'ex' Barrett's Bulldogs

[maxta]

Personally reckon Barrett is not as bad as some think, but certainly did not "fit in" at Manly.
He didn't seem to have the players "fight for a bone" and really bust there guts on the field for him.
He may have some good attacking ideas, as many top class players agree on this, but at Manly just lacked bringing out the fight - seemed to go through the motions....and he did bask in too many excuses and the players did not seem accountable after a loss....either way good luck to him, but Dogs will still not become a title threat any time soon.

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 !!!

OK .... I'll try again ... please refrain from answering with jingoistic memes or rants about Bozo .... simply give an answer to the questions ...

To remind you of the point ... I was saying that it is difficult to compare coaches

1) Do you judge Brad Arthur as a coach on his 2018 wooden spoon .... or the team he has put together and his results this year ?

2) Do you rate Ricky Stuart as a coach by his wooden spoons ... or his Easts Premiership and his results with the raiders for the past 3 years ?

3) Do you rate Paul Green as a coach by his 2 Grandfinals and a Premiership .... or his results this year ?

4) Do you rate Dessie as a coach by his 2 Premierships ... or his last 2 years at Bulldogs ?

Given the vast discrepancy in results attained by the same coaches ... only a moron .. or a clown ... would conclude anything other than that ... there are factors that determine results independent of who the coach is ....

This will be the litmus test for pretty boy. Either his last gig or the beginning of a good career as a head coach. I personally can’t see success.

He didn’t fit in at Manly and ****ed if I know how he’ll fit in at the Bulldogs.

Doomed to fail IMO.

If Hoppa jnr goes then who doesn't think that barrett is a **** Hoppa jnr can fund his own rehab ungrateful ****

Pretty typical of the Hoppa’s if the young fella goes, mercenaries really.

The mudia are so childish when coach's or players get talked about.

They usually drag out

this person is friends with this person
this person's parents are friends with this person's parents
this coach is etc etc

smh

I actually read that green may go to the broncos because "he is friends with Ikin...who may get the c.e.o job at brisbane.

If one of those little pigs could clutch at straws as well as these morons in the media do....the wolf could never have blown that pig's house down.



fmd.... I swear reading their drivel makes me less intelligent. (and who can afford that?)

[Shoe1]

my answers are below Woodsie:

1) Do you judge Brad Arthur as a coach on his 2018 wooden spoon .... or the team he has put together and his results this year ?

I judge him on the 2018 wooden spoon, and his sneaky evil nature.

2) Do you rate Ricky Stuart as a coach by his wooden spoons ... or his Easts Premiership and his results with the raiders for the past 3 years ?

I rate him by number of wooden spoons, and his temper tantrums

3) Do you rate Paul Green as a coach by his 2 Grandfinals and a Premiership .... or his results this year ?

I rate him based on his results this year, and obvious lack of ability to communicate

4) Do you rate Dessie as a coach by his 2 Premierships ... or his last 2 years at Bulldogs ?

I rate him on his 2 premierships and 5 grand final appearances. And ability to rebuild manly twice from bad spots.

Ah I get it now , yes that would cement the situation.

I think Trent possibly is a good assistant coach but think he lacks a fair bit in being head coach , I can’t believe he’s fooled the Bulldogs board into believing he’s their saviour.

From afar, and considering the types of issues that surrounded manly at the time , and trent it looked like he lacked maturity as a coach. He never really looked in charge of himself.

The game plan managements wheels fell off in the barrett days and i get the impression cherry got the idea he didnt need to run the show from barrett and he should just be him.

Its hard to know if he has gained some maturity since , although in the snippets we hear he seems to lack humility which is often a pointer that the lesson has been lost,

As a player and as a coach he has always been touted ever since he was 16. He rarely delivered consistently but has some memorable moments. He looks to me like too many people have been telling him for too long that he is a top bloke because he is super likeable with some skills. Not sure these skills translate to cut throat coaching but i can see a spot for him on a ciaching staff because you need that

I think he’s probably an excellent assistant coach , such as he’s doing now.

We won’t have to worry about Bulldogs for the next 2.5 years. Barrett on a 3 year deal.

Barrett a done deal as Bulldogs begin roster overhaul

Having locked in Trent Barrett, the Bulldogs are now ensuring he has a competitive roster at his disposal.

[The Who]

... and all the 'journos' will be speculating on the players Manly and Penrith will lose because of their man-crush on him.
Hoppa Jnr has already been touted. Won't that cause Silvertails to go into meltdown if true?

 

[Woodsie]

Journo's reports are filled with more "if's" than a stuttering kiwi reciting the alphabet.

The producers would like to add that no stuttering Kiwis were injured during the typing of this post ... and any resemblance to any fruit , or bird, or person, bearing that name or description ... is co-incidental and unintentional ....

 

[Bearfax]

If the Dogs grab young Hoppa, this will further demonstrate to me why its been a mistake not getting this kid into first grade asap. Said a while back, if you dont give the kids the chance they will go elsewhere. First Albert Hoppa. Schuster? I have the highest regard for Des but his conservative approach to bringing the kids through worries me. Manly have spent a lot of money bringing these kids through to this level. To see them depart before we can get them into firsts is not good judgment in my opinion. Ramien, Gutherson, Hargraves just to name a few. The Roosters and Storm would never allow this to happen

Now you know how people get when you start getting factual on ST @Woodsie !
Repeat after me:
Twent is bad because he left us, even tho we didnt want him to begin with because hes not Manly!!
Des is good although he left us when we did want him but all is forgiven because hes Manly!!
Come back Keiran, we forgive you for leaving us when we really needed you and we have forgotten about all the threats of legal action and the likelihood that you put us into the salary cap auditor and caused us years of grief because you are Manly!
Now try to stay on the rails @Woodsie and stop with all this critical analysis malarkey!!!

 

[Kevinward777]

Barrett has done nothing thus far as a head coach aside from under perform. Even when he had control of the best Toyota Cup side at Penrith he stunk the place up.

There is a vast difference between being a head coach and an assistant. The FACTS are that thus far, Trent has been an abject failure when steering the ship. Footy is a results driven business. His best results have been framed by his excuses and blame shifting to resemble a polished turd.

 

[Kevinward777]

If Trent eventually wins a GF or a minor premiership then that would change. But let’s see him win one first hey. Until such time all we have to go on is his past form. That’s the fact.

 

[Eagles2nv]

He didn’t fit in at Manly and ****ed if I know how he’ll fit in at the Bulldogs.

Doomed to fail IMO.

He'll fit into the dogs perfectly as the club is a failure.
