Trent: I helped build Manly's revival

[mave]

We didnt need a revival until this imposter took us to the bottom.

 

[MadMarcus]

It’s a bit like a Brett Kimmorley claiming he’s responsible for Manly coming back out of the Northern Eagles mess.

Barrett coaches so badly the Penns has to swallow their pride and go to Des. Kimmorley played so badly nobody went to the Northern Eagles games.

 

[BOZO]

Memories are made of this ....

Lets Look at the pride shown by Trent in a typical press conference and the emotional state he has on Manlys captain DCE

That is the legacy he left just before he quit .

 

[bob dylan]

He sure did help us.

He is 100% right.

He led us to 15th and forced the owners to sack him.

What more could you ask from a man who's coaching record makes Peter Sharp look like Jack Gibson.

Obviously it easy to pick holes in this article and spit vitriol at Baz...but that can come off as sour grapes and be cast off as your typical "uneducated rugby league fan rant".

But...

I have to say, looking at this article, it is seriously scary how deluded this guy is...he might need a shrink.

"Tommy Turbo had only played 5 games" - what are you implying here Baz? He was earmarked from the time he played under 5's. You didn't have to be much of a talent scout to see where he was going end up?! It is only under Des that he is starting to refine the "attention to detail" aspects of his game instead of relying on raw talent, like he did under your regime for three seasons.

Curtis Sironen? He would have stayed in reserve grade at any other club, the way he played under you. It is only now under Des that he is starting to reach his potential.

In 2017 we had a patchy year under your tutelage...we were far from consistent and got lapped a number of times. Do not try and compare what has happened this year under Des to 2017...we have been consistent, played under duress, won with significant injuries and showed a resolve on our line that was never seen with you at the helm.

You are correct in saying that 2018 was a "write off" because of the off-field stuff, but I question how much of that off-field stuff was a result of the culture you built at the club...

 

[qldeagle]

Oh please TB, you're kidding aren't you. You're delusional if you reckon you've had anything to do with this year's success. It's all about discipline, buying into our Manly culture, respect for authority, and not meeting down the pub for beers with your best mate the coach. You farkwit.

 

[manlyfan76]

Barrett would have been sacked year one had he not played turbo.

 

[Harvies elbow]

I'm not going to take anymore pot shots at an obviously ill, delusional man.
He might be auditioning for a part in a remake of A Beautiful Mind.
Or Shutter Island.
Some people see things others can't.
Either true or false.
Very very sad...

More like weekend at Bernie's

 

[Dee Why Eagle]

Bottom line is...
Just how many suitors have been beating a path to his door?

Thought so

 

[40 years an eagle]

Some people see things others can't.

Well at least we know who Technical Coach is now.

 

[the mauler]

In fairness to Twenty he did help the Manly revival.
It started when he left.

I’d also go as far to say that Tom was defensively a poor fullback under Trent, probably for a couple of seasons. Any numbnut could see Tom was a great attacking weapon. Should never have hired that dud frm the dragons!

Maybe now that he realises his coaching career is over he's looking at other options, someone should tell him that getting into stand up comedy is tough and he will need more than one joke no matter how funny it is

Please go Trent. You have been shown how a real coach gets a team to perform. You are embarrassing yourself even more than your pathetic win/loss record.

“I’m still close to a lot of the boys and stay in touch with them

Continually ringing them and getting their voicemail doesn’t constitute staying in touch with them.

 

[Pittwater Legend]

I’m thinking this was a very deliberate article by the Daily Terrorgraph to try and get under our skins. At least a lot of us are seeing the funny side of it

 

[Rynostradamus]

I heard he took the only positive influence he brought to the club when he left. 6 cheap plastic kmart outdoor chairs.

Maybe he meant he educated the players what not to do. Now fellas dont have any respect for a coach who tries to be your mate, takes you out to the rippers and gets on the piss with ya then takes sides when a couple of you punch on and puts his selfish pride first and picks players out of position in first grade rather than pick the best man for the job. Employ a trainer who uses pickle juice as a training regime.

But most of all ahead of your first game channel some marvel daredevil character and pretend you are in Hollywood rather than the nrl.

Wait thats it you have been acting as a coach for a few years. Some people even bought it. Call Adam Sandler and see if the Longest Yard 2 is in the pipeline and play a young Burt Reynolds.

In Desus we trust.
