Return of the Mac at Catalans

-

STEVE McNAMARA is poised to resume his Super League coaching career after seven years away.

The former Bradford and ex-England head coach is wanted by Catalans Dragons to preserve their top-flight status.

McNamara, 45, is only six months into a two-year deal as assistant coach at NRL outfit New Zealand Warriors.

But he will cut short his stay in Auckland to become successor to Laurent Frayssinou­s who was sacked last month.

Warrington skipper Chris Hill could miss Saturday’s Challenge Cup quarter-final with Wigan through suspension. He has been charged with a reckless shoulder charge in the defeat at Castleford.

Hill has the option of taking an early guilty plea but the offence carries a possible two-game ban.
