The supreme irony would be the appointment of Barrett as interim head coach - if Brad is sacked before season’s end - with three former Manly players that he either did not want at Manly (Gutherson, Lussick), or who left in dismay (Lane)* in the Parramatta squad.Manly need to be careful with this one coming up. The Eels have copped flack from their coach, the media, no doubt their fans. They cant afford to drop the ball on this one. I suspect it will be close.
*In response to Barrett’s noted (cough) man management skills during and after the ‘Hastings affair’.
