There are definite paralells with Sharpe's record at Hudders. The coach was an assistant to a successful coach but never looked comfortable in the job and players seem to be underperforming.

McNamara confessed he had no idea why we didn't perform versus Celtic so how can he be so sure we can turn things around in the latter half of the season? Last week wasn't the first time he's confessed to being baffled either!

Apart from the fact that under Sharp, Huddersfield improved dramatically both on and off the field, whereas McNamara has virtually buried the Bulls.

When Sharpe was in charge Hudders had one decent run of form but where is he now? Hudders obviously thought he wasn't up to the job.

Agree that we've gone backwards under McNamara.

YOU CAN LEARN FROM THE PAST BUT NOT RELIVE IT.YOU CAN HOPE FOR THE FUTURE BUT CAN NEVER BE SURE THERE WILL BE ONE.:



The remark that made me smile was "we havn`t quite finished teams off"
What that`s a laugh he`s not geting anywhere near some teams let alone finishing them off.

That`s the problem the people (board) upstairs haven`t the bottle to get rid and not just that we don`t have the money to bring anyone in at the monment.

Under Sharp, Huddersfield went from 10th to 5th in the league and average crowds doubled. Under McNamara, Bradford have gone from champions to 13th and average crowds have decreased by 3,000. Huddersfield made more major finals under Sharp than Bradford have under McNamara. It's hardly comparable at all.

So McNamara's even worse than some on here think.

I appreciate that there are a number of people on here who want McNamara out and I understand the reasons why but am I to understand that he`s now being rapped for trying to be upbeat? Would you actually be happy if he gave interviews to the press saying "WE`RE DOOMED, WE`RE DOOMED". That would really impress folks wouldn`t it? Team morale would go up no end. Sponsors would come flocking to the door. It would be one advantage after the other....................

I know some would say that was just being honest icon_rolleyes.gif but do come on, when people get their hooks in he just can`t do right for doing wrong.

Red Amber and Black Fantasy Rugby League Champion 2012. By far the most sensible posts on this thread have come from mystic eddie. - copyright Ewwenorfolk 09.04.2013 Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know: Mystic Eddie has been right all along! - copyright vbfg 05.01.2017:Others/combustable.gif

The problem is that this kind of comment is being made week in and week out yet Mr McNamara is incapable of understanding that actions speak louder than words.

He has to speak to the press. There's only so much he can say. If you don't like reading it, don't.

He doesn't have to make silly quotes like this.

Quote: af "“Steve Mac wrote We will address and attack the second half of the season though with the same enthusiasm and confidence we started the season off and I’m sure you’ll see a whole different second half to the season from the Bulls.” '"
