I must admit on hearing the news that McNamara had gone, I was suddenly injected with a huge shot of adrenaline.

Please don't take the above as showing no respect to Steve McNamara but that's how I genuinely feel at this moment in time, like a huge problem has been lifted.

I would just like to wish Steve McNamara all the best where ever his future takes him.

Bradford Bulls have always had an excellent junior set up producing world class players one after the other, it's not Steve McNamaras legacy one bit.

Should have happened two seasons ago before any more of his poison was allowed to destroy us.

Mick, change your poll. Add "Relieved".

Sorry Michael but that's just not been the case, no matter how much you might want to think everything was always fine and dandy under your mate Nobby!

We've disagreed on this in the past, and doubtless will again this time.

Not much of a choice to choose from. I have a sense of relief, but also feeling a little vulnerable too.


...................& just maybe a little excited as we approach the end of the season.

I don't often say this, but you're wrong. This isn't just an opinion thing, you are wrong on this one. There have been massive improvements in the junior set up since Macca took over. Whether you want to give him the credit or not is another thing, but the system itself is in a much better state than it was 4/5 years ago.

Done

I think relived is a good call, I'm just glad a decison has been made. Had to happen really.

Probabaly.

Yes it was the case if it wasn't then why have England got 3 current internationals that were devloped in the excellent Bradford Bulls academy. The fact is Bulls have always produced top class players since the academy system was brought in, and it is certainley not Steve Maccas legacy.

I never said it wasnt in a better position than it was, only that its always been excellent and always produced top class players and it's not Steves legacy given the fact it was started about ten years before he was named head coach.

He's not even in charge of youth devlopment anyway.

For it's size Bradford has been pi55 poor at producing top class players over the years. Between Leon Pryce & Sam Burgess there was.......

Stuart Reardon, Jamie Langley, Ryan Atkins, Chris Bridge..All Bulls academy, all internationals.

You said Bradford Bulls have always had an excellent junior set up producing world class players one after the other. None of them are close to it with the very slight exception that Langley might one day become a top forward.
