Macca's latest utterings.... : Sun May 17, 2009 9:59 pm  

Bradford Bulls coach Steve McNamara:
"We were way off the pace and I'm not sure why. We didn't have everyone singing off the same hymn sheet and that's very disappointing for us.

I may be wrong but after 3 years in charge he should have some idea. What does he do with them during the week? surely coaching is about improving not getting worse?

That explains why you lost then, while your were team were busy singing from a hymn sheet Celtic were busy playing rugby league.

I think he takes them to the same place as John Kear takes our lot !!! There must be a bloody good pub in the area.

having seen their performances you can't help but get the impression that either some of them don't want to be here or they don't want the coach to be here.

Distracted? : Mon May 18, 2009 8:28 am  

I see Steve Mac has said:

“I thought there were too many people who weren’t on their game and too many were distracted.”

What could the players be distracted by to make them perform in such a way?

Maybe they've had enough of the coach and his staff!
I notice you've got a few coming off contract aswell so maybe negotiations are not going to plan!

You may be right. But the players are not doing themselves any favours with performances like that.

Personal pride? But if you like I can counter with Warrington at home, Wigan away, Cas last 10 mins, Catalan 2nd half. Maybe Leeds and Saints game says more about their performances than ours.
