Director of Rugby : Fri Mar 06, 2009 9:37 am  

Would this possibly solve the problems at Bradford? Someone above McNamara who can offer experience and advice to sure up the gaps in his coaching style? We seemed to perk up when Smith was brought in at the begining of his reign. Maybe it's time to do it again? That way we bring in someone with more coaching experience AND we don't have to pay out to sack the banana

Brian Noble?
Paul Cullen?

It won't be Brian Smith as he's signed an extension at Newcastle.

Bloody Geordies!!!

Only kidding. No I don't think we need a Direstor of Rugby but I do think we need a more experienced assistan. Someone that has been out of the game for years and would be looking for a bit of a coaching job without the responsibility.

What about Karl harrison? He could continue commentating on Leeds United matches then. Or Ellery hanley? He could continue with his light entertainment television career. Or Alex Murphy? He could continue making mischief in the tabloids.

I nominate Mystic Eddie as the first appointment to the Directorate of Rugby, an idelogically pure committee of followers of the People's Team.

Whilst I am now of the opinion that sarcasm is neither funny nor clever, I will let this comment pass this once.

I doubt the club could afford to pay a DoR to be honest.

Shame really. MacNamara's best form as a player was under Smith, and his stock as a coach was probably highest around the time Smith was sitting in.

Looks like Wire doing something along these lines: Smith goes in to help Jimmy http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 925533.stm
