I like McNamara too and he has excellent credentials.

But without more sweeping change behind the scenes I bet it would be a repeat of the Powell experience.


Continuing dysfunction and in about a year this forum would be full of fans blaming 'McBanana' for team selection / stuff he said in interviews after defeats and demanding a coaching change. 


Then he'd go somewhere else and do better than us.

Especially as a Yorkshireman with zero ties to the town, happy to take the money and the publicity to put himself in the shop window for his much-longed-for return to Aus. 

Abe Froman:




The 'top 3 triangle' are ultimately responsible for the sanctioning of new signings & extending the contracts of players, with plenty of input from the Director Of Rugby and the senior coaching staff, as well as advisors that are used in Australia. It's their money that's being spent afterall. But nobody seems to mention them when criticising the clubs structure & on/off field results, which I suspect is down to the money they've put in to the club over the years. Imagine what position we'd be in now without them, especially SM.

I don't think you can criticize them then, the club are paying people to advise and they are taking on board the advice given. The serious lack of quality falls on the people giving this advise. I have zero knowledge of who we use and if its the same people but if it is, after decades of poor recruitment with the odd exception id be cutting ties with no leaving card.
