Then perhaps you embellish failure.
No doubt Harmison and the rest of the bowling attack will begin a dialogue of "explain failure".
In anticipation, 3 main event Grand Finals, 3 losses. Simples.

So they lost one game at the end of the season, where did they finish on the ladder? 1st, can't see how that is failure. Maybe they missed out on what they really wanted, but it's a long way from failure.

If you purely base success on silverware, your appreciation of Rugby League and possibly other things in life is very "narrow"
Most Bulls supporters have fantastic memories of the team competing to win, many remember feelings of great pride when they might have even lost a close game to a better team on the day but sweated "blood" trying to win it for themseves & us.
Success can be measured in many ways including crowd numbers, atmosphere, empathy between the team & its supporters, games won etc etc and, of course, silverware!
But, to measure success purely on trophies is the thinking of a "glory hunter fan" not the true supporters who enjoy seeing their team improve in skills & confidence, who enjoy seeing the club's young players making their mark on the game and getting the game time they deserve and, of course, the thrill of seeing their team competing for major honours ~ None of which has happened under McNamara !!!!!!

And up steps another bowler into the attack.
Save the sermon for the naive masses champ.
Clinging to some tenuous "empathy between supporters" style measurement of success is weak. At best. Poor. Very, very poor.
The essence is the reference to Potter as "a winner" as a coach. I am still awaiting an explaination how that is the case given his resources and evidence to the contrary.
But don't let that stop your Alice in Wonderland venture.

| The board are going to have to be careful on any new appointment. I for one believe they need some much improved marketing and a coach who can communicate with the fans as well as players. I used to feel part of the Bulls team. These last few years I definitetely feel as if I am just a customer.

Very well, but they were not up against anything so it is pretty hard to judge.

Hmmm. So if this is failure, then where do you stand on McNamara then?

How about you leave your armchair in Scotland to attend and game and have a foundation for your judgements.

A worthy contender.
But careful, he will accuse you of "bullying" and "hunting in packs" and similar paranoid nonsense.
