Trent: I helped build Manly's revival

[BOZO]

As Terry Zarsoff (in the third person) would say, you are one sycophantic sexist.

You could have your own cartoon strip in Viz: Bozo the Sexist.

I am not quite sure what you mean there feathered friend but it does sound very colorful and funny

 

[Chip and Chase]

It was definitely a 2018 Barrett like performance tonight. Out enthused, directionless, leaderless and clueless. A manic 5 minute period nearly snatched it for us in spite of ourselves. All we needed was the vacant staring and chin rubbing at the presser.

Danny Weidler gives him a whack in his column tomorrow:

Trent Barrett is in serious need of a good public relations person, because he is doing himself out of a head coaching job with his poorly thought-out views that have made his name mud at Manly.

His attempt during the week to claim credit for Manly’s surge up the table this season has also done damage to his reputation among rival clubs. Barrett reached significant heights as a player, and he was on a similar path in his coaching career, until he had to really knuckle down and ride through a tough period.

Barrett began to question the roster he had at Manly and lost the support of the club’s godfather, Bob Fulton, the man who had championed him. But instead of rising to the challenge, Barrett blamed everything for his and the team’s demise in a shocking public whinge after he told the club he wanted out. His approach didn’t go unnoticed, and it will make it tough for him to convince another club to take a gamble on him as head coach.

The real problem at Manly was the way Barrett positioned himself. He wanted to be a brother-like figure to the players. He liked drinking with a select few. He presided over a side that was split: by the drinking and other issues.

What the Sea Eagles needed was a more experienced, fatherly influence, which is why Des Hasler has been so successful.

Very early in his second coming as Manly coach, Hasler was confronted by a messy domestic violence situation involving star player Dylan Walker. Hasler was due to be at a swanky function on the night Walker was charged.

Instead, he went to Manly police station to pick up Walker. Not a club official or his agent, the first-grade coach. It said it all about Hasler. Walker was subsequently acquitted.

Having been paid $50,000 a month by Manly to do nothing as his contract expired, Barrett tried to claim credit for the success Hasler is having at Manly this season. The Sea Eagles are not happy. It was seen as a massive insult to Hasler. Barrett narrowly avoided the club’s first wooden spoon in 70 years, while Hasler has lifted almost the same side to fifth.

Barrett also presided over the Daly Cherry-Evans–Jackson Hastings incident in Gladstone. Hastings was driven out of the club and is now in the UK Super League after a late-night drinking session at a Gladstone strip club ended in a confrontation with DCE. Barrett was out with the players for at least part of that evening.

Barrett also made some rookie errors when he was given the reins of the football department after Fulton’s departure.

He was warned not to release Blake Green to the Warriors until he had secured the signature of Mitchell Pearce. Convinced he had Pearce, Barrett let Green go and the club lost a successful halves combination. But Barrett still had a roster most young coaches would welcome: Cherry-Evans, Jake and Tom Trbojevic, Marty Taupau, Addin Fonua-Blake and Walker. A roster that has gone to the next level under Hasler.

I tried to contact Barrett, but he did not respond.

Thanks @Mitch

Congratulations Danny Weidler for writing accurate and detail events of Trents tenure at Manly .

Rothfields Typical and Mythical article supporting Barrett on Manlys success this year typifies the garbage he fills News limited papers with .

It is no surprise Trent did not make him self available when Danny Weidler contacted him because he is known not to make him self accountable when ever he is put on the spot .

Every picture tells a story ......
Trent in a typical " I have no fcking Idea " 2018 press conference. mode .
The year he was so full of him self and decided to go solo and as a result he turned the great Manly club into a wooden spoon contender

Rothfields Typical and Mythical article supporting Barrett on Manlys success this year typifies the garbage he fills News limited papers with .

Rothfield's running true to form.
"In March, Beattie’s tenure as chairman expires and the independent commission has to decide whether to take up a two-year extension option on Greenberg’s $1.5 million-a-year contract.
All this is happening in a massive year for the game with a decision to be made on expansion and planning for the next TV deal.
Beattie told The Sunday Telegraph he was uncertain about staying.
His progression plan is to install Peter V’landys as chairman but he may decide to run for another 12-month term to be certain he has the numbers for the Racing NSW boss.
Greenberg’s position is interesting. For starters there are no standout candidates who could do a better job but his relationship with the commission is at times testy.
The game right now is going OK but not brilliantly. TV ratings are good and crowds are steady. However, there is outrage over the football department, the judiciary, match review committee and referees."

FMD, no better candidates, the toadfish I caught this morning would do a better job than Greenberg and it could do Rothfields job in it's spare time.

On a more important note, someone should tell Barrett that unless you have a hairy chest, it’s better to leave the top button done up.

Why highlight the ‘girly man’ look?

Opens the door for Cam Smith to attain his rightful position.

Maybe Barrett will throw his hat in the ring for NRL CEO. Anyone know what kind of chairs they have at NRL HQ?
