Once there was so many re-signings till the end of 21 I had a feeling they were kicking the can down the road.I have a bad feeling that we will have to put up with the same shit for another year...
There is only reject left at the Broncos no thanks!
Excluding Fafita of course but that wont happen.
Which makes sense to me.Could be just the start of the speculation Brent Read was saying on Triple M tonight that the Dogs are thinking about re-signing Pay for a year because they prefer the off contract coaches at the end of 21.
Least there’s some thought behind what they are doing but it doesn’t bode well for what the clubs going to produce in 21. It’s basically another year on the scrap heap.Which makes sense to me.
Holbrook and Fitzgibbon are both available in 2022 for example - not that Holbrook is setting the world on fire so far but early days. I hope it’s not Bennett nor Flanagan and don’t think Bellamy would come. Who else is available for ‘22 - I haven’t checked.
The answer of that last question is no. Nathan Brown (a worse win % than Pay) was able to recruit at the Knights who won multiple wooden spoons (a worse position than us).The question IS, does Pay deserve to have a few years in charge with actual talent?
I dont care what anyone says, even if Bellamy or Robinson were in charge of our team, this team would not make the 8.
They have all had spine players like Smith, Cronk, Munster, Slater, Tedesco, Keary just to name a few.
What will they so with a spine of Cogger, King Marshall, Lewis etc.
Seriously.
He showed in the back end of last year that he can coach. Part of the resurgence last season was the partnership Foran and CHN developed and that was gone.
Not much has gone right for him in terms of luck.
In saying that, the only question is, are star players not coming to us because of him.
Been hearing Between Anthony griffin and Shaun Wayne as head coach Michael ennis as assistant coach. Nick Citric is a done deal. Also Alex Johnston is done deal. Souths are offloading Gagai for JAC.Next week looms as one of the most vital in Canterbury’s history as the club moves to sort out coach Dean Pay’s future and ramp up their pursuit of some marquee players for next season.
Next week looms as one of the most vital in Canterbury’s history.
A decision on coach Dean Pay’s future is expected to be made as early as next week as the Bulldogs look for some stability amid the ongoing uncertainty surrounding their head coach. Pay’s contract ends at the end of the year and with just one win to start the year the pressure is mounting even if their roster is inferior.
There is plenty of pressure building off the field too for the Bulldogs who are desperate to add some marquee players to their squad.
The club is also in discussions with a handful of companies regarding a major sponsor.
The Bulldogs are the only team without a front of jersey sponsor and want to have an outcome either way next week.
Canterbury are also hoping to get an answer from Canberra star Nick Cotric next week. Cotric’s team are pushing for a five-year deal to secure the 21-year-old.
The Bulldogs are also eyeing some potential castaways from the Broncos who may be forced to move some players on.
In some good news for the club, they have secured back-rower Raymond Faitala-Mariner for another two years.

If this is anything near the mark WOWBeen hearing Between Anthony griffin and Shaun Wayne as head coach Michael ennis as assistant coach. Nick Citric is a done deal. Also Alex Johnston is done deal. Souths are offloading Gagai for JAC.
Harry grant is a done deal as tigers can’t match $500k from the bulldogs.
Also Lachlan Lewis is off to Melbourne a player swap with one of there forwards.
Foran is getting a 1 year extension on around 500k. Elliot is off to st George on $650k.
How can you throw that many darts and still miss on everything?Been hearing Between Anthony griffin and Shaun Wayne as head coach Michael ennis as assistant coach. Nick Citric is a done deal. Also Alex Johnston is done deal. Souths are offloading Gagai for JAC.

The board must be very close to spilling the beans publicly.Which makes sense to me.

Hold on hold on hold on... just hold the phone... so next week we're going to make a decision on our coaches future, and as a result that is one of the most vital weeks in our history???Next week looms as one of the most vital in Canterbury’s history as the club moves to sort out coach Dean Pay’s future and ramp up their pursuit of some marquee players for next season.

Does anything soften the blow on TK?? .The board must be very close to spilling the beans publicly.
It’s going to be a meltdown on a grand scale don’t you worry about that mate.
Good players sighing up might soften the blow just a bit.
Stop itWe're signing Jack Bird aren't we?
No he does not and we deserve better, pretty simple.The question IS, does Pay deserve to have a few years in charge with actual talent?
I dont care what anyone says, even if Bellamy or Robinson were in charge of our team, this team would not make the 8.

You would think if the club wanted to continue to overachieving into 16th spot they would save some cash and just sign anyone on the kennel. I’d prefer to see @Nasheed in charge for a season then watching Pay go around again..Lol Pay is a genius, coach that has shown nothing , not wanted , signed for his 4th year .
i think i would have good success with the right support coaches around me and would definitely make changes.You would think if the club wanted to continue to overachieving into 16th spot they would save some cash and just sign anyone on the kennel.
