While Trent is coaching an opposition team ..... we will never get a wooden spoon!

Maybe Barrett coached teams can get a special exemption from the NRL that opposing teams are only allowed 11 players.
I think Ricky may be a worse coach than Trent. Barret takes pretty average teams and destroys their structure and confidence. Stuart takes over competitive teams and drags them to the bottom. Stuart even managed to win the spoon with a Parramatta side that was a $million over the salary cap.

His press conference was actually really good. He speaks well and communicates better than most other coaches. I think that is a big part of the reason why people are deluded into thinking he will become a great head coach. I have always maintained he would be a handy assistant.

So have I, always said he makes a good ass coach for the team

Don't worry - I despise what he did to our club as well. We were a laughing stock thanks to the "Barrett tapes." No one wanted to touch us - not even for a 500k paycheck. No one except Des!
The everyone gets a prize is so bad these days that kids pretty much get an award at school just for breathing .......

I dont think he would be a good attacking coach (imo penrith just had a good attacking squad). He doesn’t know how to build a proper halves combo and the attack is generally very stale when there is no second-phase happening
But I think he is good at being a morale coach (aka a pretty face to act like he’s doing a job, but really just builds good relationships with the players, then inevitably signs a fair few of them when he gets given a contract as head coach elsewhere ). He is all talk and that’s how he got where he is. His big act is transparent to me in his bulldog post-loss press conferences
The USA ... where everyone is a champion at something and have the medals to prove it ... I lived there for a short stint and couldn't believe how they all buy into it
