The Loss To The Tigers Was Through No Fault Of Our Own.

[castle eagle]

Watch the video of today's team announcement. After the teams are announced, Trent Barrett actually says "we lost through no fault of our own". We are in much deeper trouble than I thought.

how many "yeah-nah"'s were in the video?

 

[damiennp90]

He's just sticking behind his players. Especially to the media.

We don't know what he's saying behind closed doors.

We don't know what he's saying behind closed doors.

I'm pretty sure he is saying yeah/nah behind closed doors too, its not just an act for the cameras.

Only 2 yeah / nah .... and if he thought we lost through not fault of our own then he's dreamin'

I'm not blaming it on sunshine....or the moonlight....or the good times.

I blame it all on the boogie.

I wonder if Trent likes to drink Pina Coladas in the rain?

I imagine he likes health foods and has half a brain.

Imagine if Siro hadn't gone off with a hammy in the first 5 minutes.
Manly would have had to play 17 on 17

There is defending your players and then there is defending your players....

We lose to Cronulla next week then I'd fully expect Trenty to take a leaf out of his former team mate and coach extraordinaire Nathan Brown's book (at least he's got an excuse, there nearly all nevilles), and announce we are actually on a two year rebuilding exercise....so expect more of the same crap you saw on Monday night for a fair bit longer. Patience peoples!

I went straight for the scary button then realised we don't have one. Dan?

We have the cattle in our squad to finish top 4. Barretts agenda is not to pick the strongest team available its to pick his team with his daredevil mask on and to show the world he has arrived as an nrl coach. The amazing mentor who turned williaint into a rep player after 38 straight losses. The man who headhunted a fringe centre at the dragqueens and turned him into a fearsome butterfingered backrower. The man who reversed the trend of locks becomming props like gallen and parker and instead turning legend props like jake into locks. I know i am also amazed by his innovative ways to deconstruct the defensive line and instead replace it with a zone defence that isolates players on the goal line.

.....whew......whacking.............at first glance you had me bloody worried!

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

You know, whacking, like.. slapping hard to the face etc

For a second there, I thought you were predicting he would start slapping players down on the sidelines.

 

[manlyfan76]

I really think that Barrett has a plan to experiment with the NRL, he has a plan about how to play the game and doesn't care for early season wins. He wants his system to prevail at the cost of season 2016.

F@cking would've loved to have seen him run down at full time and bitch slap Tafua across the face half a dozen times, then in his face, that's for how many tackles you missed bitch!
(Pretty sure Zoolander wouldn't be breathing at this stage), but it's a nice vision.
