Yeah, Ellery would give us the stability we need. Also, John Monie won the title the year before and now he's been sacked by France he's probably available, perhaps we should go for him.

I can't believe people still have the energy to continue to go over the same arguments over and over. It has become obsessive in some cases, get a grip!

I expect if we lose a match in the first couple of weeks we can expect a whole new campaign with a brand spanking new poll. I expect it will be the first highlight of the year for some.

It's a new season ahead and whilst I still think we're lacking in certain crucial area's, I do feel we should improve from last year. We're obviously short of a top quality centre, however we're not the only club who has been unable to recruit here, both Leeds and Saints are currently in the hunt too.

I think the key for the Bulls this year is to try improve the consistency week in week out. We need to limit our poor games at Odsal because I fear this year's crowds will have taken another dip. Hopefully some of the pub bar stool and armchair stay away fans will then begin to get behind the team a little. If the crowds dwindle.. we can be sure that the quality on the pitch will continue to also.

Considering it is being posted on the McNamara thread, what else were you expecting to see? After all, all talk about the great man has been condensed to this thread so if you don't want to read about it then it is pretty easy for you to stay away from the thread?

Unless, of course, you just thought it would be a good excuse to come on and have a pop for no apparent reason?

Yeah, that'd be like having a pop without offering any alternative. How empty headed is that?

I don't have a problem reading it.. I am just amazed that a few on here are still carrying it on though. You're all either pretty stubborn and unable to just let things lie or incredibly dull! Perhaps we just need the new season to arrive so we can analyse McNamara's failings or indeed improvement on a match by match basis (I can barely wait!).



At you personally? No my 'pop' was at more than just yourself. Although admittedly I disagree with a lot of your view points or certainly to in my opinion the extremes you take them too. But you're entitled to air those views in the same way I aired my views on this very thread.

Maybe we should, after all what has McNamara done as a coach to suggest he's a better option than Monie?

Maybe he is just cheaper?

Monie's far too old skool! His days in charge at a top RL club are behind him!

Now if he could come in as a assistant to Mcnamara!

Good point. Bring him back (again).

Don't be silly, Fox is from those Northern days that were oh so terrible - after those we should just now be grateful for whatever we have to put up with.

3rd, 2nd, 7th (haven't counted the near-relgation season where he took over halfway through) - not massively dissimilar to the last three years.
