The Super League is in hot water with several clubs threatening to revolt over Israel Folau's signing with the Catalan Dragons.
The BBC has obtained an email sent last week by Hull KR chairman Neil Hudgell to Folau’s French team the Catalans Dragons.
“I reserve my position to take proceedings v Catalans Dragons. For example, if title sponsor withdraws, or external investment is not secured, or quantifiable reputational damage is caused to the brand of Super League and its members,” he wrote. Folau has started training with Catalans but a planned media appearance in Perpignan later this week was cancelled as the stoush comes to a head.
Speaking on Tuesday, McNamara said: “We knew it would be controversial. As an individual I stand by the club’s statement that Bernard issued. I fully support that statement. “It’s been 10 years since I last played rugby league and I’m grateful for the opportunity to be part of a great organisation, a great team in the Catalans Dragons.”
