At least they will have the most behaved players in SL as Radford says "We have some great, young, enthusiastic front rowers coming through at the club who appreciate our values and behaviours".

He might even get an award for the most settled dressing room, or an award for the nicest bunch of players.

Well, whatever he is doing is clearly working, two challenge cups on the trot, some other coaches would kill to achieve that.

agreed, he's doing a great job is LR.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Catalan are not sounding out possible replacements already. I don’t think their chairman is the most patient.

It's flip a coin between McNamara and Stone.
Another 3 or 4 weeks without another victory for either side and the guillotine may well be falling.
Next 4 games for both:

Catalan

Hull FC (A)
Salford (A)
Huddersfield (H)
Wigan (H)

Huddersfield

Leeds (H)
Catalan (A)
Castleford (H)
Salford (H)

THe game between the two sides looks HUGE and could well seal the fete of one of the 2 "favourites" for the chop

While the pitch forks are out for McNamara, I think he’s a good coach and could turn things round for Catalans. Sacking him would be the wrong thing to do.

That's a first for me. The words "McNamara" and "good coach" used in the same sentence.

Hudds next game is the small matter of Wigan away. Expect a loss and potentially quite large score line.
