Well, whatever happens next, I'd say that beating the reigning champions with a patched-up squad, no captain, no goal kicker, no vice captain, etc etc is conclusive proof that McNamara can coach.

No doubt not, ever, in some flat-earthers' closed minds. But it may have given a few of the fans in the NT (note emphasis) pause for thought, maybe more so if we can now kick on from here.

You might need to update your sig?

Doubt it, Hood won't let it happen. If we continue to play like that then he won't need to be out anyway.

Eh? Why would that be then?

The performance was there last night. The effort was outstanding, the players did very well and it was a terrific result. The likes of Halley, Worrincy (!), Sheriffe and Jeffries were terrific and the side pulled off a wholly unexpected win that MAY kick-start the season and they (and McNamara) deserve all the praise they will get after the game.

However, they now need to push on and prove that it was not just a case that managed to raise our game against our derby rivals and that it was a one off. I could also ask where that performance had been for the rest of the season.

Credit where it is undoubtedly due, the team proved me (and more than a few others) wrong last night. Hopefully I will be eating a lot more humble pie in the following weeks.

Totally agree FA. A good point, not that his detractors will agree.
However, just for a bit of balance and to help your argument, what do the Wigan capitulation, the Castleford collapse and the early cup exit following another major bottling mean?
