Sack Barrett

[NewwyEagle]

Just did some really quick number crunching.
In 105 games, Toovey lost 41 games.
In 68 games, Barrett has lost 41 games.

Barrett could win the last 6 games of this season and go undefeated all of next season and his record still wouldn't be as good as the man he replaced.

And yet I just read an article saying he should be safe for next season. How is this bloke getting a free ride? Why does the media not make him accountable for anything?

Any one read todays Telegraph.

They rated the coaches for 2018/19

Barrett got 7 out of 10, and rated very secure to keep his job for 2019.

I tip Barrett goes this week.
It's just a feeling, but really there is so much a club can take.

Barrett has led Manly to the worst season in the last 50 years. He's a terrible coach.

Sack Barrett. Sack him now.

 

[hozza]

Sack Barrett now!

Barrett is safe until the Penns say otherwise!! Nice bloke, fair player, weak coach. He showed that in Gladstone when he should have come down on the renegade players like a tonne of bricks after they pretty much ignored his instructions. For me, that is when he lost the team and we have won 3 from 15 games since that weekend.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

The time has well and truly come and gone time to save what's left. He must go!

 

[MadMarcus]

After the opposition scores and I look at the coaching box I see our coach shaking his head
I have never seen a coach shake his head so much
Why does he shake his head so much ?
Any one that can read body language on here ?

Ive never seen the opposition score so much...

 

[MadMarcus]

Barrett is the coach we had to have. Somebody please make Manly great again. It’s time for change.
Manly needs YOU

Yes we can! We’ll be moving forward in no time.

(I see what you did there)

Gees it was better when we could at least blame the referee for a loss!

well the ref did miss a blatant knock on just before the panfers scored so did cost us the game 100%.

Trent Barrett’s show of emotion

Trent Barrett has done it tough this year as the Sea Eagles have lurched from one disaster to another.

And it all got too much for the popular former Dragons star before last weekend’s clash with Penrith.

In the team huddle before the game, players were stunned as Barrett burst into tears.

It shows the massive pressure on the shoulders of coaches in the modern game.

Or maybe Barrett had an inkling of his team’s impending collapse against the Panthers!

Either way, rumours continue to grow that he will be at Penrith in 2019 replacing the out-of-favour Anthony Griffin.

Well, he would have a better record, an undefeated season is something special.
So he'd have a Minor Premiership, Premiership and undefeated season on his CV.

Maybe that's all part of the plan, we'll take everyone by surprise next season....under the radar!

That’s just sad really. Could anyone imagine Hasler, Bellamy, Bennett et al breaking down in tears in front of his players before a game???

Give me strength..........

 

[hozza]

My fuc$ing god. How the fuc$ do grown men going to put there bodies on the line get motivated by a weeping coach. Holy sh!t that’s one of the softest things iv ever heard.

We need a real man with real leadership to lead these young men.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Does he need a portable desalination plant draped around his shoulders, so his tears can be put to good use elsewhere in NSW?

Who knows what pressure Baz is under - may not just be work so we should cut him some slack for showing emotion. However, I won't cut him any slack for the way the team are performing.

 

[highlandeagle]

Poor Barrett. Now he feels the same way as us supporters have felt about his coaching for the last 2.5 years.

 

[40 years an eagle]

What a pussy. The only tears from our coach should be ones of joy, at select moments of course.

Weak as p!ss, get rid of him.

I have to agree Jerry. I worked for many years in the mental health field and if Barrett is breaking down as reported, it is concerning. The club has a duty of care to make sure that his well being is a priority.

Just to finish, I have found some of the comments here disturbing, mental health issues should never be the subject matter for jokes. Some of the toughest people I have known have failed to win their battles against mental illness and I have attended enough funerals for 10 lifetimes.

Agree mate. Barrett's not breaking down though. He just wants his troops to lift, and unfortunately, they are out after one of the most humiliating comebacks in history on the piss, celebrating (with my niece), until all hours of the morning like there's no tomorrow, having a fantastic old time. A few weren't there of course. But yeah, not indicative of players who are hurting, OR are supposed to be re-habing.

No wonder Barrett imposed an alcohol ban this week after some of the stories I've been told. Ridiculous attitude from the players. When they bleat about how dedicated and hard working they are....maybe rightfully so...but on the flipside, the attitude and passion leaves a lot to be desired.
