Bye Trent

[Chip and Chase]

So TB has officially pulled out of the race for the Cronulla coaching job. Seems an appropriate time for me to announce I'm not available for SOO selection this year. #buckley's

Wow.....the bar must be set extremely low if Barrett's one year as the Panther's U/20's coach was deemed "successful"

If he's looking at Parra, it's only because they are the one club he can't make fall further down the ladder

i do not see any NRL club taking him on if that is his line of thinking. Best hope is to go the England and try and have some success to gain credibility as a coach before he will be seen in NRL again.

Lets take a look for the moment at this for a moment.

The Panthers U/20's from 2013-2017.

2013 - Premiers
2014 - 9th
2015 - Premiers
2016 - Runners-Up
2017 - 4th

Pick the year Trent Barrett was their coach.

And that is "successful"???

And just to be fair, lets look at Manly's first grade from 2016-2017

2016 - 13th
2017 - 6th (8th after the Finals)
2018 - 15th

We started 2016 ranked 9th which is where we finished in 2015. We dropped 4 places in the first year, then managed to jump 7 (5) places in 2017. Then of course we finished 15th and a poofteenth from the clubs first ever first grade wooden spoon last year, and would have got that had it not been for the efforts of the Dalai and his Worms fighting to keep their spoon collection going.

In 3 years we basically went from being ranked 9th to 15th. And when you think that in that time we had talent the caliber of the Trbojevic's, Taupau, Walker, Cherry-Evans, Fonua-Blake, Thompson, Uate, Taufua, Hodkinson, Myles and Koroisau....all past or present representative players, it makes it sound even worse. Interesting....of that lot only Uate and Myles are no longer at the club while Hodko is the only one not considered a shoe-in for first grade this year.

That wasn't exactly a successful coaching stint either. It makes me wonder if there would be any NRL or even SL club who would ever be willing to employ him as a head coach in the future. Even before you get into his perceived whinging and not manning up to his role in the failures, his results really have done a lot of harm to his future coaching aspirations.

Maybe it wasn't just a lack of staff and plastic gardening chairs...?

These chairs?

Someone out there definitely has a sense of humour

Parramatta deserve a coach like Barrett

Shaun Lane would be impressed

 

[Peter C]

OMG this guy is so fake. He was never in the running for the job yet he goes to the media withdrawing from it. The guy is an olympic class charlatan. Everything about him smokes of incompetence and a fraud as a coach.

What you say is true, but gee, he had great hair .

I’d be very interested to read what you’re opinion on Trent Barrett Is @Woodsie... As a coach that is. Because In all the madness that has transpired during the last few months, there has been a sh1t load of conjecture and obfuscation on the subject. Not being a smart $$$ here, just curious as to hear what you actually think of the man’s coaching ability.

Parra and Barrett are a club and coach made in heaven . It has wooden spoon written all over them .
This would be the perfect scenario to a fairy tail finish for Trent
But some how I dont think even the fairy god mother Wayne (bullsht) Beavis could pull this one out of his ass .

Wayne Beavis and his bag full of commi$$ion

He’s gone time to let it go.

What done me with Barrett was how the fukc when your in golden point 89 minutes in that we have two unused bench players just sitting there . Bye ole ....

 

[BOZO]

He is still on the pay roll . He requested he got paid in full and we are doing just that . Paying him in full 😉

 

[chuckee]

Some of you seem to be madly hung up on baz still. Same people who were blowing him when the team finished 6th in 2017.
Folks it’s time to move on, you sound like school children.
I’m looking forward to the 2019 season with Des in charge while some of you are still stuck in 2018

 

[wobbly]

Maybe Tbaz is the Leeds coach, listen closely to the half time report from ESL...
