Why not ???Lol @ anyone thinking the club or Pay would take it further. He has come out and submitted to the NRL "I'll be careful with what I say"
So he should just shut up?

I wonder if the board/club had a word in his ear.Lol @ anyone thinking the club or Pay would take it further. He has come out and submitted to the NRL "I'll be careful with what I say"
More than hate us; they want us out of the NRL. Too many Sydney teams; but they fear another Bunnies backlash if they just kick us out; so next tactic is to force us into a slow death.And that is why i am a Bulldog. The Referees hate us. The NRL hates us. The media hates us. Every other team hates us because we are the bulldogs. NrL fans hate us because we are from canterbury-bankstown. The $25,000 fine just accentuates it. Disgusting.
He was meant to meet with them yesterday... apparently... if it was ever actually happening.Did he meet the NRL today?
If so and he came out with that statement then it is as I predicted.
There's no way the NRL will back down but if he did confront them privately then that is enough to have ripple effects.
Ie there was always going to be a public stance by the NRL but that doesn't mean it's the same as what went on behind closed doors
I think that's a bit over the top the club has done more damage to themselves then the NRL has in the last few years.More than hate us; they want us out of the NRL.

I think what he means is "I'm still going to call them on their bullshit just have to word it differently so not to get fined" i don't think he will turn in to a yes man for the NRL.I wonder if the board/club had a word in his ear.

CANTERBURY coach Dean Pay admits he needs to be more selective with what he says following NRL matches after being whacked with a $25,000 fine for attacking NRL referees.
The club has until Monday to decide whether to appeal the breach notice.
“From where I stand, I just need to be a little bit more selective with what I say after press conferences. There’s a lot of emotion after a game but what it is is what it is,” Pay said on Thursday.
Asked whether he thought the price was too steep, he said: “What it is, is what it is. That’s the NRL’s decision. From there we’ll just move forward.”
Completely agree, if he changed a few words he would have got away without a fine and still got his point across.I think what he means is "I'm still going to call them on their bullshit just have to word it differently so not to get fined" i don't think he will turn in to a yes man for the NRL.
So the Mole, FOS once again.Ffom the above link (bold paragraph in middle added by me):
Canterbury Bulldogs coach Dean Pay to tackle NRL over $25,000 fine for referee criticism, reports The Mole
By The Mole
Bulldogs coach Dean Pay is going to league headquarters today set to take the referees and the NRL head on.
Pay is armed with a video of a series of incidents from last weekend’s highly controversial loss to the Broncos.
Pay plans to appeal against his $25,000 fine for criticising the referees after his team lost to a contentious penalty close to full-time.
The Bulldogs coach has done his homework, finding video evidence of 14 separate incidents in which his team was penalised for incident while the Broncos were not.
He is asking for a ‘please explain’ from referees boss Bernard Sutton and is also hoping the fine will be reduced or even scrubbed.
An angry Pay unloaded on the referees after the last-gasp loss on Thursday night.
"I got a group of blokes who busted their arse and to be decided like that, it's ridiculous," Pay said in the post-match press conference.
"I will follow it up with them [the NRL] and they will say, 'We got it wrong', and they will just move on — it doesn't help us.
"We are trying to win a game of footy here and get our season going forward and it's decided like that.
"It's like we are not supposed to win."
So Pay can rip into them again and its only going to cost $10 000!https://www.bulldogs.com.au/news/2018/05/17/dean-pay-breach-notice-update/
The NRL today finalised the Breach Notice against the Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs for comments about match officials following their match against the Brisbane Broncos.
The club will be fined $15,000 with a further $10,000 suspended for comments made by coach Dean Pay.
The suspended portion of the fine will be imposed if there is a repeat of the criticism against match officials.
The NRL suspended part of the penalty based on the fact that Pay is in his first season as a head coach in the NRL and has no prior breaches. He has also acknowledged publicly that he needs to moderate his language when commenting about match officials.
I think it means the suspended 10k will be activated and added to the next fine.So Pay can rip into them again and its only going to cost $10 000!
