He is a good coach but I just dont see him being a great coach until he has some edge to him. All his talk and decisions seems calm and orchestrated but he needs to have that extra bit to push on. I honestly cant see him winning anything, not until he learns the unpredictable.

Average player ,average coach imo get him sacked as long has he doesn't come back to Hull to coach couldn't care less ,good sponge man in Aussie

But how much is the gap narrowing down to England having some quality players ? We've had Caldewood, Richard Horne, in the wing position in the past.
Now we've a certain Ryan Hall.

Mcnamaras put some great structures in place that will benefit us for years to come. But we're having the same discussion we had 12 month ago (we're unlucky, we didn't have rub of green) we need a coach who can take us that on step further.

You seem to have all the attributes.

Positive!!

Posts like this always make me laugh.

What do you expect??


NZ and Australia are on a different level to England.

ALL of Durham Giants post's make me laugh.

For those who want rid of him, who could we realistically replace him with?

I think it is time to give someone else a crack at the job. He has though overseen one important positive during his time as coach and that is to have the squad/team seem united as one instead of the Leeds/Saints divide we had in 2008 and for quite a while previously of the national side never really gelling together as a unit.

For the first time in too many years we are competing in the backyard of Oz and NZ. Seems to me that we have a young squad getting better and in general on an upward curve.

Is now the right time to change the coach as we are clearly heading in the right direction?

Exactly, against Australia, we had two crucial chances to win the game, with breaks of 3 against 2, on both occasions the ball carrier didn't pass, If just once the ball had been passed wide the game would've been won! So forget"fingertip-gate" !!

Against the Kiwis, if Ryan Hall doesn't lose his grip, we win, sadly he did, so we lose.

It's been ages since I last felt we were about to win, well ages against Oz', only last year against the Kiwis to be fair, but I'm sure you all know what I mean.

Yeah, let's get rid of the coach.

Then we can start again with another coach who rips up all the plans and structures the players are used to and starts again from scratch.

We don't actually want to get caught up at all, do we?
