I’m not sticking up for Lichaa either. He’s terrible.
He shouldve been the coach, he was already a hugely successful pack leader . He was terminated by hasler for trying out new strategies in training . He has the best work ethic I have ever seen, given the flick by that prick hasler but still committing 110% to the team . That's the attitude of a leader..
Probably a nice man but he has no leadership quality
You love a grandiose statement, don’t you?
OK sorry just stating my observation which I feel is relevant because we're all looking for answers here on TK.. We have a great team , loved watching the last 3 games we definitely had the opposition rattled but we were missing the edge ..
From all the clubs he has been at, players have spoken about it.
Maybe he does and he just hasn't had a long enough time as a coach. Maybe he needed a stint in England or more time as.an assistant. He just isn't the guy for this gig, imo.
This is swept under the carpet a lot, Haslrr has great defensive structures and Pay has dismantled them instantly
The roosters shaft all their stars as they start to decline (with the exception minichello and fittler) and continue to attract superstar after superstar...
Agree.
Fair post Wolfie and I agree, I think a lot of people underestimate the games we won because of Graham, Reynolds and Ennis’s competitiveness alone, there was a lack of skill there at times compared to others in their positions but in terms of will-to-win and heart, these guys won us a bunch of games on that alone.
Mick Ennis has taken up an assistant coaching type role with the Raiders in 2019 .. not saying he is the reason but he obviously has a role to play.
The Holland-Smith partnership happened because Hoppa was moved to fullback. With Meaney showing promise, it would be a mistake to drop him for Hoppa.
We can only blood players from our 30 man squad, unless you can obtain special playing dispensation for any development players. We have 2 hookers in our squad, JMK, which we transformed into a hooker late last year and pinup boy Lichaa. Our depth is very poor so you cannot blood players that do not exist. Bro best is to grind your teeth, guzzle some scotch to dull the tooth ache and hope we win enough games to escape our 6th spoon.
That's fine if the club's future ambition is to just be a mid-table team and a feeder club. To be competitive in the NRL you need big game players to guide those kids or you will lose them. Unless Pay overachieves, in the end it will come to this, is Pay capable in attracting big names without destroying the salary cap ? The answer will determine his fate.
If he picks Lichaa again, someone at the club will need to ask questions, because 99.9% on the Kennel can see his performance last game was disgraceful!
Have a good look at our squad bro.
