Gilmour?

Whilst everyone is discussing Bruno we shoukld be talking about McNally. Has played really well for Ireland at full back and linked in well with Grix who played SO.

I really hope he takes his chance and that the fans get behind him. I think he could be a good full back.

Come on Macca

In for wardle?

Unless he's injured, I'd play Gilly. Phenomenal work rate every match.

Personally i would say he is a top man manager, and very honest. When you look how much each individual player has progressed since the time NB has been here i think we can all see how much impact he has had.

Ferguson?

It will be interesting to see the side. Maybe Faalogo to prop instead of Patrick leaving Gilmour in the second row. Also maybe go with four forwards on the bench so Ferguson or Horne instead of Kyle Wood.

Has there been a squad anounced yet.

No but McNally didn't play for barrow last night

As I said, I would never argue that he isn't good coach as people have improved, but most people just see the performance on tv and in the paper. he doesn't like conflict so shys away from it. Not a good man manager.

Sharp did seem to like conflict he had no qualms being harsh with people and look at what that did to the squad. It must be difficult to tell people they aren't playing and I don't envy him that job. There is no easy way to do it if you like people.

Bruno into 2nd row,the coach obviously doesn't believe some of the old guard can cut it anymore.

Every time I see a player interviewed they always say what a great man manager NB is and that he always explains his reason for leaving them out of the side. Last year when Danny Kirmond went on loan to Wakefield he specifically said that he wasn't keen on the move and it was only when NB took him to one side and explained he still had a future at the club that he agreed to it. Jermaine Macgillevary said that when he was dropped at the end of the season one of the things that made it more palatable was that NB took him to one side, explained why he had been dropped and what he could do to ensure it never happened again. Both Andy Raleigh and Eorl Crabtree have said live on the Radio that NB is a great man manager.
