Bring Barrett in immediately. We are coming last (deservedly so), are the worst team in the comp by far and don't even look like winning another game . We need someone new calling the shots and the whole joint needs a re-set. Unfortunately the players seem to be a reflection of Pay's coaching and are comfortable with losing as long as we have a go for 60 minutes or whatever crap Pay dribbles out after every loss.
Our club has accepted and bought into the "losing" culture. It's what we are used to and accept now. Pay isn't going to turn that around this year or next year. We need a new coach to come in and turn the joint around and our players need to be told some home truths that no, losing isn't acceptable, making basic mistakes isn't acceptable, having a forward pack that gets easily outmuscled isn't acceptable, having no attacking structures isn't acceptable and the list goes on.
If the players we have can't start meeting the new expectations, we get new players that will, and if that means a total squad turnover in the next 2-3 years so be it. After tonights performance I would be happy for the whole 17 to be replaced bar Thomson. What we have now isn't working.
A new coach, a new voice, new expectations, new accountability for every player is a start. But first we need a new coach and if that is Trent Barrett, bring it on ASAP. Yes we might have missed out on our top coaching choices but yeah, life's a bitch sometimes so we move on to the next option and make the most of it. What's the worst that can happen?? We are already last
