McNamara learns from tough season

Steve McNamara
McNamara took over as Bulls head coach in 2006

Bradford boss Steve McNamara says he has developed into a better coach after a demanding Super League 13 campaign.

The Bulls endured a season of injuries and inconsistency, culminating in a 30-14 defeat to play-off rivals Wigan.

"If I ever learn as much in a single year in coaching then I will be surprised," he told BBC Radio Leeds.

"It's been a challenging year, but we've shown we can come through it. To make the play-offs after our problems this season is a major achievement."

He added: "We'd have loved to gone on in the play-offs and shown what we could do, but it wasn't meant to be.

"As a group we've grown and we now know we can deal with these kinds of situations."
