No idea what these rumours are but I've had this sneaking suspicion that someone will be brought in over the top of Barrett.

If i was Penn it's what i would do

Me neither, but from all the conjecture here this is an interesting line from Trent's wiki 🙂.........

"In October 2012, Barrett announced he had signed a deal with the Penrith Panthers as an assistant coach alongside Ivan Cleary"

If not 'someone' over the top of Barrett I'm sure the keys to bozos cement truck would be lying around somewhere...
 
Look one thing is clear, Barrett won’t be there in 2019.

Cartwright will be, but in what capacity is currently unknown.

Patience is a virtue ( for all of us ) I reckon we’ll know just after the GF!!
 
I'm happy to read the rumours. @Mark from Brisbane has cleary, I mean clearly, stated that he believes the rumour is a long shot that he wasn't confident about.

If the rumour is right I'm glad to have had the heads up, if it is wrong, I am accepting that that was the likeliest outcome.


lol, we'd all be happy enough to 'read the rumours' but at the moment there's no rumours to read. "I've heard a rumour that I can't repeat here" is different to say......

I've heard a rumour that Manly are in the final stages of getting Cleary Sr as next years coach, Manly are in the final stages of negotiations to get Bryce Cartwright down from the titans, Manly have almost succeeded in signing a big name forward from the UK, and the salary cap appeal has been won, Manly are now waiting to see if the nrl will accept the QC's decisions.

So, I guess I'm on team @Batty for this one.

Well that’s ticking a few boxes right there isn’t it!!
 
dunno. Is it? wink wink wink say no more, say no more!

Too much maple syrup perhaps.

Cleary one of these is the mentioned rumour both @strone33 and @Mark from Brisbane have come across @;)
 
I like Mark’s approach, makes it sound more credible that he has to maintain someone’s confidence by not blabbing, and gives a positive vibe by enabling me to think, wow something good might be int the pipeline.
So I am I the Mark camp, not the Batty/GE camp.

Actually whenever people purport to give out confidential info here it makes me suspicious. Like ... why would they have told you, they must know you’d just go and blab straight away!!

I appreciate the rumour suggestions Mark. Otherwise I'd have had a month of being depressed about Cartwright as coach. If that still happens, at least I'll have had a month less misery than I would have, so thanks!
 
Rumour or no rumours if three weeks from now or whenever it is finally confirmed that Cartwrong is "head" coach this place is going to go nuts ....

Agree with that.

The only thing that half makes me think what I was told is right is that if it wasn’t there’s little reason not to announce Cartwright last week or the week before!

The fact they haven’t suggests something is brewing.

The Barrett situation I think has no relevance to this, that’s just argy bargy about a payout!!
 
Barrett has agreed to terms and will extend his notice until the end of next season ........

It won't be announced until the promised demands and new staff are actually in place ..... about 2 weeks ... Penn is said to be glad a solution was able to be had ....

Wonderful, wonderful news. You have made my day ....
 
I actually don't mind that one. Would mean the pressure is all on Barrett and the players to deliver. No more excuses. And Barrett would effectively be auditioning for his next role, so even more incentive to deliver.
Yeah, but we all know he's a dud and we've had three years of him ..... if he was going to deliver he would have and we still have the demountables. Those damn demountables are the root of all our problems.

Are you being fair dinkum?

My sarcasm detector isn't working.
 
A media friend of mine claims that Bozo is still heavily involved behind the scenes in the club and Scott Fulton will be assistant coach in 2019 and pushing for the top job in 2020.
If true, at least it would mean Manly has a coach who knows the culture.
What shape the club will be in by 2021 is questionable, however.
