You think he has done a good job to avoid the playoffs for the past 3 seasons? Tony Rea got slagged off on here on numerous occasions yet at least he got the club into the 6.

Why do you like him? Do you enjoy the tripe he comes out with after a defeat? Do you enjoy him seeing Mick Nanyn as a reasonable signing?

We need Marty back!!!

The problem for clubs in our position is, as Robbie Paul pointed out on the Super League Show a couple of weeks ago, lack of strength in depth and without more money it's difficult to see what can be done about this. Lack of cash is hardly BM's fault!


Oh God, I'll set GF off again, sorry everyone.

....... been done to death and as much as some on here and elsewhere think I spout b0ll0x, it does go to show that there's a connection between on and off field performance with crowds directly influencing the quality of player we can afford (and attract).
Enough has been said (mostly by me) on this subject, so I'll leave it .........for now!

Explain Saints to us all then

Mac should NOT be fired. Full stop.

Why not?

He has said himself, he does not know the answers. What sort of a pathetic coach comes out with that sort of comment? People on here crow about how he is doing the best he can with what he has available - he's obviously not doing the best he can if he doesn't know how to solve the current situation. His excuses really rile me and he takes no responsbilty on his shoulders whatsoever.

Is this really the case though? I can't remember the exact quote but wasn't there something earlier this season that refered to sponsorship not affecting the amount of money available for wages?

As a newcomer to this forum, I don't know what you've said before. However, your comment that "there's a connection between on and off field performance with crowds directly influencing the quality of player we can afford (and attract)" makes sense to me.

Given that Harlequins Rugby Union can fill the Stoop throughout their season and we're addressing a huge market across one of the largest conurbations in the world, it seems to me that getting more spectators would deliver huge benefits to the club in all sorts of ways – added turnstile receipts and product sales, increased sponsorship opportunities, increasing attractiveness to players, etc, etc.

Or am I missing something here?

I don't think he should, and i also don't see him doing it anyway. But nevermind walking didn't DH say that top 8 was minimum? Could he be pushed!? And 1 question to Lister etc, who would you like to replace him with if he does walk?

BTW, we will make playoffs IMO so this is irrelevent!

As things stand, we'd be at Wigan. But things won't stand. wigan.rlfans.com/fusion_pages/in ... age_id=878

Needs analysis though doesn't it?

For example, suppose almost the entire first squad are out injured for the rest of the season. McD's fault? Don't think so.

Six clubs won't make the [ridiculously extended] play-off spots, so should all six coaches walk?
