| My initial thoughts are why do we need a 500th McNamara leaving thread? Don't we have enough already?

| My first thought is I'd like to thank McNamara for his effort and commitment to the club through some very difficult times. And I wish him all the best for his job with England. Yes he had bad days and made some shocking decisions, but he also made some good ones and thats what happens when you learn your trade in the most difficult and public situations. I'm not sure there are many other coaches we could afford that would have won anything, and now we are startign to see the fruits of the labour in terms of refocusing the club on producing its own junior talent, so because of the work done by Steve and his staff the future could be bright.
Onwards? well, depends on who we go for obviously, but I hope Hood does appoint sooner rather than later so the new guy can start planning recruitment for next year as pre contracts for available players of quality start getting sorted well before September. I'll wait for others to list every ex Bradford player/out of work coach/Aussie assistant and the pros and cons of the possibles.
Interesting times ahead.

| A good response from Hood, as expected.
No panic, lets get the right man, at the right price to carry on the move upwards.
And to Echo Duckman, I too would like to thank Steve for his efforts and think his efforts over the last 3-4 years, may just have saved the club from sliding into oblivion.
Good luck in your new role Steve.

| The hard work starts now.
The RFL will be doing all they can to take Lee St Hilaire to cover McBanana's ass, the way he has been at Odsal this season, but Hood has got to stand firm and make sure he goes nowhere.

| I hope Steve M has a lot of success with England more than he has had with us over the last few difficult years, I also hope Hood does not push the panic button and gets the right man to take us forward.

1589.jpg when two opposite points of view are expressed with equal intensity, the truth does not necessarily lie exactly halfway between them. It is possible for one side to be simply wrong.:1589.jpg |

| Well done Steve. Here's a chance to silence all your doubters.

The one saving grace is that there is time before the next guy, whoever he is, internal or external, needs to come in. A 'name' coach from outside isn't going to be that easy. Given that, according to the chairman, we're not paying the full cap, presumably for financial reasons, it does make you wonder how much is in the kitty to pay the 'name'. Along those lines I have to say that a good few, so called, 'name' coaches we have heard bandied about have a very mixed success rate at best, even if they do sound ever so good when pontificating on Sky.
Interesting times.

Not really. Watching the NRL it looks in general as if their players are again at least 25% in front of ours across the board in power, fitness and especially speed, and nothing McNamara could do will redress that blatant imbalance.

| While initially being horrified at the prospect I am now relatively pleased, given the available alternatives. I will support England with my usual blind optimism (except when Goodway was in charge, obviously). I think he deserves credit for the effort he has put in at Bradford in apparently difficult circumstances.
As ever, I would look to Aus/NZ first for a replacement. Just look at the progress made when the greatest scrum half of the 20th century was replaced.
