Just for the record here are Pay's stats since he has been coach:What is the win ratio in first half of season when still a chance making the 8, back end of season wins are irrelevant
First half of season 7 wins 25 losses 21% win ratio
Second half of season 12 Wins 11 Losses 52% win ratio.
That blows the "we have no cattle" theory out of the water. If we can manage that sort of win rate at the back end of the season then why can't he coach them to that at the start? This shows he is lacking something as a coach and cannot get these players performing consistently.
We are obviously some class players short of the top sides but nothing I have seen from Pay will convince me for 1) that he can turn this around and 2) that he can recruit the top line players. For god's sake he coached the NSW Under 20's for a few years and can't get them to come across either.
Pay has to go and we move from there. That's where it gets hard. My preference is to identify the next supercoach and take a shot at that. I've said before that Cameron Smith is worth a shot. What have we got to lose?
