Seriously, how could you though? Have you been deceiving us all along?

I thought when Billy said to the Fox commentators after the Shark’s game that the plan was for him to play as long as he felt comfortable with in the game and then they’d send Paixy on to finish off the game was such a poor egotistical boast. All he had to say was words like each game is different and I just do as I’m told by the coaching staff.
It was live and he didn’t have much time to think but a very poor response nevertheless that made Paix sound like he was purely Billy’s stop gap. If I was listening to that I’d have words with the coach as well.
This father /son arrangement now has the potential to stuff an otherwise brilliant season.

I mean, Billy has been doing really well. I’m probably Paix’s biggest supporter but even I can see that right now, Billy is going much better. I don’t want players just getting minutes ‘because’. Even if Paix isn’t happy, where’s he going to go?

Yeah, totally feel for Paix and I want him to do well, but it's not like he's been playing the house down and demanding more time. It could be argued he's getting limited time off the bench to showcase his ability, but unfortunately I think it's safe to say the consensus is he's not a good option to start, so he needs to play his role. He's kind of demonstrated his ceiling at this point.
Better on the bench than not in the team at all, surely. Maybe he should have a chat to Jensen and Arthars about that....

It will now... Petey B has been busy reaching out to Gus on twitter, but he'll be back here soon enough to find his next scoop

Not yet but I’m sure McHunt has sent a screenshot to Badel and we will see something today.
Its frustrating because we are winning games with this plan. Paix hasn’t shown that he deserves more than 30 minutes either.

I think this is a case of Paix convincing himself he's playing better than he actually is. When Billy is showing himself to be the better option at the moment I mean....What can you say about that?

CP has two options by the looks - get on the bus and work hard, or go to the Tigers where all careers go to die.

I disagree. I think it shows passion and drive to want a bigger role in the side.

I agree, I think Billy is going far better than Paix these last few weeks too. But I think how he handled the Fox interview was pretty insensitive from a team perspective.
