Given the lame excuse for extending Mary by Johnston, I have no doubt that this was done to fullfill a backroom agreement. Mary will be sent on his way with a golden handshake.

Geeze I really would like that to occur possum , but mate who is going to pay him out ?
It certainly won’t be B.Gordon , in fact I believe that the joint venture simply is not in a financial position to do anything .

Mary is going no where.if 2020 the saints scrape into the 8 .he will be given another extension by the board around Anzac Day /state of origin time.remember he will have at least 15 other clubs chasing his signature.the board should lock him into another extension of his extension so he doesn’t have this playing on his mind .and he can concentrate on coaching

I don't have the exact stats in NRL games but Ricky Stuart must be close to holding the record, followed closely by 'There's something about' Mary.

Old Wayne is getting up there, 8yrs since our glory of 2010. Seems to have a fair shot this year though.

Then again McGregor is the breaker of all records. I wonder if thats why they re-signed him so quickly as another record is there for the taking

Hmmmm McGregor has us on a 5 game losing streak. Aren't we due for one of Mary's honesty sessions in Terrigal so we can get flogged 38-0 by the last placed team again??
Bulldogs might be having theit own problems with grumblings about Dean Pay's extension earlier this year after constant poor performances. But wait....they are playing us, watch them lift their game to new heights.

The off-season fitness regime is a failure, they have really cocked up. We need to bring in a whole new coaching, fitness and recruitment management team. Gus Gould will get the job done.
I I think we are developing a cargo cult mentality at our club, waiting for deliverance from more advanced civilizations. Maybe Gus will arrive, accompanied by Rangi Chace, Trent Merrin and Craig Bellamy with his entire support staff, if we build a mock runway outside the Taj Mahal, and wait.......

Bulldogs coach Dean Pay is again the most under-pressure coach in the NRL with a new report of player dissent at Canterbury.

Fresh from a miserable loss to the under-strength Raiders on Saturday night, the pressure is building on Pay.

The Bulldogs have dropped to the bottom of the NRL ladder with just three wins from 12 games.

The Daily Telegraph on Monday reported Bulldogs players are beginning to question the coach’s performance and his tactics.

“Questions need to be asked about why Pay’s contract was extended earlier this year,” editor-at-large Phil Rothfield wrote on Monday.

“There are rumblings from the players about their preparation and tactics. This story will not go away anytime soon.”

The Bulldogs handed Pay a 12-month contract extension earlier this year, despite the club’s concerning start to the season.

It is the same mistake the club made under its previous board of directors when Des Hasler was granted a long-term contract extension in the same year he was eventually terminated.

Pay on Saturday night pleaded for Bulldogs supporters to keep the faith in the direction the team is heading in.

Pay’s side once again had their hearts broken in their 12-10 defeat to Canberra at ANZ Stadium.

It was a familiar tale for the last-placed Bulldogs at ANZ Stadium — they were woeful in patches but proved they could match it with the rest of the competition in others.

After repeatedly turning over the ball (completing just 15 of 21 sets) and shooting themselves in the foot in the first half, they slumped to a 10-0 deficit at the break.

But they seemingly turned a corner at halftime and by the 65-minute mark they were back on level pegging.

However, the Raiders’ class shone through in the end as John Bateman and Jarrod Croker — who came up with a one-on-one steal on Reimis Smith before booting the winning penalty goal — got their side home.

The Raiders were also without Jack Wighton, Josh Hodgson, Josh Papalii and Nick Cotric.

“They’re devastated, we don’t want to be where we are,” Pay said.

“We’re working as hard as we possibly can to get off the bottom of the ladder.

“With what we’ve got, we’re young and still developing in our footy.

“We need to get some consistency in what we’re doing. We have some really good periods, we need to make sure we have those periods for longer in the game.

Why the Dogs and not the Dragons? IMO we are even worse as we have better players, maybe just maybe our players will turn on him soon.
