Barrett should have tried Tom Wright by now. He also should have swallowed his pride and brought Hastings into the squad.
Being a coach is about end results. When you select the same under-performing team the coach must take responsibility and make changes. Sure, he may be proven right that Tom is not up to First Grade - but was Croker? Is Hodkinson? There is no downside; we are getting beaten now without him.
Sure, Hastings may have been in the wrong, but if he can improve the team's results then he should be re-instated.
Barrett has failed to make the most of his resources. Had he tried every option and the team still failed then he shouldn't be blamed. He's not given himself an out and he now only has half a season to prove he is a real coach or just a pretender.
