So after ive had time to kind of calm down and look back over the game again, i just cant see this season getting any better with macnamara now.

He has completley destroyed a once fantastic team, ok players like Pryce, Peacock etc were already gone when he arrived but the doss he has brought in is unbelievable!

Last night we lacked pace,power,simple ball handling skills etc and would have been beat by any of the other super league teams, goodness knows what score it would have been if we had played Leeds!

The team lacks leadership on the field and off it. We dont have a Jimmy Lowes type player that can rally the team. And im sorry but Deacon is not a good scrum half any more let alone a captain!! He lacks so much creativity. We miss speed in the backs and now get bashed about in the forwards when we should be one of the strongest packs in the league! We are missing Lynchy massivley!

Fair enough we have had some rotten luck with injuries so far this season but that should give the youngsters a chance to play! Macnamara will not blood youngsters for some stupid reason, point of proof is shown with Dave Halley. Why we let him go is beyond me!

So, looking to the future and the rest of the season, the only person i can see being able to turn this shower of s**t round is Ellery Hanley! Did cracking job at Doncaster last season and would certainly start to ruffle some feathers up at Odsal!

I will obviously carry on attending the games but what with the credit crunch, its just waisted money!

Hanley fell out with Saints due to them cutting corners due to financial problems. As things like that appear to be the case here too I doubt he'd come.

Why. Surely the only way the number of supporters would effect things is if we weren't spending our salary cap. Another argument could be that if the board and manager had supported the existing players instead of putting all their eggs in one basket to put one over on GH we'd be in a stronger position.

I don't think you'll get much argument there. That said, the story is that Nobby wanted Iestyn for rugby reasons, rather than Caisley pursuing a vendetta.

As for the money issue... well, we all know the club needs more of it. And it's easier and cheaper to keep a team together, especially with a steady flow of youth players than it is to effectively have to start from scratch.

Eh?????

You all want to spend a shedload more on coaching staff, right?

Can you not see where the money comes from to help pay these - and everyone else not on the playing staff? The scouts, the people who go round the schools, the people who work on potential sponsors, the people who review legal contracts so we don't end up with another fiasco, the people who write the media releases that folk are complaining about, the pre-match entertainment that some folk have complained about...and so on.

You can't have full salary cap spend AND all the above if income is insufficient.

Unless I'm missing something significant here,
