Thank you for not resorting to name calling like the other bozos.
I'll give credit to Pay whenever it is due, and I reckon being able to lure DWZ in such circumstances is a massive effort. The Tigers weren't the only club in the queue.
You look at our 17 on any given week, and you can safely say that half of them are reserve graders at any other team in the comp. Any win right now is an achievement and deserves some credit in my books.
Regarding Holbrook - he has an abundance of quality in his squad to be able to adapt and transition fairly seamlessly. Re: losing Barba, they already had the current England fullback Jonny Lomax in the squad to fill his boots which is a handy luxury to have. Pay doesn't have those luxuries, he has the absolute opposite. These comparisons are unfair
If you wish to praise pay for the win you can see in dwz (yet again we already know tigers where first choice and would be there if they had money) not a single other club appears to have had the money besides eels and they clearly wanted waqa Blake.
Dwz in my view came to us because we had the most $ for him, he got his position he wants and I don’t think any other club offered this.
Again you can dispute it but nothing pay did here can confirm or dispute that.
Though you must also be realistic and accept the crap he has produced as coach. Our roster is shit 100%.
Though we competed against the storm and arguably should of won that. We have seen that ability to produce some quality.
Unfortunately for pay he has shown poor to no game plans; the inability to adjust both in games and throughout the season. He has made poor selections both with squads and with his rotations.
While attack can be blamed to some degree on the cattle the fact our defence is the worst in the Comp falls on him.
Defence isn’t talent. It’s heart and commitment. Our players either have been lost to his lack of coach ability (again before blaming the players not trying our completion rates have been very high) or his structures are woeful and his inability to change that shows flaws on him.
Nothing about pay is a positive as coach. Nothing has improved. Nothing is impressive. We are the worst attacking and defensive squad and we have regressed.
I don’t care if titans are last and people say we won 2 games. We have been shit since he took over. He promised madness and players would know they played us defensively. He’s delivered nothing but the opposite except madness for fans watching his presser and our games.
Lastly If knights had Ponga and didn’t have to play 1 man down we would be dead last right now. Irrelevant though the fact remains he is out of his depth. Nothing disputes that at all.
