But do you [ireally [/i think if McNamara had given another of the usual tedious RL press conferences that would have ended in any sort of exposure whatsoever? That's the paradox I don't get
I expect him to answer questions that he has been asked and not to sulk and accuse people of lying.There has been a real feel good factor around the world cup and everybody seems to be enjoying it apart from Mcnamara As RL fan I dont want headlines about our national coach walking out of a press conferance

Load of crap. He was at Thorpe Park Hotel and Spa with the rest of the squad Wednesday night. He was still with the squad Saturday morning at the hotel, and he had no shiner. |

It's really not rocket science, i mean who is Englands PR guy, Mcnamara? I just think the statements England have release do no one any furthers. If Hardaker has been on the pop AGAIN, he should be named and shamed. Mcnamara fields a couple of questions, he looks like a man in charge and we move on. Two weeks now this has been going on. If he hasn't been on the pop again (which i'll be honest looks unlikely) then they have just exposed him to endless speculation.
Also i think Mcnamara owes Tanya Arnold an apology as he basically accused her of lying and making stuff up, and then acted like a child when interviewed post game,'"
Well said that man! How hard would it have been to put out that statement.
Especially agree with the Tanya Arnold point. |

The rfl statement says that hardaker asked to leave so why would they need to clarify that it was NOT for disaplinary issues? |

Because it' is highly speculated that he has been drinking again...
IF he hasn't been drinking again and it genuinely is for other personal issues, say that in the statement. Offer him some protection. |

The problem is McNamara shouldn't be doing any of this.
1) He should have a manager doing all this so he can concentrate on the team
2) The players need to belt up and be a professional international rugby team

Maybe he as been drinking, but it may be other circumstances that have lead him to drink that are the real issue. |

McNamara has already said that there wasn’t a disciplinary issue, he has said that explicitly. The RFL have then told us it’s a personal issue. That’s it. That’s all you have the right to know. Hope its not something serious and that Zak gets the help and support he needs, accept that he is a person before a rugby player and that you don’t have a right to know everything and move on with your life.
