Time to Roll the Dice

The club could have sacked Mary at the end of this season. Cost $00.00.

And the fact that they didn't, shows the cards they are playing. There allegedly was a 2 year extension on the table for Mary early on in the season and they were just waiting to see how things unfolded. Therein lies the problem.............He has been in charge since midway through 2014 and hasn't set the world on fire. The board should have waited til the end of this season, but they were always going to re-sign him unless we struggled in a major way.

It seems that he has the backing of the board so we are stuck with him til 2019...If things go pear shaped they will probably bring in some outside help.

The only way that sanity and passion will return is when the board is removed and can't see this happening unless a rich benefactor comes along and even then the board may only except help if their jobs are safe. In a nutshell.................We are in a pit and only digging ourselves deeper every year.

Sorry but when was the last time a try was scored due to Macdonald failing in defense? In the last 3 games he has had 3 different centres inside him, when was the last time we had the same centre that played the full 80 minutes in consecutive matches?

From memory the last time Macdonalds opposite winger scored a try was back in round 10 against the Sharks.

He hasnt had 1 decent attacking bomb kicked to him because our kicking in

The first try against the raiders on friday.
If he stayed on his wing they would not have score imo.
But agree re never receiving a decent kick.
He attack has improved.

You seem opposed to Dufty getting a shot and some highlight Mary doesn't have a skill set to help him.
The issue is Mc Fookknuckle is the coach for 2018/19 so there is an immediate roadblock for any of the potential young brigade coming through.
Surely the remainder of 2017 can be put to good use by Mary coming to grips with how to create a pathway and get these kids acclimatised to NRL and beginning the process of who we invest in and who we offload as not many will actually make it?
If he doesn't do it now and we again start 2018 with the so called tried and proved older players (who never get the actual job done of making us real contenders) and we meet with success for the first 10 rounds as we did this year and to a lesser extent 2016 / 2015 and it invariably goes pear shape and we again desperately try to cling onto making the 8 with a busted & semi unless line up as we are currently doing, we are just repeating the same old mediocre outcomes.
There comes a time in the life of everything when you have to throw caution to the wind in an effort to get out of the hole you're in and now is such a time.
That just won't happen.
Mary is fully tuned into his win loss record.He wants to make the semi-finals. So no changes.
Mary always tries to cover his arse.He knows his job is secure,if he can make the semi-finals in 2017.
Then Ben Hunt arrives.
2018 is a new year and Mary has survived again...
