'ex' Barrett's Bulldogs

[Tomay]

He may have learned a few lessons after what happened. Unfortunately I don’t think he has the personality to inspire a team. The coaching tree that was the dragons when Barrett was there are all the same really - something that had carried on from that era where they should have been much better.

I liked some of his philosophies and approaches. The other aspects of coaching were worrying. If he wants to be one of the boys again it’s going to be a tough slog for the bulldogs.

I love the passion on this forum . But lets try not to make it personal .

Don't you have some front teeth to knock out somewhere?

Hopefully we have a plan for Albert to stay, he would increase our chances of winning more games if he could get a chance to show his skills.

Given club nursed him through 2 x acl I assume he repay time invested to some degree.

Yes true, a few dollars will also help.

The club managed to keep him in 2018 and making him part of the 30 in 2019. Hoping that’s enough to retain Albert for a few seasons and longer.

Time for Manly to release Jorge and replace him with Albert provided Alberts knee can stand up to NRL football

The Hopoates have always been mercenaries chasing the dollar as they need to feed the whole family

I doubt Carty will go to the dogs if Des wants to keep him.

Haha how true, I wonder if William chasing of the dollar helped him achieve his footy goals after year 1 ? He not played origin again nor played in any finals.

Buzz Rothfield mentioned on radio this morning that John Cartwright will link up with Barrett as an assistant coach at the Bulldogs.
Also said that while Manly have managed their cap very well, the club are worried given Barrett’s closeness with the playing group of him looking to recruit from his old club.

Happy for Cartwright to go if so.

He has been a good servant but we need to continue re-Manlyfying after the disastrous Zoolander experiment.

I would be very surprised if Des wanted to keep him tbh.

I don't really know why we'd want to keep him. He never really seemed to give us much. Our attack was ok (albeit chaotic and unstructured) and our defence was **** with Tbaz and him. Now Hasler has miraculously revamped our defence and our attack isn't anything too thrilling yet (mainly due to injuries). Therefore he's not a defensive nor attacking genius and is very expendible. Infact, I'd even say that I'd rather we get rid of him and bring in a motivational individual like Toovs to fire our forwards and backline up.

Carty just seems like a plain old trainer, while it is great in theory to have a former head coach I think there are plenty of better options out there to bring something new to our side.

It is a little smelly frankly.

Nice alliteration.
By the way I came across another car - a 1952 Ford CUSTomline. 4 dr sedan.

One of the upsides with having Barrett as your coach is that the team will not run last.

They will run second last. So that’s an improvement.

He probably has learned a lot, but even with all that he has learned he still strikes me as the kind of guy who just won't "get it". He seems to want to be mates with the players too much. Which is probably why he's well regarded as an assistant, but that trait doesn't translate well to the top job.

Barrett won't get any player that Des wants, simple..

 

[BOZO]

Well ... at least I attempted to engage you in a sensible discussion ...

I also attempted to give you a sensible answer with facts . What was it that you could not understand ? 2017 Bozo was head of football calling the shots , 2018 Bozo was not there and Trents Solo abysmal effort speaks for itself . I will tell you what is not sensible Trying to compare a failed rookie with a Premiership winning coach in Halser . No comparison !!!

 

[BOZO]

Thanks... because I have absolutely no clue of whom I am garnering support from, or for what reason I am supposedly doing it. Completely ridiculous assertion.

Keep posting feathered friend and some will agree with your posts and some wont . Thats life . We are all different and thats ok because it makes the forum more interesting .

Water under the bridge . I dont live in the past . I am very happy in the present. I hope your happy too as life is too short to live in the past
