It was good to see him get hooked, he started well with the 40/20 and then the try and lead up work but then he just overplayed his hand. He seems to lack concentration at times. Pay showed last year with CHN that he's prepared to drop players if they're not performing or need to improve on certain areas of their game.

Lynne gets paid to do that, not us. All we know is that Pay has shown he isn’t the right one for us moving forward
No, Lynne does not. Perhaps Hill does.
Surely you have an opinion on who an alternative is?

Anyone. We literally can’t go worse than Pay. Dymock was the better Bulldogs option if we went that way.

Would love some ruthless negotiating with a current contracted coach. But we don’t have that anymore, the pull is gone

Well that might depend on who else is recruited for 2021. As I said earlier today, everyone should keep their powder dry until after 30 June.

The usual 'Sack Pay' calls. Who replaces him? No-one never answers that question. Who?
Don't know in particular (who is available?), but would love a real coach and not some fraud pretending to be a coach.

Kevin Walters or Lee Malkoun.
Walters says he only wants to coach Queensland - he's desperate to win another Origin series having lost the last two.
Malkoun I don't know much about - he coaches NSW Cup level, right?

Mate seriously - who's anyone?
At least name some names.
You can't live in the past - Dymock didn't happen and the Sharks didn't want him either - they chose Morris.
This is a key point. I'm not necessarily defending Pay - I think he's done a decent job given the squad he's had.
Yes we're 0-2 and that's not a great start. Yes, Dean is going to have to fight for his job this year.
But there are NO credible, clear alternatives - that's why I say repeatedly - WHO?

That's precisely it - who is available? No-one at this stage (NRL wise).
Lower grades? Maybe. England? Maybe. But no-one appropriate has been identified.
That's why I'm not joining the Sack Pay chorus - because I can't see a clear alternative.

I think everyone knew how to do a good job even when des was in charge ... maybe this **** has no idea and thinks he does ?

So he keeps his job by default.

What about Sancho or Kiwidog7 are they available

The two new coaches this year that started in the NRL would have been available. Yet we continued with a failure that showed zero signs of improvement. Sorry to be blunt but the longer he stays the worse we get.

Why wasn’t the club interested in luring Holbrook back to coach.

Lewis missed 5 tackles.. wakeham missed 1 .. just saying..

That's probably why Pay hooked him..
Pay stated he hooked Lewis because he wasn’t controlling the game and went away from the game plan so he needs to learn more control in future.

Holbrook and O'Brien.
I'd like to think if we wanted Holbrook he'd rather join us over the Titans (did we go after him? Not sure).
I can't say the same regarding O'Brien tho. Knights are more of an attraction to coach at currently (already out of what we're going through, have the roster to make finals).
I see pay in a similar boat to Brown (with most likely the same future).
