Well actually the 10 games thing was misleading last year. If you counted the Challenge Cup Macca should have walked but did he not produce a win over Leeds in game 11? In many peoples eyes (not living in Scotland  ) this win made up for our poor start so we have to think carefully what criteria should be used to judge him in the first 10 games. I don't think we can do that until the fixture list is out. Circumstance may dictate that 11 games is a fairer measure if several of the first 10 are against quality teams.
IMO he should deliver at least 9 league points in this period to stay but as I say lets wait and see what the fixture list is like.
Also we may have to cut him some slack if England win the 4 nations and players come out with statements like 'Macca masterminded our victory' etc

i'd be happy for mcnamara to stay if we're competing in the top 8 of the table. a good cup run is nice but not expected, especially after our mixed season just gone.
at what point do the board start looking at other options though? we're talking about giving mcnamara a new deal like he would want to sign it.

Tbh the board should be monitoring the availability of all coaches now in case the slide continues. I'd imagine they will be speaking to people more openly if we start the season badly. I wouldn't offer Mac a new contract unless we are comfortably in top 8 at the end of July |

When you're a Bradford fan there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.

A lot of the early wins last season came at a point where they papered over the cracks. At least for a week or so.
If we start next season the same as this season then McNamara should do the right thing, admit he hasn't got what it takes, and walk away

cue for "mcnamara could still get beat" jokes!!!!!
Thinking about it, I see what you mean. For example, what if we played a team of dead slugs, at noon on a hot day, in an open cast salt mine. What then? Eh? |
