The blame for our current situation (I mean our current squad and inflated contracts) belongs to Hasler, Castle and Dib's board, collectively. Plus we have a team of fringe first graders mostly and a fucked salary cap for at least the next 18 months. Very little of that is Pay's fault, although he did re-sign Lichaa which was the shittest of all signings as we all know.
But there is no improvement in the side, and little if any in individuals. Some seem to have gone backward. I don't agree with the attacks on Pay's character on here, which are over the top even if driven by passion for the club, but he isn't doing his job very well and isn't showing any signs of improvement himself. Why are our backrowers coming in for one game, then getting sacked or benched only to be replaced by the players they replaced? And Jackson is not an edge backrower and he's not a captain, although he leads in other ways. Stick him in the middle consistently and give him 50 flat out minutes. At least he can plug the middle, not run around like a headless chook like Elliott. Foran should be our captain right now - JJ will get over it.
And hearing Pay praising Tolman as the heart and soul of the team? Fuck, that's just accepting mediocrity. I had high hopes for Pay and I still like him as a bloke from what I see. I hope I'm wrong and a miracle happens (just a small one like a bit of structure in attack) but I'm happy if we say goodbye if nothing changes in the next few games.
