We have already witnessed Pay’s madness

- selections
- game plans
- disdain for trials
- use of interchange
- press conference dribble
- Mad Monday debacle

But before Pay lovers come at me let me just say 2020 I’m willing to give him a clean slate to showcase his coaching prowess’

Edit at least 8 rounds
Edit at least one round :P

Regardless of 2020, I don't agree with any of your presumptions. To whit the selections were justified, the game plans were based on the players available and their skill set, the disdain for trials was not a "disdain" at all, simply a reflection of where the players were during the preseason, in hindsight (always an unfair measure) some of the interchange timing could have worked out better, but at the time they were well judged, press conferences are always dribble, most coaches would not do them if the NRL didn't fine them for not attending, the mad Monday debacle was not foreseeable, a paparazzo hiring a scissor lift to get otherwise invisible pictures would not have appeared in any crystal ball.

Plainly your expectation bias (ie; "Pay is shit") is misleading you into only looking at things that justify your bias whilst ignoring the many more examples that disprove it. For 2020 it would help if you put your expectation bias aside and actually looked at the full picture.

Go Dogs

Your bias is your heads so far up Pay ass it’s not funny

His two years thus far have been a failure in reality and whatever measurement you want to use

Fail

2020
I’m hoping he can prove wrong not just me but all the Dogs fans that are sick of losing and listening to excuses because we are a club that traditionally are successful and don’t accept mediocrity

Go Dogs!

Just watching Kayo atm, they’re showing a replay of 2017 Auckland 9s.

Rorters vs Donks (both wearing light blue, wtf?), and saw Chris Smith put on a fantastic step through a hole and streaked away for a try, outpacing all the Donks...even Jimmy the Jet I think.

Where the fuck has THAT been for the dogs?

We're gonna get pumped by Parra. They've got a gun side for 9s. Still good to be seeing some form of footy tonight

Scoring first is also huge. I saw some stat and it was around 90/120 times the team that scored first won.

He's killing it! We needed an attacking hooker like him.
