Dean pay has been saying that we need to get better at what we are doing for 3 years... it’s up to him to coach and make sure they get better......... in happy we are sticking with Wakeham he seems to have something

Haha thats what i was thinking.
He's been using that line "we need to get better at what were doing"

What exactly are you doing dean?

 

[Heckler]

So now he needs him for his own sake.

Wakeham has resigned already

The only way Pay survives is money. He won’t demand anything financially substantial. And after paying out Hasler and losing several sponsors and then leagues club having a decline in revenue, it might be the case we are unable to afford a replacement.

Sad if true. We used to spend huge on staff, football departments, juniors etc. sad state that we are cost cutting or making decisions based on finances.

Didnt he also re-sign with us back in March?

6 guys ou t of that list won't be at the dogs so there will be 6 new signings

We either don't want to re-sign players who may be worthwhile keeping ..RFM and Wakeham were both mentioned as being advanced in talks to stay ( around a month ago) but still no movement or if any talks the players don't want to stay for what they are currently getting ( Elliot) .

He names wakeham when he's trying in vein to save his job

If he picked the right team from day dot we would be a far better team ..the bench on the weekend was the worst bench I have seen. Ogden doesn't look like he done much training in iso.

plus mariner has re signed

I don't think that's official. Same with Wakeham.

 

[Dogtime]

The disappointing thing is that we finished the season so well last year with pretty much the same squad. We were playing like a top 8 team and were consistently beating the top teams

But this year we have gone 10 steps backwards

I cant see how he could a contract extension when none of our players have improved from last year

We had CHN, Okkanbor, Chris Smith and a rampaging DWZ out to prove he's a fullback late last year. Lets not forget we competed the whole game in Game 1 this year against Eels ( who still lead the comp) this season who were lucky to score a bullshit try off a richotched kick to win.
Contract extension talk premature all the same.

Gosh sakes lewis in again...I swear just no thank you!It's been torture after torture and how many games has the crab played at centre? Give you a tip it's less than 1.

 

[dogluva]

Wakeham has resigned already

Is that official or the talks are still in progress? Any links to articles?

 

[doggieaaron]

Pay must be improving as a coach. He is sticking with Wakeham. No chop change this week lol

Wouldn’t the kennel be funny if pay does a last minute switch with cogger and wakeham

 

[CaptainJackson]

Wouldn’t the kennel be funny if pay does a last minute switch with cogger and wakeham
