Note: Long thread.
We are stuffed. Not one thing is working for us. Our coach is terrible and our players don't really care. But is it the player's fault or is it Pay's?
This man inherited a side that was demolished. Down in the dumps. Far from the light at the end of the tunnel.
I congratulate him for doing this. He is very brave. He went into coaching a team with fans that know success and have for a long time. He knows. We know. They know. He has overachieved according to what we were predicted to get over the last 2 years. @bradyk is correct ok. He has developed players. He brought in some good players. He brought in some terrible ones. But as a coach, he needs to go.
Pay is unable to get the results on the field. He can't pick the players in the correct position. He can't attract players to our club. It is just wrong. He does need to go but is it his fault fully?
To answer my own question I would say 50% Pay, 20% board and 30% players. Pay can't pick the correct team.
According to Round 8, he would pick this team:

According to Round 8, he would pick this team:
- DWZ
- Averillo
- Smith
- Holland
- Meany
- Foran
- Wakeham
- Tolman
- JMK
- Napa
- Jackson

- Elliott
- Cogger

- Foran
- Wakeham
- Tolman
- Katoa
- *Thompson
- RFM
- T'Oomonga
- Jackson
- Lewis
- Doorrey
- Britt
- Napa
His game plan is:
- DWZ run back
- Napa hit up
- Tolman/Elliott hit up
- Tolman/Elliott hit up
- Kick
Predictable is it not.
I can go on about him but I shall not.
But has Pay been given the best cattle he can get?
The players are not good. They don't put in the effort. They get thumped by 30+ every week. It is terrible.
That is why a coach must be bought. A marquee (Bellamy) or someone knew or liked (Fitzgibbon/Griffin)
They can bring in the players.
Recruitment is necessary for 2021. If the board let us down they are sacked and they know it.
Targets should be:
A centre (Cotric)
A half of 5/8 (Burton/Clifford/Renoylds)
A hooker (Friend/Grant/B Smith/Kenny/Roache/Verrills)
A backrower (CHN/Bateman/Fifita)
A bench prop (Welch)
A utility (Watson)
Resigning of Foz, Wakeham, Elliott. May have forgotten some.
That can give us a team of:
