Todd Payten has to be one of the most bizarre coaches in rugby league

Sometimes I think he’s great and other times I think he’s lucky to still be in the job

Don’t think they’ll be sacking him this season and can’t see any other team who’s close to sacking their coach

If it really is Hornby I’d love to know the reasoning from Creagh/Watsford and co.

They just say the usual, really good at developing players, has been in a good system, a Dragons legend blah blah

Its hard cause a roster like the Cows is f***ing amazing.. if they arent competing for Top4/Top6 maybe.. the coach is underdelivering.. I dont think I'd want Payten here anyway, I think he would struggle without the superstar roster.. but supposedly we were chasing someone else from the cows system.. I assume its a player not a coach. Also dont know what this means for Young, does he move on? Cows assistant or elsewhere? Or Hornby maybe wants him still... Hornby + Young did a little coaching together iirc... or maybe Hornby also wants a clean break.. with just Talau to be the bridge to the playerbase.. the thing is we have like 5 months to find a new assistant if needed.. this is not rushed.

But the cows definitely on song this year.. they held us to 0 also.. but defensively they were gr8 tonight also... one of the things that um Ben Gardiner spoke about is players need to make their 1on1 tackles now.. u cant out-system anyone.. and many times tonight I saw the Cows centres or wingers make those 1on1's.. its stuff that we dont do.. we are always missing those moments and its an instant 6pt miss.

I don’t want Young anywhere near the joint when the next coach comes

He’ll probably get the shits and f*ck off somewhere else anyway if he doesn’t get the job

Get a completely new staff picked by Hornby and let him start fresh. (I’d make an exception for Willie Talau)

I do think they should come to a HC decision in the next 2-3 weeks about who they get. Give them as much time to plan for the role and get their staff in order
