the semi final of the 2013 before losing to new zealand who were thrashed by the aussies.His england coaching record is won 16 lost 11,hardly inspiring bearing in mind several of those wins are against france and in the 2013 world cup lost to aussie and new zealand,but had beaten fiji ireland and france.In the 2012 tri nations we beat france again and wales.In th 2011 world cup we lost to aussie twice but beat wales again.His record is dreadful considering the talent he has at his disposal,virtually everytime we play aussie and nz we lose.Just think about it won 16 lost 11,and most of the 16 wins are against france,wales ireland,fiji etc.Wayne bennett will be rubbing his hands at the wealth of talent we have as a lot of our players are stars in australia,and yet mcnamara couldn't do anything with.
I rest my case.

You do realise that no matter how good our squad or coach is we still ain't anywhere near the quality of Australia and New Zealand don't you?

England have shocking half backs (I include Brough in that) and all Englands world class players are props. You can have the best props in the world and still fail if your half backs are gash and unfortunately thats what we have. Wayne Bennett will fail with England ultimately due to this.

So who do you suggest for us then? Wont be Tony Smith (even if he wanted to come) as his record with England was shocking. James Webster was shocking with Wakey.

I don;t see the likes of Trent Robinson knocking down our door anytime soon so I wait with baited breathe for better (realistic) options

Why do you always derail topics? Are you not capable of interacting with grown ups.
