I particularly like the phrase "this is what being a coach is all about"



What, getting thumped week in week out, signing average at best players and claiming the team is doing things well when its plain to see to everyone except himself that their not. That is what coaching is about???



Do the right thing and quit!!!



I get the feeling that it is now about digging his heals in in the hope of a pay off, especially as his reputation is so destryed that no other superleague team is going to touch him with a barge pole!!!

Ive seen them all this year and only recall being "thumped" onece.

i'd say shipping 36 at home is a bit of a thumping wouldn't you, or have you forgotten the wigan game also?

I was refering to to the wigan match. I dont consider a twelve point difference a thumping regardless of being home or away.

Being thumped doesn't just mean on the scoreboard.



Are you watching a different game to me? Don't kid yourself, just cos it was 12 points difference doesn't mean that we are doing well!!!

I do conceding 36 points at home is a thumping.

We wasnt great today but we were not thumped. Wigan was a thumping.

Open letter to McNamara



Four games in, three at home. 1 point.



Crap.



Yes Mr M, people WILL talk about you. The reason for this is simple. You seem to have no idea what you are doing, your signing policy is utterly rubbish, tactically you lack ability and it appears that your players have no respect for you either.



Whilst we accept you have signed a couple of youngsters from Cumbria, you have also signed a pile of less than average players and made us a laughing stock.



Of course some people will say that we have a good pack and that may be so but it is a shame that we have one of the worst H/B pairings in the league. It is all well and good having a great pack but it is worthless when you get the ball to inept backs who undo all the good work. Still, as long as we have ten second rowers in the squad we will do ok won't we?



Your bravado is bemusing at best. People are having a go at you because you appear to be dragging us down further as every week passes. Every week we hear how you have learned from your mistakes but what exactly have you learned?



You do not have the decency to walk away and you appear to be protected by a spineless Chairman who is good at making all the right noises but not so good at delivering the goods. In fact, you two are a bit like the teacher and the pupil it seems.



Every week you embarrass yourself further by telling us how you are getting it right, only to get it even more wrong. Admit you cannot handle it and take some dignity out of this because few seem to have any faith in you anymore.



The irony of it all is that the perceived lack of money at Odsal (despite the chairman suggesting otherwise) is helping you keep on side with some fans as you hands appear to be tied. The apparent lack of money is probably what keeps you in a job. You were a cheap appointment and we marketed you well. That is not your fault that the PR did well at the start of your tenure but they also look silly now.



You should have walked after you shamed us in the Wigan game in the play-offs in 2007 and a stronger board would have ensured you had to go. Three years into your job and and you have appeared to have done nothing.



You say you will "fight on" but I doubt too many people are listening anymore. After all, you have a dreadful record in backing up your promises with actions. Quite simply, you do not seem to know what you are doing.



Kind regards

Stop sitting on the fence.

Harsh words there mate, but I suppose he has had 3 years at it.

That's what some people fail to realise they seem ti=o think it's all about this season.

How this guy is still in the job is beyond me, should have gone at the end of last season.



Disgraceful.
