The thing is, so many players come out and tell the press and other people McNamara is a class coach in the making.

Noble's said it before, I know for a fact Leon Pryce wouldn't have left Bradford had McNamara been in charge, JP as you previously said.

And if you dig up the article about Sam Burgess signing his new contract, you'll see him state just how big a part McNamara being here was to him commiting.

Can they all be wrong?

Pryce and Peacock never played under him as head coach he was the assistant which is a massive difference and what do honestly expect Sam to say that he's a turd.

Questionable

Whilst "hate" is a rather strong word, what I would say is......

Despite so many people telling us that he is an "outstanding" coach, we, up till now, have still had very little evidence of this whatsoever.

However, we have heard all the excuses and are aware of the financial constraints he has faced and he will now be given the chance to prove whether he is indeed an outstanding coach or whether it is all unwarranted praise without a great deal of substance.

I made a promise to the Ancient legend that I would give the coach ten games and then re-assess my views on McNamara and HIS team.

Having said that, most things that are in the Mirror are a pile of dog poo anyway.

I know that, which is why I said "had he been in charge".

You can add Ryan Atkins to that list too. He left because of Nobby too. I was speaking to him a few weeks back on a night out in Pudsey and he said he went to see Noble asking to be given a chance over Ben Harris, yes I said BEN HARRIS (remember him!!) , and he was told he wasn't ready by Noble. Macca was of a different opinion.

ben harris was superb, atkins was in no way shape or form ready to displace him

...and that tells it own story. Ben Harris was an excellent player for us. Ryan Atkins is very average indeed.

For one who seems to want the whole world to love Mr McNamara, your defence case is curious to say the least.

think that might have been part of the problem with young Ryan. Likes his nights out a bit too much

Perhaps he does, when i've spoke to Atkins he's said that Noble never seemed to have any faith in the younger players. And he's not the only one who's said it.

Perhaps he might be a little bitter?

Nah, thats not like Raz, think he's just being honest in my opinion.

Raz? I call him R.
