I wanted Luke gale to play yesterday but I believe Matty smith did a great job. McNamara deserves a new contract. Before anyone asks why I think that or back it up with evidence or based on what grounds etc etc - it's because we won the loving series and he got tactics and squad selection bang on in the 3rd test

This time last year you might I said Radford deserved 6 games at the start of 2015, if then we were poor he should go.
The fact is, it's not my decision, and he is still in charge. It would be counter productive to want my team to lose. I want my team to win irrespective of who is sat in the dug out or in the 13 on the field of play.
For 2016 there can be no excuses for team performance. This IS Radfords team, he has had 2 years of hard lessons. Either he has learned from those years and we progress or a change would be absolutely necessary.
I will support the team, and at the moment as there is not going to be a change of coach imminently, I will support the coach as well. I have the right to voice my discontent if things go wrong, but I recognise there are better teams in the league (on paper). My view is that we needed to have won at least 5 of our first 8 games, bearing in mind who we play in that period. Any thing less than this and I think a change would be the best for all parties concerned.

Totally agree with all those points,there was a point last season when we actually looked a bloody good team culminating in the Rovers battering,Widnes away,wire away but then we dropped off for some reason.

Thats why you got the Bullet Agar...Adam Pearson wants winners...not useless gits like you.

McNamara is as bad a coach as Radford, quite possibly even worse, the sooner he does one the better the England set up will be on so many different fronts. He yet again picked players based on what club they play for, yet again had a poor game plan, yet again had no idea on how to play the opposition, played not to lose last week rather than trying to play to win, the guy is inept. Sure we beat NZ in a home series but jesus they were flaky and missing some talent in the halves. We have gifted players but he simply cannot utilise those players and come up with a plan to play to win games that matter. We got lucky on Saturday, if we were to play ANY side Australia might put out we would have got battered, the week before even more so despite some creditable defence.

What a bizarre post to make after we've won the series, you really do revel in negativity. Are you a little unfulfilled in your personal life? Maybe a 'Sack McNamara' petition could help ease the pain?

it would seem that it is you that have issues with your home life, are you crying out for help, do you need some contact numbers to reach out to someone that will get you through your crisis? I'm not sure why you feel the need to ask me for help (as disguised as it is) but I can point you toward the right people to sort you out if you're that desperate?
Am I glad we won the series, of course, there are some very exciting, very talented players that can & do match up to the best that NZ and Australia have to offer (aside from the halves sadly). However there are players that were left out/not played that had proven to be far better in their positions than what went on the field but he ignored them. The 2nd game was devoid of any idea in attack, it looked like we had no game plan whatsoever except to stop them from scoring and barge our way through the middle, it was horrible stuff despite the endeavors in defence. With McNamara in charge we won't progress, he's a second rate coach that won't/can't get the best out of what we have.
