| I've heard from a very good source than Steve Macca will be out of a job if England lose this series.

Few have got the guts to sack a winning coach these days even it is the right thing to do. Wigan replaced Clarke and Mcinnes withe Lowe as it was thought he'd take us to the next level and of of course Dorahy got the boot on the coach on the way back from Wembley with the Challenge Cup!
I think those days are gone. Administrators have too much of an eye on the press and the PR to act like that.

I think most assumed that would be the case. Win or bust for him. Bar a shocker last Sat, I seem to be one of the few who think hes done ok. If we win and play well tomorrow id like to see him continue.

We've consistently been 3rd in a 3 horse race, mostly played crap rugby and there have been consistent selection and tactical head scratchers. Not to mention he's now based in Australia so he's no longer the "full time" England coach he was originally employed as. He's had 5 years, how much longer do you give him? I think we've done OK in spite of him rather than because of him, and with a decent coach in charge we'd actually be seriously challenging the southern hemisphere teams more regularly.

| Setting off now. Damn these early kick-offs; I usually stop over the night after the match, but this time I'm getting the train tonight, arrive about 10pm, time to check into hotel, a couple of beers and a good night's kip.

| If Mcnamara was to go, id look to Maguire or Hasler on a part time basis.

| I've read a few comments across various boards saying the cupboard is bare in terms of a replacement for Macca and I don't get that at all! We've never had this many options in years. We could choose between Shaun Wane, Brian McDermott, Daryl Powell or Paul Anderson over here and there would be various other candidates available overseas.
Lose tomorrow and it must be the end for McNamara. In truth is still probably look for a change even if we win. He's really organised the set up and he's done a good job overall but it just feels the right time to freshen it up.

3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

Surely it would have to be Tony Smith. He likes his teams to play free flowing, offloading, off the cuff rugby that the majority of fans seem to want. That would work well, wouldn't it!!!!

Surely Sir Kev would be a better choice that his partner in crime Danny Maguire.
On a more serious note Rouges choice may not be a bad shout, as a long shot Daryl Powell of Cas if given the time could prove to be a very good International Coach.

There's a difference between wanting to play a risky low-percentage offload game and not wanting to be bored to death.

| Assuming the role would be part time, then there's a ton of candidates.

Yes, and knowing the RFL James Lowes is probably favourite. ![Sad icon_sad.gif](images/smilies//icon_sad.gif)
