McNamara made bad decisions from the beginning. I think with the right decisions throughout the tournament, we'd have made the final. And had we played NZ in the final, avoiding Australia; or had we faced a battered Australia in the final, who knows. We were clear 3rd favourites regardless of who was in charge. But McNamara was not the right man for the job, in my opinion.

This just beggars belief!
Laughable and the RFL are the joke!
He couldn't coach the squad whilst he was here never mind trying to do it from Australia.

You lot seem to be a bit slow on here, surely you can see that this all part of a bigger picture.
Whilst Stevie Mac is in Aus holding the position of part time England coach, he will have a deputy in England who will be a part time player coach as his assistant.

The one and only Sir Kevin, sounds crazy I know but stranger things have happened.

Absolute utter fkin joke, so someone who as a full time coach was useless is now doing the job part time on the otherside of tthe world?
Yeah that should improve us

Are we surprised that chairman left the rfl meeting, they couldn't run a bath.

A part time coach this side isn't good enough but at least he gets to see the players week in week out.

With the majority of England's "star players" playing in the NRL, could this be a stroke of genius from the RFL? Who better than an NRL assistant coach to give the low down on our own NRL players and our opposition's NRL players?

So while he is keeping an eye on the so called 'star players' the majority of any future squad will be meandering on in the UK doing their own thing.
That means he will have an assistant in the UK to do the job for him on this side of the pond, either that or the RL will have to invest in one of those 'beam me up Stevie' machines so that he could be in two places at once.
The problem is the RL may already be looking on ebay to see if such a machine exists.
