Enough is enough.

Les Catalans has one of the top three teams in the competition on paper, but is now running 12th after only one win out of seven. It is stronger than last year with the addition of Ryles, Bird, and Bell. Yet it is performing miserably. Kevin Walters never had proved himself at the top level. He has proved himself now. He has proved himself an utter failure. And his employment of that worthless scrum half Shane Perry is making it all worse.

Poor Salford. Only one win out of seven. Shaun McRae is now old and fat. He has not the physical stamina and appearance that could inspire confidence in a team of trim professional athletes. Nor does he have a coach's personality. Sure he knows lots about the technical side of the game. Sure he is a good commentator on Sky. But a coach he isn't. He is coach of Salford only because he is a mate of the club wallflower Steve Simms. Salford is not a strong team on paper, unlike Les Catalans. But it has talent in the form of Wilshere, Alker, Swain and others. It should not be getting pasted every week. Only a new coach can save the club.

Noble and McNamara must surely be on the verge too.

why must they go though?
surely the idea of having this license system is so clubs dont panic midway through a season and are given time to build slowly rather than splash out on panic buys and sacking coaches?
fair enough salford are an embarrassment right now, catalans seem to gone backwards wigan and warrington i suspect are underperforming, add the poor bulls to that as well
but surely with no relegation and 3 years to get things right coaches should be given time to turn things around?

Noble won't be bulleted at Wigan. We have a far more patient chairman nowadays and although I am becoming impatient - sacking coaches does not work most of the time! Although Easter will be interesting for us with Saints home and Catalans away.

As a dragons fan I'm unimpressed with Walters, but I can't see who we'd replace him with. No point replacing him if we don't have a replacement in line. Bobby Goulding maybe?
I don't mind losing matches if we are blooding our academy players, but we're running on rubbish imports, which seems an excentric choice at best.

Graham Murray is free and may be available on short notice. As a former coach of Leeds he is surely not tied to Australia.

He could also be Goulding's replacement, if Bobby fails (as is likely) in the Quad Nations.

If you're going to sack them you've got have somebody better to bring in

I was at Castleford today and heard Bulls fands chanting 'MacNamara out' at the end (they'd probably been hailing him as a genius about 15 minutes earlier) but whats the point. You have pay them off, plus pay off their staff - then pay for a new coach and his staff.

And who is there - name names... 8)

Graham Murray for Les Catalans, John Lang for Salford, Adrian Lam for Wigan and Brian Noble back to recreate his success at Bradford.!
