I can’t believe there’s posters on here that deny Pay has favourites in this team! If one of Martin or CHN dishes up what Elliot did today they’d be released after the game. I bet Elliot still gets named in the starting team tomorrow.
I'm betting he will as well and that will prove the inadequacy of Dean's coaching. The players aren't stupid. They might personally like Adam and Tols and Monty but seriously they play and see the mistakes and lost half chances and watch the replays together ( I assume they do video reviews after the game..probably can't assume that with Pay I guess). The players must see the ineptness. We are loosers with a capital L.
The players would know that CHN and Lewis offer more, however imperfect. That Renouf deserves another shot at least. Reimus deserves a go at centre at least. Harper a go at centre. They see Hoppa is coasting and the forwards too. They know they don't have a dummy half.
The players can see what we have on the paddock isn't working and making some of these obvious changes MAY refresh the team and give some confidence that the coach is capable of picking the best players in their best positions.
Until Pay picks our best 17 in their best positions, he will continue to bear the main brunt of the critiscism of the teams performance and not the players.
Get the selections right. Put the best team out there and if this rout continues, only then will the players be exposed and cop the blame.
Do yourself a favour Dean.
