Interesting comment. Wigan are thugs apparently, but no one could back that up when I started a post about this subject. Wigan are no more thugs than any other team, certainly not Castleford. Carney and Hauraki aren't exactly angels for instance.

I really like what Powell has done at Cas this year, coach of the year by a mile. Wane has far more to his coaching than people give him credit for. Personally I'd like him to stay concentrating just on Wigan. SM has come within millimetres of wins against 2 teams full of players from the supposedly far superior NRL. Leave him to build this team. We need more games per year though.

Stopped dead at this post.





That's all for now.

For all the people who want McNamara to stay on.

If your clubs head coach resigned today, would you be happy with McNamara being given the job?

I certainly wouldn't!!

Read the rest now.

People talk as though we are miles away when the reality is we have been a missed tackle and a bad video refereeing decision away from two finals in the last twelve months. This is a mostly young group of players that have made this the best England team since we got rid of GB. Any perceived mistakes made can be learned from by both players and coaches. To make changes to the coaching now could derail all the massive improvements we have made and would only be compounded further if the only realistic option decided he didn't want the job.

Given that there's a world of difference between coaching a club side and coaching an international side, that's a moot point.

Although I suspect you already know that.

I'll take that as a no then.

say what you like McNamara has a history of losing.

people say he's been unlucky 3 times in the last 3 big games. If it happens that often it isn't luck it's a pattern.

and what's he learnt from his time in Australia? How to attack like Wigan.
