My issue is. You can see what game plan Pay is trying to implement. Its a clone of what ricky stuart has/is doing....Sxc_boi’s comments have some truth to it, Pay probably wasn’t the best choice coach to pick after Hasler, it was a risk to bring in an inexperienced coach to start a rebuild, again it was Dib’s doing. But in saying that, I’m not prepared to give him the flick just yet, the poor bloke has walked into a disaster. He doesn’t have a spine to work with and we can all see that. He simply hasn’t got the players. The majority of the problem lies with the spine, a lot of experienced NRL coaches would find it incredibly hard to work with what we got at 9,7,6 and now no number 1.
It’s not Pays fault, he is simply a rookie coach that is starting his career in coaching first grade but with no tools(player talent). Its a difficult task even for your most experienced coaches. Our club is just shithouse at the moment, and to blame it solely on Pay, is just not fair IMO.
Ricky's style is too high risk/high reward. Its not a composed storm like game plan. Raiders will impress you for 2 weeks, then look like spooners the next. Its just the system.
"If they score 30, we'll score 34"... not a premiership winning attitude.
In saying that. Ricky does know to rebuild a club and re-invent a club brand.
Pay is forcing a game plan on players instead of basing a game plan around the players he has.
