1. If Priest was as you say pushed on Pay then Pay does not have to play him in FG that's what the reggies are for and
2. I can name you a whole Bulldogs Premiership winning side that was choker block full of egotistical attitudes that won the Premiership back in 2004. The only thing holding Nu Brown back is Pay!!! Strange he would play Priest a player that you say was pushed on him that had hardly any pre season preparation, yet Nu Brown who has been killing it in the ISP can't get a go.
But now of cause with Nu Brown out through injury Pay can play patty cake with Preist and Lichaa till his hearts content
