I would hope that TACKLING around the legs.

Kicking 40 -20's

Kicking a LONG DISTANCE for penalties

Not MESSING about at play the balls, rolling away, not holding the ball etc so you get penalised

Timing a pass and drawing a man were being done REGULARLY during the training times until the next match.

Otherwise .........................

I wish you were the coach and not Baz.!

what I would do though is offer your wisdom to McNamara caus I'm watching Bradford get tonked! It's superb.!!!

Wood, trees.

I bet you could make a well known saying utilising those two words but...........................

I can see the wood for the trees actually it's just that I try to support my team in there endeavours rather than critisize there efforts week in week out, by your remarks towards practising as you put it you are in fact questioning barrys ability to coach,what have you achieved?

We are top of the league with 70 nill stuffings of all teams.

We are in the quarter finals of the northern rail cup

We are going on to win the challange cup.

There is absloutely NOTHING wrong at Cougar Park.

The sun shines all the time, the birds sing and happy children cheer in continous delight.

The ground is full to the rafters.

Sponsors and developers are fighting each other in lumps for a peice of the action and the rest of the RFL is looking at us with envy.

Enough "reality" for you?

There is of course the "truth" but thats not as nice is it.

Nowhere have I criticised the coaches ability. How you work that out is beyond me but hey it's your brain.

All I suggest is things that could make the team better.

If the coach or whoever chooses to ignore my views or not even read them then fine, I'm not the coach. I've done my time with that, and refereeing and playing and being involved in the administration of the game.

Now I just stand and watch , but if you HONESTLY believe that we can't do better then fine, you just have lower expectations than me.

This team is one of the best for a long time and with PRACTICE can do better.

Of course there is the alternative.

Is that REALLY what you want?

by saying that we need to tackle round legs and practice 40 -20 etc etc although you haven't said it directly you ARE suggesting these drills are not being utilized in training enough to suggest Barry isn't coaching them correctly or that's how it reads anyway I'm bored of your persistant nocking of the cougars and we will see weather or not your masterclass in coaching bears fruit when we play Blackpool, if we win I will be the first to congratulate you on your wisdom I'm sure the players will too.

Quotes and dates please.

Please be EXACT because although I mention and observe things I don't think I actually knock the Cougars at all.

I would suggest that it is down to interpretation, however I am prepared to be corrected

I can see both points here,we do make silly mistakes and i agree we could improve on our kicking game but we have a good coach and with more consistencey a good side, i'm sure you both want the same for the club.

As others have said we have the best team and coach we have had for a long time and once all players are fit and competition for places returns I am sure that will be the kick up the booty some need. However I must say I agree with LeagueFan in that we are not helping ourselves by taking it easy at times. Why do we kick the ball further sideways than forward when we get a penalty. Ok so you run the risk of the opposition catching it if you cut it too fine, but to make 40 easy yards is something we should look to do even if we do give the ball away once a match through pushing our luck. I would also prefer us to use the forwards more when near the line, we often throw it 30 yards backwards only to be tackled on the 15-20m line when we were only 5 yards out anyway. Of course we won't always get through as teams will see it happening but we seem to have a move of using the prop as dummy runner, that to me seems a lot of wasted energy. Mix it up a little more I say. But that's no dig at barry of indeed buster who passes the ball out wide, it is just my view.

For all we know Barry is saying all of the things Leaguefan is saying, to the players and for whatever reason it has not yet happened on the pitch. Hence I feel it is very relevant to practice those things some more. Practice makes perfect.

Please don't let Leaguefan think he knows what he is on about, or we will never hear the end of it

I know!

It will confuse me and then what

You talk some sense? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bulls in need of a new coach.Step forward???

Modesty forbids!

I can't coach at such a low level

Say's who?

Leave McNamara alone, I think he's great



[size=75Is there an emoticon for "ing myself"?[/size

this is true

Fingers crossed that saints hammer bradford on friday we will be watching and hoping.

This is a tough call because we all want to see Leeds back on top of Super League which means we need Saints to lose and what better than they lose to Bull ers.

Second thoughts, I hope they hammer Bratford and lose to Celtic Crutchaiders and Salford, and everyone else and others etc...

Is anybody not going to hammer that Celtic team, not the other way around?

Errr

Don't think so.

I find the Leeds style of play boring as hell especially their bending of the rules. They get away with it so its good "coaching" but not in the spirit of the game.

In Australia they would get pinged at every tackle probably.

The teams I have time for in Soooperdoooper Leagues are the Wildcats because John Kear is sticking two fingers up to the "experts" admiration Les Catalans for their development of the french game and the Crusaders for winding up both the Leigh and Widnes fans.

In fact it will be funny when they add extra team(s) to SL and neither of those 2 clubs will be there (I hope)

I'm beginning to believe everything I've heard about you
