Shocking first half display then when the lads get going and start playing as a team in the second hald with the crowd behind them at 22 all he makes three totally dumb and unnecessary substitutions!
There isn't a coach in super league that would have conspired to let there team lose that match.
Your time is up Mr McNamara please leave now and allow Mr Menzies to take over till the new coach is appointed!

Yes, a player with no experience of coaching will do a much better job. Do you think Menzies would want to coach the team for the rest of the season, because I don't.


I'm not happy that we've lost another one, but even if McNamara is making the wrong decisions, he is still a coach (albeit a poor one) whereas Menzies is not.

Just because he is called a coach don't make it so.

I would guess Menzies has forgotten more about rugby league tactics than McNamara will ever know. The season is totally fooked now so why not? I'd guess with him in temporary charge there would be renewed optimisim amongst the crowd and playing staff which might even propel is to a decent play off place. Worth a gamble? I'd say so!

It doesn't change the fact that Menzies probably doesn't want the pressure of coaching a team when he's never had any experience of coaching.

Even the greatest coach in the world can do nothing about some of the amateurish mistakes we made today.

Sykes with his intercepted passes
L'Estrange taking the kick off over the dead ball line.
The loose passes that flew straight into touch

Not good enough, and it's the players to blame more than the coaching most of the time.

Getting to a final is next. Then a top 6 finish or semi-final appearance. Then I suppose the derby counts as the most important league fixture. Us real fans don't look over our shoulder at our neighbours and do whatever we can to get one over on them. We look at the bigger picture. And this is the reason why Rovers are and will forever be considered a small club. Because their fans and board would rather get one over on Hull FC above anything else. Quite sad, really! :lol:[/quote:1juz9zgo] SPOT ON!

Ultimately it's very difficult to win games without your leader/playmaker on the pitch as evidenced by Saints last night and Leeds at the beginning of the year. Any team that has Paul Sykes leading them around the pitch will struggle no matter who the manager is.

Taxi? He should have hung his head in shame and climbed aboard the Hull Coach! This guy truely is clueless when it comes to Coaching. Team morale must be absolutly shot......Time to go Stevie boy...

Next home game crowd will be another record, records coming thick and fast under this coach..First Team to lose to Crusaders, first team to lose twice to Crusaders, worse capitulation after going into the lead, most losses on the bounce and no doubt worse home record for god knows how many years!

The result of that game clearly hinged on three totally ridiculous substitutions that were not needed. The team at that point were on fire with the crowd behind them. You just know we were fooked when Worrincy came on for Whitehead!

Yet last week he was quite happy to leave Addy on the bench! This week, desperate to get Worrincy back on just because he is sat on the bench. Wonder if he just doesn't like his company? Here's a thought, leave him out of the squad all together then it's a decision he no longer has to make!

Never mind a taxi give him a raft!!!!!

Preparation for today inc players building rafts.

Should be learning how to pass, catch, tackle and run onto a ball (RL basics)

Addy turns the game around and Macca takes him off????????

I have supported Macca but no more, let Medley take over until end of the season know the younger player better than anyone and MACCA PLEASE GO NOW!!!!

It's not the decline of Bradford under MacNamara that worries me....it's the fact that he's the England coach!!

I've yet to meet a Bradford fan who would defend MacNamara, and I know many disillusioned Bulls fans

It's amazing that three years after those disastrous changes in the infamous Wigan play-off game McNamara is still making the same mistakes when it comes to substitutions.

Thankfully there are only 7 or 8 games left of it.
