Perhaps. Not sure what’s unwarranted though. He was unsuccessful.
Of course he was unsuccessful, previous management left a situation, that even the best mind in rugba league (Gus) is still trying to fix

Man, he had no idea. Pay was one of the toughest to ever play the game but I’m not sure why people want to pretend Pay was a great coach. His list was better than our current and the Baz years.

Gus re signed mariner who is finished, Gus re signed Okunbor under his watch, Gus signed 2 forwards this season in pele and Sutton who are barely on the field and didn’t bother signing any other forwards.. Gus signed an unproven assistsnt to A five year deal.. what else, need I say more

All cap relative. We have better players now and moving forward

It’s all, part of the (7 year) plan!

He was a superb player, tough, uncompromising, and skillful. And didn't mind going the knuckle. Doesn't make you a good coach or fixer of all things though. I'm not saying he was a supercoach.

As a player, I will never forget when he broke Lazzos ribs with a tackle

Said it before and I’ll say it again, thank fuck some of you muppets aren’t running this club, Dean was a tough, dependable player but as far as coaches go he’s a great truck driver.

We will never know how good Pay could be. Foran played a just a few more fg games than me in that time, Jmoz was broken. If we had a cap to spend we might have been able to keep or attract more talent
Never had the smarts to become a top shelf coach nor do I think that he had the ora to attract quality players.
