It's a fair call and I wouldn't rule it out

Rumour on Twitter it's Lam with Wigan buying Watson out of his contract.

Not quite the flannery combo, but maybe worth a go

Not that long ago most wouldnt go near Mcbanana with a barge pole - whats changed as i cant see a lot apart from them spending big on their squad and theyre still not that good - its a no from me

Looking back in the Diaries the word back then in Wilfs whiffs (based n rumour no doubt) was he was interviewed but we went for Peter Gentle. As for Steve well I learned the hard way that he is a good bloke and a really genuine guy. As for his coaching credentials well everyone is entitled to their opinions I guess. At least he would be a new broom.

McNamara would make sense in a lot of ways TBH

AP wouldn’t want to pay money buying someone out of a contract I imagine though?

What if McNamara just quit Catalans? They can't force him to coach them.

I see him as a far more likely choice than Watson, Powell or Wane.

A new broom is very much required, DP for me, But if it is going to happen, I hope whoever gets it, they get in asap, for some pre season 21 evaluations.

Once upon a time, contracts tended to run from the 1st November, so who know ?

AL's interview after the Salford game sounded vey much like Peter Gentle just before he got the chop, you/I could sense it in his voice.

McNamara signed a three year contact last October which would theoretically take him until the end of 2022.

His coaching career is a mixed bag for me. Poor at Bradford but the club seemed in a downward spiral of doom and debt anyway. He improved England and was 20seconds away from a World Cup Final, then at Catalans won the cup but they are inconsistent in the league and as you say have an expenaive squad. Also spent time in the sucessful Sydney Roosters setup.

On the whole id give him a chance, but id prefer someone with no ties at all to the club, a fresh pair of eyes on the full club. I fear he would know many of the players through his Son and club ties.

Was coming on here to say that it wouldn't surprise me if McNamara was given the role...beaten to it! He was hamstrung at Bradford with the Iestyn Harris fiasco, did ok with England I thought, studied under Trent at the Roosters and had won a CC with Catalans. Not sure he is the one to put people in their place though

Tim Sheen's would be a good fit. Won it all, great work ethic. You need a coach who's won stuff at highest level I think.
Keep hearing Danny Wards name.
Would be OK as deputy, with a view to future, but Def not as Head coach at this stage imho
