He was close to the best player in the SOO series. Just goes to show how much talent he has.
Couldn't agree more.
Why cant his club coach get those performances out of him on a regular basis , I wonder. ?

That actually scares the shiitee out of me, I had no idea until Jake mentioned it in n interview. Although they don't need Tom with Ponga. thank godThe 2 boys have always been Newcastle fans so the temptation to play for them would be strong.
On the flip side - with champion players like these boys who bleed Manly ....I see a mentally of determination to turn the club around in its darkest hours, back to the powerhouse they grew up supporting as kids.
Manly will come back, always have in the past and will again and these boys will be integral in the rise to prominence.

Yeh I thought they were local juniors who grew up with Manly blood and even still helped their junior side on weekends ??I was actually interested to hear that they supported Newcastle as kids. Still, they seem pretty committed to me.
I actually was thinking the same thing. The key with this is to get rid of Barrett before they both come off contract or are near coming off contract. That way, Barrett can't take them with him. Although, to be honest, who would give Barrett a job with the way he has managed Manly. I would think he has until Rd 10 next year and if we are not entrenched in the 8 by that stage, something has to give.[/QUOTE
It's not a case of how Barrett managed Manly, it's a case of how Manly has managed itself.
This whole thread is nonsense!! The Turbos will be at the heart of our next great team . They are very young and this current adversity will make them better players. Don't forget how the Stewart bothers, whatmough and co became strong players , because they went through similar adversity. Things will turn again!
Second year syndrome,he will learnIn fact, if we want to be brutally honest with each other, Tom has regressed badly this year. That is indisputable imo.
I'm sure this will somehow be anyone other than Barretts fault though.
