One of these reporters need to grow balls and just ask straight up "is the problem the players or you".
Sounds like he blames the players.
RE THOMPSON:
"We spoke about it and said we’ll see how we are," Pay said. "He hasn’t run for quite a while so if he is ready he is ready, if not we will give him another week. He will have a week at training, he hasn’t run for two weeks because he has been stuck in a hotel room so we assess him this week and see how he is.”
RE TONIGHTS GAME:
Pay said simple errors and a poor kicking game contributed to the loss but it is widely acknowledged Canterbury’s roster has been hamstrung by salary cap restrictions for several years.
"We have always said that we want to put two or three quality players around our young guys and that is how we are going to improve. We have got Luke Thompson turning up here this week. He is a quality player, he is an international, he has won premiership in the Super League, he is a fit guy, he has got plenty of leg speed so we are very hopeful. At the end of the day there is light at the end of the tunnel, we need to get into the market and we need to buy three or four quality players and build on what we are doing. Hopefully that will make a difference to our team and we need to keep bringing these young blokes along."
"You have just got to make sure you turn up each and every week," he said. "We spoke about it down there a little while ago about how it’s hard work and we’ve got to stay in the grind. We get a decent 20 minutes out of them and then they go away from what they are doing. It’s tough."

*Flips the coaches table and marches the dumb cunt out, then goes and flips the board table and marches them out whilst at it*
One thing, just one thing, beat the fucking Tigers, and you couldn't even manage that!
How many injuries are they carrying currently?

Still trying to balance up the best way to handle Game Day Threads.
Maybe the day after the game it reverts to BarkBox or something like that..
Trying to keep things flowing.. thoughts?

Tricky thing there is you end up with people discussing the game (like on other forums) in the Game Day Thread, whilst people are also discussing it in the Chat (so two different threads).
Perhaps I need to revert to my initial idea (Chat only enabled during game days and linked to Game Day Threads), and disabled at all other times. That might be a long term thing though, given at the moment growth is key.

Time.
With it, you will find the balance between what works and minimal interference.
