I know McNamara tends to cop a lot of criticism and whilst I'd agree he won't likely be a top class player he is, as has been shown our best option at 6 (without moving Hoy) until Trueman is fit. He may not set the world on fire but he is steady and reliable, in fairness to the lad he is actually prepared to make a tackle, something that was in very short supply against Salford.
On that basis Chris may as well play Houghton there
McNamara is one of a number of our younger players like Scott and Wynne who will end up in the Championship
If the game was only a 20 minute one I might agree re Houghton but it’s painfully obvious he can’t play much more than that. I’d hoped that spelling him we might have seen a bit more from him but we aren’t and he looks done.
Looking at this season so far we started off the season playing a high intensity game with quick line speed in attack and particularly in defence. In that first 40 minutes we over ran Cas. 2nd half we slowed down and went back to standing off and waiting and Cas then got on a roll. We did similar at Leeds played with some intensity and decent line speed but that again dropped off in the 2nd half. The last two games we have little no intensity and against Salford we were just pitiful in every aspect, no desire, far too passive and lazy.
Can’t see anything other than another humbling unless TS gets the message out to up the intensity for 0 to 80 mins. There are still far too many bang/below average players and too many that are prepared to throw the towel in.
