Indeed.
I think both Union and football are rubbish to watch in general. I think anyone can criticise any sport regardless of their relative size or popularity. In the same way as Bradford fans can criticise Leeds if they wish. Yes they'll be criticising a much bigger, more successful and more popular club  but hey sometimes I might agree with their criticism.
That's not the case with Gutterfax. If a Bradford fan criticised Leeds style of play for instance I wouldn't reply by calling them bitter and they have a chip on their shoulder along with quoting Leeds average attendance.
To do so is frankly bizarre. |

Are you serious? You think this.... [i "Are we allowed to mention that Football's boring or will you come back with a load of TV viewing figures to put us all in our place?"[/i is me slagging football off? Or is it me choosing another sport that's bigger than RL to make a point.
Are you going to comment on Him's stats or are we pretending that didn't just happen?  |

| Quote: Him "My dearest William, indeed I did quote the wrong figure. However what you deliberately missed off was the comparison to just 5 days worth of English Football. That was the comparison, since the Union Moonies were happily slagging off the far, far bigger code of football.
But if you want a comparison to the AP then here are the stats compiled in your terms (double headers etc attendances spread across the number of games
2013 SL regular round cumulative (incl Magic Weekend) - 1,619,701
2012/13 AP regular round cumulative - 1,506,196
2013 SL cumulative incl playoffs - 1,759,951
2012/13 AP cumulative incl playoffs - 1,618,140
2014 SL regular round cumulative - 1,540,332
2013/14 AP regular round cumulative - 1,554,641
2014 SL cumulative incl playoffs - 1,677,825
2013/14 AP cumulative incl playoffs - 1,644,978
Here are the figures using the what now seems accepted way of compiling attendances and is the way the AP use to compile them (using double header etc attendances for each match)
Ouch

So after ignoring the topic of the thread totally, loiner 81 is now championing soccer in the hope of digging himself out if a hole entirely of his own digging whilst him tries to counter his attendance error by posting total attendances ignoring the number if games played to achieve them
Tin foil hats all round I say.......huzzah.

I heard that McNamara was a good coach. By someone who worked with him at the Roosters.

The same was said about Rob Powell at London. 
To be fair to McNamara, the team's performances have improved in the last couple of years. Seconds from a RLWC final and a finger nail from a 4 Nations final and not embarrassed by either ANZAC team since the 2nd half v Australia in 2011. With a little rub of the green (and a neutral referee) we could be discussing a 4 nations winning coach....... |

If England do ever win anything with McNamara as head coach it will be in spite of him rather than because of him.
The 4 Nations saw England with more shape, structure and game plan than since before the 2008 World Cup. This was probably due to the influence of Deacon rather than McNamara as England did seem to have the same moves etc as Wigan. The selection of Farrell & Tomkins in the 2nd row plus Sarginson into centre was probably due to the intention to adopt the Wigan style.
Deacon's only problem was he had McNamara at his side and as his assistant.
