I'm sure that was made known officially a couple of months ago.

POW!! Right in the kisser!!

Kiss kiss, bang bang.

I put it on here a few weeks ago, its not official yet.

Was just going to say, I'm pretty sure its not official, mcnamara is still oficially the assistant.

Macca must be feeling great

few months ago it was announced he had been made part of the england backroom staff: [urlhttp://www.wiganwarriors.com/News_full.asp?newsid=4793[/url

But he has been offered the assistant coaching job now.

He can do his apprenticeship at England before coming home

Saints fans generally feel similarly.



In fact, a lot of us would like to see none of our players in the England squad. After all the crap that came out of last year, we'd be very happy for other clubs to take it when we get squished by the Aussies this time around.

As was KFC's swinging arm on Leuluai. I seem to remember him doing the same to Luke Robinson earlier in the season - but connecting on that occasion. Add it to the Stosic incident... how does he get away with it so often?

That would definitely leave room for some players who might even look like they want to play.



And haven't been to the coaching session where you wave your arms and shout at the ref everytime someone scores against you

Because he's not a niggly dirty player at all, its just that he is a saints legend so therefore doesnt actually mean to crack anyone around the head area. Its the other players who somehow seem to have the knack of ducking into it at every occasion.



Really he should be applauded for his tackle technic, even when it is late

Surely none of you thought the RFL had the testicles to ban someone for the playoffs? If Lee Smith can get away with a kick to the face then these guys were always going to get off.

It must have been a bad one also JJB lost his appeal against the ban



see below off the Super League website



St Helens will be without England forward James Graham for Friday’s match



Saints say the reigning Man of Steel has failed to recover from the tackle by Leeds Rhinos forward Jamie Jones-Buchanan during a fiery clash at Headingley last Friday.



A Saints spokesman said: “He has damaged his rotator cuff tendon in his left shoulder, which is causing more instability in the joint. This is a direct result of the chicken-wing tackle.”

Hmm. You have Gateshead Thunder under your username, so I assume you're a Thunder supporter? Why so bitter towards Saints? Still not forgiven us for tonking you 66-0 earlier in the season or something? What with the post above, and with this ...





... anyone would think you were in Superleague or something and had reason to resent us.



Very silly. Grow up.

How ironic.

Why?

JJB has now been cleared of a "chicken wing" but has still been found guilty of "applying undue pressure" and ban upheld.



Good old RFL as clear as mud.

Actually I'm a Wigan Fan, but moved up to the north east, so I go and watch the thunder



I've seen some pictures of half naked hot looking women under various usernames, does this mean they are really them?

Couldnt agree more.



The fans on SS have been creaming themselves over that 'explanation' from the RFL too.



So what exactly is a chicken wing, and what is a tackle which applies undue pressure to the joint? ? ?

Wasnt really that bad, a big over reaction from Senior.

Well this is what now needs to be determined.



Honestly, the RFL are the biggest set of idiots going.

You should go on RedVee, they'll give the RFL a run for their money
