I’d like to know IF he does get the flick who would be his replacement? No new coach is going to turn the teams form around immediately with the squad we have.
This year has been a total right off having lost Okenbor and especially CHN before the season even began. Add in injuries to Stimpson, Elliott, Hopoate and the Tolman debacle and no team could have had a worse start than us.
We don’t have the size or pace in our side to compete with the other clubs but I do admire the effort the boys are putting in each week against teams that have a virtual representative squad.
Our cap issues was NOT any of Pays fault. We only now have cash to splash around and bring in 3 or 4 decent signings while blooding more of our Canterbury Cup team into our squad. I’d give Pay a one year extension to turn things around on his current contract based on the above facts. If we can’t lure some quality players over the next 6 months and at the very least make the top 8 next year only then should he be relieved of his coaching duties. He’s been a club stalwart since the ‘80’s he deserves to be given a chance to turn things around not just for this season but into 2021.
