The media are acting like we killed Bambi in relation to sacking Pay. Its not painting a very good picture for potential sponsors of the club. They seem to forget that :

1. He knew what he was signing on for : and
2. No one was else was knocking down his door for a head coaching role when we hired him. The club gave him an opportunity that no one else was prepared to give him. He got a pay rise from his previous job and the chance to be a head coach.

Some balanced reporting would be nice. How about the treatment of coaches at the roosters in the past 20 years before Robinson ?

- Graham Murray (sacked in 2001 after finishing 6th that year and leading them to a GF in 2000) ;
- Ricky Stuart (sacked in 2006 which was 2 years after making 3 consecutive GF's) ;
- Chris Anderson (sacked after 6 months in 2007) ;
- Brad Fittler (club legend sacked in 2009 which was the year after making the top 4) ;
- Brian Smith (sacked in 2012 which was the year after making a GF)

I would see that as far more ruthless than what we have done to Pay. No one expected him to win a comp but surely the media and everyone can see that we have dished up this year demanded a change

It was always going to happen the media have been using the poor Pay narrative for weeks. It will die down now the decision has been made.

We help them by acting unprofessional.

He should never have been re-signed for this year, Hollbrook should be coaching and this would never have happened.

This is what they do. The media slammed the club for not acting then they finally act and they slam the club for firing the coach of a 1-8 team that averaged the fewest points in the comp two years straight..

The Pay sob stories will continue and they'll make it seem like the family club betrayed one of their favourite sons while ignoring Pay's constant failings as a coach.

The noise will die down once a new coach is appointed and then they'll write a bunch of bogus stories linking us to every player under the sun.

Atleast one of our players will come out and do something stupid soon to take the focus of this.....

Haha. Probably. Maybe something like a video with Napa and Elliott dancing naked together?

I'm still waiting for Paul **** to get hold of players baby photos of them naked to cause an up-roar and mass sackings from the NRL.

If we win our next few games, the media will say they always told us he was a dud.

Yep that is a possibility. And i bet they dont ask him questions like :

1. Why did you keep picking DWZ at fullback ?
2. Why was Crichton allowed anywhere near first grade ?
3. How come the bulldogs attack resembled an episode of the Benny Hill show ?
4. Why did you push for Liccha to be re-signed after he had only played 2 good games in 3 years ?
5. You had access to elite juniors whilst coaching NSW yet you only bought Meaney and Cogger to the club.
6. Why did you persist with JMK at hooker ?
7. How come you couldnt get anything out of Napa ?
8. Why has Josh Jackson regressed since you took over ?
9. NAME ANY PLAYER WHO HAS IMPROVED UNDER YOUR COACHING ??

You do realise that they are just your opinions, some of which are not based on facts.

So when we get back to winning footy games I am sure people will forget about this poor flog.

Parasites in the media feeding over the carcass like always...they wish pray and scream that this coach and that coach are gonna be sacked to sell their rubbish opinions in media...then lay on the sympathy for coach and loathing of club....’how could the they’ they moan

pathetic leeches all of them but special mention to Danny Weedler and Paul Kuunt

any club in our position would be doing the same thing...it’s called running a club, results matter

It'll be like this for a few days and then it'll be forgotten once the Broncos and Cowboys lose again. Siebold and Green are next on the chopping board

10. Why did you try and convert Holland into a hooker?
11. Why did you sign a fullback in Meaney then replace him with a winger at fullback and play a fullback on the wing?
12. Why is Steve James on your coaching staff and what has he done to see any type of development in the team?
13. Why sign Katoa as a hooker and only play him 20 minutes all year?

100%
Could not believe my eyes how Seibold and his team were celebrating after a win against us. Paints them more as losers.
