I can't fully fathom the argument for Pay or Carty. They have not had coaching experience except as an assistant, which really means sweet FA. If they had success in the reggies, that's one thing. However, I'd like to point out one little fact:
IN it's long history, Parramatta have only employed 3 coaches with prior premiership winning experience. On each occasion we have had a dranatic improvement. Ken Kearney brought us from spoon hogs to semi finalists in the mid 60's. Norm Provan brought us from spoon winners to Wills Cup winners in the space of 1 lousy pre season. Then, he piloted the heroic deeds of September '75 - the rock upon which the cration of a superclub was built. And finally, Jack Gibson took us to 3 straight premierships.
It's a simple concept. Don't employ a bare faced assistant from another club. Employ the only 2 men with the credentials that we require: sucess at the highest level.
