Message: [QUOTE="theshed, post: 3446791, member: 2290"] My criticism of Billy is really more a criticism of the treatment of Paix this season and our seeming lack of urgency in finding a decent 9. I think Billy and Paix was our best rotation this season but once Paix started getting dropped for Turpin it’s hard not to start thinking about favouritism. Paix was meant to be the guy we were hanging our hooker responsibilities on at least until Mozer is ready. Yet despite trying to force Turpin out early mid season we (Kev) thought he was a better option than Paix. The only logic the would be that we valued Turpin’s defence over Paix’s because it definitely wasn’t his attack that got him a spot. The issue is, Billy missed the most tackles in our team which is impressive given just how many tackles we missed this season. So why was Paix the causality here? Because he had one poor game? Billy and Turpin had those too. Outside of injury - there is just no reasonable argument to leave Paix out of the side. So it should have been either Turpin or Walters + Paix. I’ve got plenty of criticism of Kev’s coaching but I think the worst is his toxic management of spine players. He has absolutely burn and churned them over the last 2 seasons and they all eventually end up with severe confidence issues. [/QUOTE]
