The storm already offloaded kasianoIf Sue is retained in the team, Pay demonstrates further his lack of judgement. Sue was disgraceful on Sunday. As soon as he came on the team collapsed. He rushed up leaving a gaping hole for a try under the posts and dropped the ball for his very next contribution in the game. Downhill from there. Rhyse Martin should have been in the team from round 1. Bring back big Sammy. The Storm have to offload him and why force him to England. Get on the phones and do a deal. Get rid of eight of the 13 second rowers in the squad and the excess of wingers that we have camped in the backs. I simply refuse to believe there could be any cap issues remaining given the talent that has been unloaded.
So you are telling me he only trials them 40 minutes 3 weeks out from season proper but thinks it ok for full on 1 hour 40 scrimmage less than 24 hours before a proper game?Surely that’s a gee up?
If not, no wonder they’re stuffed by the 20 min mark
Agreed. Hopefully he returns Holland, Jackson to the right edge this weekend and Martin to the left.Can someone explain why Pay is playing players out of position?
Holland and Smith worked great last year. Crichton and CHN played near each other at Panthers.
He only just recovered from having surgery on both ankles in the offseason. Didn't have much of an offseason and had 40 minutes pre NRL season in a trial.
Pays a fucking idiot only giving our team a 40 minute trial. We needed 3 x 80 minute rtials because many of our players had only just returned from injury.

Anyone that has played footy in the halves at any senior level knows that halves are redundant if forward pack is getting bitch slappedGonna do some Moneyball here:
Plainly Lewis was much better at try assists and offloads. For a half the most important stat is try assist. If they're not creating a try, they're effectively useless.
- Foran in 2018, 12 games, Lost 75% of them, 1 try (8%) 1 try assist (8%), 1 offload (8%)
- Lewis in 2018, 9 games, Lost 55% of them, 1 try (11%), 5 try assist (45%), 4 offload (44%)
Now let's compare with 2019:
*from a Lewis kick.
- Foran in 2019, 2 games, Lost 100% of them, 1 try* (50%), 0 try assist (0%), 0 offload (0%)
- Lewis in 2019, 2 games, Lost 100% of them, 0 try (0%), 2 try assist (100%), 1 offload (50%)
It is obvious Lewis is the better half. Foran was worse last year and he'll be worse this year. The only difference is our lost game % will increase as Foran detracts overall. We win more games with Lewis alone. Allowing Lewis to be the leader and get rid of Foran is the better play.
Only problem is nobody wants to drop to reserve grade the bloke you're paying overs for.
Well I’m not personally, SBW JUNIOR said that.So you are telling me he only trials them 40 minutes 3 weeks out from season proper but thinks it ok for full on 1 hour 40 scrimmage less than 24 hours before a proper game?
Bring Holmes back from his amerAmer dream, no anti poaching involved. Rona also for the same reason. Would have to think about the hooker. None round that would be available without poaching rules except set who I am not keen on. Edit. Would also try bringing Radradra overWho?

Everything about pay is backwards..An important measure of a good coach is determined on how he selects and uses the bench effectively.
The bench is crucial and integral to the coach's structure. It's used to offer strike power, impact and stability, not just fill in four spots and/or because there is no confidence in a starting player.
When Canberra and Cronulla used the hooker combinations of Hodgson-Baptiste and Brailey-Segeyaro respectively, they did it because one offered stability whilst the other impact. I fail to see what additional attributes JMK-Lichaa combination offer. Mariner not starting on the bench puzzles me.
Last year we saw Pay's inability to select and use the bench effectively. Nothing changed!
