The dragons extended him earlier this season for another two yearsPay unless Mary is getting sacked this season.
So Trent Robinson, Craig Bellamy, Wayne Bennett etc werent rookie coaches when they first started?The results of Rookies like Pay, Mcgregor and Brennan is exactly why rookie coaches with zero first grade coaching experience in NRL and ESL should avoided..
The risk is too high.. not worth the gamble..
Get a coach whos done it and succeeded before..
Too big risk in my books.. how many rookie coaches to go through by the time you find the next Bennet or Bellamy..So Trent Robinson, Craig Bellamy, Wayne Bennett etc werent rookie coaches when they first started?
Bellamy and Bennett are just exception coaches but if you look at Robinson he did his time in England while the other rookie coaches G Dog mentioned went straight into NRL from being assistants. I don’t think anything can replicate what it’s like to coach in the NRL but coaching in England is the closest thing.So Trent Robinson, Craig Bellamy, Wayne Bennett etc werent rookie coaches when they first started?
Pay served under Bellamy, from memory, you can't get a better coach to serve under.Bellamy and Bennett are just exception coaches but if you look at Robinson he did his time in England while the other rookie coaches G Dog mentioned went straight into NRL from being assistants. I don’t think anything can replicate what it’s like to coach in the NRL but coaching in England is the closest thing.
Getting the assistant coaches is vitally important as well. I think Pay needed a veteran coach assisting him from the start with him being a rookie.
