'ex' Barrett's Bulldogs

[eagleron]

Will Twent accept ownership of the spoon after they lose on saturday night?

Surely that's on Dean Pay

Yeah mostly I guess, but that squad were a lot better under Pay. Twent's recruits have all failed though.

Do you know what the scary thing about Zoolander is?

2017 ..... its kinda the forgotten or largely ignored elephant in the room when it comes to his coaching career.

In a side that had the likes of Matthew Wright (15 games), Frank Winterstein (25 games) and Lewis Brown (22 games), as well as younger versions of Turbo (his first full year at fullback), DCE, Walks, Marty, Jake, Siro, Brian Kelly, Uate, BJ, Green and even Nate Myles ... we were literally top 4 until late in the season (Rd.19 we were actually 3rd). We fell away at the end to go into the Finals in 6th, and lost the Qualifying Final to Penrith in week 1 of the Finals so we finished 8th overall. And that was our first year without Snake, Killer or Skivvy in over a decade.

Its scary to think that he has a Finals finish in him with the right team. We all want to remember him as a crap coach, but we went damn close to finishing top 4 in just his second year with us. Which wasn't bad given we'd finished 13th in 2016

We underperformed with Barrett at the helm, and it got worse and worse the longer he was here. He seems to get along well with the players, that is his strength. He is not a head coach.

Barrett had a great roster at Manly, many players he brought in also and had them nearly run last, he does not know how to motivate a player , let alone a team, he thinks he can coach but he has nothing in attack or defense, what he does have in abundance is an ego and a book full of excuses.

he's an excuse man that is happy with mediocrity and failure and that's definitely not MANLY.

He will still be bottom 4 over the next 2 years at the dogs and that will be the end of his coaching "career" if you can call it that.

He's brought over Flanagan as his marquee and thrown him under the bus, so hes not even really a man manager. If you look at him closely he's just a bloke trying to keep his job and he doesn't care how bad he is at it he will talk his way around teh real picture which is HE CANT COACH.

I think where Barrett fails is recognising halves and how they can play.
Failed with DCE - wanted him to be only half ( we got shut down)
Failed to manage Hastings
Didn't see anything in Hynes
Didn't want queeny gutho
Didn't handle Tom wright well ( was just a kid)
Can't get anything from Flannagan
Tried 7 halves this year with no good results
Poor Burton ( a center) is the chief for next year who must control and create.

Baz could have kept Foz on a cut price deal - he chose Flanagan and Lewis instead. Thank you Trent!

 

[Sea Eagle 4 Life]

And everyone keeps saying that he is a great attacking coach, as evidenced by his time at Penrith......................Please, I could have coached their backline as they were all stacked with natural talent. I know that the dogs have crap players this year, but Barrett has not improved one player. Im glad that he will be rewarded with the spoon!

Dogs bought up big in the off season and have gone backwards in a big way.

Last gigs for very very long time for both Baz and his Slapper Nathan Brown!
Biggest imposters ever.

Yeah, nah, COVID

Foz is home. Should never have left. He’s just the right fit for Manly.

At least Nathan Brown did some good stuff over in the UK, barrett has done good stuff.... never

There's something about the St George clique of recent years of coaches from their playing group. McGregor, Brown, Barrett. All big talkers, but none of them seem to succeed as coaches.

And in addition to that, if you recall in what position HE played, it really illustrates just how frightfully bad he actually is.

They never won a premiership as players either.

You will be able to add Jason Ryles to that list if he ever jags a gig.

Then there is Gasniers media career, in which his own brothers hatred of him was matched by the viewing public. Apparently the receptionists at 7 network are fed up with his constant calls pleading for job.
