| Quote mystic eddie="mystic eddie"Benidorm. Classy.
However, you being there clearly has not helped YOU get the answers has it?
Then again, you are in the right place being by the sea. Plenty of sand for you to bury your head in.....'"
Try to be calm there McSporran, did I touch a wee nerve there?
I can confirm that I do indeed now have all the answers.
Oh and sorry to be the one to point it out but your sand metaphor, like most of your theories, is based on a popular fallacy and bears no relation to the facts

I thought Macca was pretty honest in this article and despite looking carefully have failed to spot any excuses offered.
I am glad to read that he is to work on mental strength during the off season as that is what I have missed all season. We seem to lack the discipline to really close out a game when we are well in the lead as well as to find a way ti win close games.

Yeah - and he also says this.....
Quote benjcakeThe best young coach in Super League said, "“As a group we’ve held our dignity throughout the season and not used anything as an excuse. "'"
Oh yeah?
Never questioned officials and decisions then? Never bemoaned injuries and bad luck?
Hmm.

| Can't help feeling that if McNamara doesn't get it right in the first half of next year that the spectre of a certain world cup winning coach (fingers crossed) looking for a club to coach will be looming large.
Would you want Smith regardless of Macca's performance anyway?
Discuss............

| i'd imagine its a defintite possiblity and if macca hasnt ironed out some of weaknesses in squad by the middle of the season then I'd imagine board will consider it and rightly so. However I think steve deserves at least till mid season before any decision is made and until then he should be supported.

| Quote Ferocious Aardvark="Ferocious Aardvark"BTW given he's already said that once his England contract is up (2009) he wants to get back into club management, I don't find it impossible to see a situation where his next job might be with us. McNamara could be headhunted, or he could get sick of the jibes and negativity, or we could have a poor year and he could fall on his sword. Can't see him going back to Leeds or Shudds, Saints won't be talking to any coaches next year, and so barring (maybe) Warrington or Hull, who would be in real competition with us if we went after him?'"
Warrington have covered all bases by only handing Jimmy a one year deal<how appropriate>
I'm sure that Smith would also love the job at the Bulls, but depending on the financial constraints at the Bulls, will Smith be tempted by Morans money?

| Quote Ferocious Aardvark="Ferocious Aardvark"Smith is of course the ultimate SL coach. That is, until he gets the England job and picks a Bulls player. Then he is a know-nothing buffoon.
The succinct quotes demonstrate that he knows what he's on about and is on the case.
BTW given he's already said that once his England contract is up (2009) he wants to get back into club management, I don't find it impossible to see a situation where his next job might be with us.

Can't be bothered to chase up references on PAB, but wasn't there a view on there a little while ago that Lowes was just keeping the coaching seat warm until Smith became available?

| That would be good, but if McNamara can hack it i'd rather have him as he is younger and it would be better to have him for a long time. If by the middle of next season we are still under achieving then we should look into it.

| Well the 2009 squad is McNamara's. He's no excuse that he's still playing with the poor signings of the previous coach any more.
Not that it'll make a difference.

| The foundations are being laid at warrington for smith to takeover there after his england deal runs out!
It started with lowes only getting a 1 year deal and continued when they signed our acadamy director john bastien

| It's approaching a new season . . . . . and it is a couple of hours since the last one
Not that there is [ianything [/iwrong with any of that, unless it gets really boring and monotonous, and so end up with one huge merged thread and a couple of other none "sack the coach" / "Macca" ate my baby" related threads. . . . . . .
