Consolidated Pay Thread

[AlzzBulldog]

In my opinion I think he won’t be here next year, considering we won’t be winning any games this year, we couldn’t even beat a severely depleted manly side, and this team just doesn’t have any mental toughness and right coaching it’s non existent. And also pay is not the kind of coach that players will be enticed to come here and play under when we are recruiting, he basically just doesn’t have what we need. I think the board re signed him just on the basis that the playing group wouldn’t be unsettled for the time being and give them time to look for another option. IMO there’s no way he stays for another 12 months.

Under pay we will not be able to attract any big name players, that Is very true as things stand right NOW!!! Fact/case.

 

[jshellshear]

If we lose against the Knights and the Titans pressure will certainly continue to mount.

It wasn't necessary to re-sign him for next year. If the club does want to go in a different direction they've just pissed away more money on a payout.

I know this isn't the best group of players but I'm sure other coaches could have done better than being last.

 

[Wolfmother]

It's hard one to analyse. Is it the coach or is it okenbur?

 

[B-Train]

Which is why it never made any sense to re-sign him in the first place. There better be a clause in that deal that leads to a minimal payout otherwise it was just a shocking decision by the club.

Either way he'll be lucky to see out the year and the club better be trying to line up a replacement.

I wish he would say to his guys just throw the ball around like they did end of last year when we smashed the dragons 38 nil.
Stuff completion rates,when u don't do anything with the ball u can have a 100 % completion rate doesn't mean you'll win .
I agree with comments made we still seem to b playing the way when hasler was coaching.
What have we got to lose.......frustrating

Who would you sign Scooby that would attract these big name players?

Most of last season Pay was very conservative and negative in his tactics. It was only the last few games where the shackles came off and they were allowed to throw it around.

I was worried this season that he'd revert back to the conservative style when the finals were a (miniscule) possibility and that's exactly what he's done.

I actually believe it may have been a smokescreen by the club, get some stability and see how he goes by re-signing him and if things don’t pan out, “Pay” him out and move on...

 

[KiwiDog7]

The irony was we played like a robotic pre meditated Hasler team

But Haslers team played eyes up footy and won

You may be right. That better be the case otherwise they just donated money into Pay's retirement fund.

Not sure mate, but there must be other options! All I know is we need something to give us a boost, we need some luck to build like the storm,rorters, Souths etc .. we have a lot go against us for so long and like everyone I’m making assumptions.. I’m in no way able to give that answer, but opinions I can.

Someone with a proven record and success, someone who gets results consistently.

Yeah, it was a genuine question mate, as outside of Walters, I don’t really know who is available who can attract a big name? Griffin? Not sure on him...

Yea mate, maybe.. but the next coach we get will need to be more than a stop gap so we can get this club back to the bloody top where we belong..!!

even if its okenbur, the coach picked okenbur

 

[KiwiDog7]

even if its okenbur, the coach picked okenbur

The coach also puts the defensive pattern together

Okunbor

Montoya

Crichton

All get scored on

Okunbor is best of worst bunch
Last night 184m, 2 offload one line break

Those other 2 don’t put up those numbers even in reserve grade

Manly are a good side this year. Wel prob win 4 more games against sub par opposition

Which team in the NRL has a worse roster than us?

The titans aren't too flash. There's other teams who have battled through with pretty poor sides, Manly when we played them is an example, their back 5 on paper was terrible.
