I’ll be honest I was calling him McBanana, an awful coach, not worthy of L1 earlier on this season.
It appears I have egg on my face. He’s done a terrific job at turning it around and making the CC Final. Making the 8’s was a monumental achievement in itself. They’re also looking very strong for next season. Good luck to Catalans.

I am happy to put my hand up and say I didn't want him appointed and have constantly been tweeting "McNamara out" for most of the season.
Since the Salford hammering we took on Good Friday, the Dragons have been much improved and hopefully have moved out of the crisis mode that has been their stock in trade.
Whether I like him or wanted him or not isn't really relevant is it to be honest ?
Results are what he should be judged on.

If Catalans manage to win at Wembley, Steven McNamara will surely win Coach of the Year.

Defeating York, Whitehaven, Huddersfield, Saints and Warrington is OK, but hardly coach of the season material.......2 Champ 1 sides, fellow mid table fodder Hudds and Wire and 1 notable scalp in an off colour St Helens who have dominated the top competition this year......Holbrook has a 77% win ratio at Saints....Banana has about a 43% win ratio....Holbrook will win it should saints win the hubcap. |

Yes, we know about all that....but it's the turnaround that matters. |

Greg Bird is pulling a few more strings on and off the field now the pressure is off him.
Assuming he behaves himself, I expect him to be head coach within 2 years.
Drinkwater arriving, and Lowes leaving too.
Small margins, big results

Gregory Bird is contracted to take a coaching role when he retires from playing, but not necessarily as head coach of the Super League team. He will be either Head Coach of the U-19s, or assistant coach of the Super League team. |

He will be joining them as Challenge Cup holders

Another correct prediction from Sir Kevin Sinfield |

Steven may now be given an honourary citizenship of France as a result of pulling this off.
This achievement has brought French RL 70 years forward! |

HOW MANY TIMES?????
£20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000.
The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.
There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them.
