News Fans erupt as Canterbury coach Dean Pay drops Corey Harawira-Naera to reserve grade

[Berries]

Lots of people overdoing it with the Pay hate. I imagine there would be a good reason CHN was dropped, as it wasnt for how he plays. Who knows exactly what went on to cause it, or how far CHN went, or what he did. It may be appropriate for what happened for all we will ever know. I do wonder if he would risk dropping him if we were much better off on the table and any chance of being in the finals this year though.

99% of the time its just the coach being a moron, rarely discipline

If people looked at his missed tackle count they'd see the reason he was demoted. Can't have a second rower missing so many tackles.

Yeh maybe he is putting all his effort in trying to be an attacking player, and not putting in the yards in defence. We do need his attack, but we also do need him to not miss too many tackles.

Most of his missed tackles are him shooting out of the line trying to put on a hit, not like he's missing them in the line and leaking line breaks. For example Jackson has conceded 7 line breaks while CHN has only conceded 3.

So the alternative is Adam “I’m hopeless” Elliott who loses the game lol

You could just as easily say though that Martin lost us the game by missing a goal. Not saying Elliott is a rep player, but you know.

I've been saying the same all year. Missed tackles can be a very misleading stat and should be looked at on an individual basis for each player.

Martin didn’t stupidly give away a penalty right in front! Elliot is utter trash
