The King and the Fool

[Kevinward777]

Barrett said in press conference.

• We were robbed with the Turbo try.
• We were robbed with the hair pull.
• We couldn't win the game under those circumstances.
• Manlys last try was a fluke.

Okay Trent - let's erase those 8 points for you. BUT - Manly bombed four tries. Manly had a forward unjustly sent to the bin. Your fifth tackle options were appalling. Your team was given a lot of leeway in the ruck. Your team was given a lot of leeway in the 10m rule. One of your tries was a fluke from the kick-off. As a coach, Baz is weak and it filters down to his teams.

Des said in press conference.

• We were a bit off.
• Too many errors.
  - Canterbury turned up today.
• We did what we needed to.
• Thanks and see ya next week.

The two responses show the difference in the class of coach.

Barrett doesn't know what taking responsibility means. It's always someone else's fault that he can't coach.

The Kennel is pretty hilarious this week. Over 70 pages in their game day thread and almost all of them complaining about the refs. Somehow they seem to have forgotten that their team is terrible and had no chance of winning today.

They've all been sprinkled with the Barrett dust.

To be fair other than the sin binning I do think we got the rub of the green with the refs

Bull Dust?

It's hard to judge that. The stats would make it look that way but the Dogs' entire defensive gameplan involved being offside all game. They were lucky to not be pinged more.

Perhaps, but Baz was carrying on like those decisions cost them the game, which is why his teams have all been so weak. They can never handle adversity - same thing happened when he coached Manly.

 

[The Wheel]

Does he realize they lost by 18 points?

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Barrett goes on about his teams errors they stay in the contest , Well that goes for both sides If Manly didn’t make there errors Manly could have been up by 30 in the first 1/2 , They had there chances and just weren’t good enough manly were poor but good enough to get the win

Bulldogs haven't beaten Manly since Baz was coach.

The first no try should have been a penalty at least.
Kick at with the boot

Absolutely, I think Des was the last Dogs coach to record a win

 

[MadMarcus]

Barrett’s a great coach. Gee we miss him.

 

[Spartan Eagle]

It's pretty sad when a 1/3 of your season's points have come from a bye, you have the worst attack, the worst defence in the league and your club's culture is actually dogsh't and you can still find the audacity to spray the referees after each loss. He needs to stop, pause and take a closer look in the mirror.

 

[The Who]

All of Manly's Bunker overrules looked tries in normal speed. The on field ref thought so.
The NRL has really stuffed up this sport. First by introducing the Bunker; secondly by making all these rule changes; thirdly by allowing players to fake injuries to gain penalties... and since when was it a penalty to momentarily grab onto a hair plait?
RL has become a joke.

 

[Eagles4Life]

****. I just wasted another five minutes of my life reading another Barrett excuses thread. The excuses never change, and clearly I will never learn.

Even if ruled no penalty for accidental if Meaney knocked it out with his foot then Garrick didn’t knock it on.
Meaneys boot knocks it out towards our try line and then Garrick grounds it, should have been a try imo.

Every Barrett press conference is the same...........................its always someone else's fault!
