The ideal time for sacking McBanana now would be after the Magic Weekend, gives a new bloke a clear 2 weeks with the players with the following weekend off.

Really!!!!

Why is that so funny? If they sack McNamara now, the new coach has virtually no time to implement any of his ideas for over two weeks. Much better to wait until after MM weekend as suggested by Oldham Rhino.

I don't know what the Bulls have to lose. I mean it's hardly going to disrupt form and results is it? Seeing as they've waited this long, they may as well look for one in 2024 when they're playing Stanley Rangers.

I just think when you change the coach it brings a lift to the whole club, this could be lost before he has any time to get started by sacking him now. I do agree a change is needed though as they are already 5 points off the top 8.

I imagine any coach who is under pressure, and out of the CC, will find May squeaky bum time. There's the cup the week after Murrayfield, 2 league games, then another blank weekend. Any new coach who comes in will have longer than normal to work with his charges.

What woories me is that Mick hasn't been on how site telling us they are going to beat us by 50 points. I start to get paranoid when ge dosn't show up.

Macca is out of contract at the end of the season. As we are already out of the cup and league there is nothing to be gained (from the board's point of view) in paying him up and employing another coach. Hood's main priority is to sort out the finances. Don't expect to see the back of Macca before the end of the season.

From the match point of view I always used to hate going into matches where we were such clear favourites. Beware of a giant McBanana skin.

I think it will be closer than everyone seems to think... bradford will up their game this weekend, if Leeds have an off day you never know, but still expect the win but not be a canter

I aren't too fussed about the score, I just want someone to roll the chip van down the hill......................
