Upgrade Barrett now!!!

[Ryan]

If Barrett says ANYTHING about being 12-12 in the second half, he's lost me as a supporter. ONE THING !

Ryan has hit the nail on the head. Cleary has turned a rabble into contenders with a few astute buys and transforming the defence, after losing 3 big names from the squad. Barrett although he did ok last year, has not improved our side at all. He has made some really dumb decisions like letting Blake green go before we had a replacement signed messed about with 5/8 position for 2 out of three years. Barrett is probably not a first grade standard. I say that as a different person to the guy who hated him for replacing Toovey, back then I hated him for being Trent Barrett. now I am baseing it on his teams performances, only for Parra and raiders being putrid we would be looking really bad right now.

It wasn’t Barret’s decision to “let Green go” we didn’t have the $$offerred by the Warriors and he made it clear if we blocked him going to NZ that he would not perform for us

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

And the outfit has been hamstrung by the off-field stuff.

That isn’t his fault.

Agree with this. Besides, there's just no point keeping a player who wants to be somewhere else.

Trent Barrett just said in presser “we had no ball in the first half and were really gassed. But we never gave up, I thought it was a good effort by the boys to almost win the second half. Lachlan Croker in particular stood up in that second half, he’s a tough little bugger”

Why wasn’t uate hooked from the field? We had an able replacement on the bench. Especially straight after the half time spray and uate knocks on with first touch. TB is not a coach that makes tough decisions. Uate has been poor this year and today’s effort was embarrassing from him

NoOOoOOooooooo!!! Honestly, I wanted to dislike that post, but didn't want you thinking I related it to you. FFS Trent, show some pride. The Tigers clocked off.

That is crap we had the money he chose Thompson not signing him we could have easily extended Green which is all he wanted.
Keep telling yourself that we try to sign Moylan and Pearce and have no money for an extension. Yeah right.

If you listened to Baz’s presser you’d realise that he is passionate and everything he said had merit.
It’s the majority of the 17 peanuts on the field that didn’t have a dig when the going got tough.
14-0 to be losing at half time would’ve been admirable for the half that it was. But they went to sleep and let another 2 in.

Mate I’m only taking the p1ss, I haven’t heard the presser yet.

I think it’s safe to say that he’ll be playing for Blacktown next week.

Pretty sure Green wouldn't of helped us to a win today.

I said in the game day thread that I think Gould sold Bozo a dummy with Barrett. Let me explain.....

2013 - Penrith Panthers win the U/20's comp
2014 - Penrith Panthers U/20's finished 9th
2015 - Penrith Panthers win the U/20's comp
2016 - Penrith Panthers were U/20's Grand Finalists.

The year they finished 9th was the year they were coached by Trent Barrett.

When the Panthers U/20s missed the finals, Gould got Barrett out of there and put him as Ivan Cleary's assistant in first grade for 2015, somewhere he wouldn't be in charge of major decisions. By that time it was known that Tooves was on borrowed time at Manly and that's when Gould contacted Bozo and started selling him on Barrett as this wonderful coach. And as they were mates Bozo had no reason to believe that Gus was leading him up the garden path.

Manly have literally gone backwards with Barrett as coach. His record as of the end of today's game stands at 56 games, 24 wins, 32 losses. That's a winning percentage of just 42.8%

 

[The Royal Soup]

What an absolute pile of **** press conf from Barrett

Basically all he said was we need to be better.... well no ****!!!!

DCE said he had lovers tiff with Hastings before Barrett cut him off

Crap coach and a load of crap really

He should have ripped the team hard and the players but instead he’s all buddy buddy

Sack Barrett ASAP!!!

 

[bob dylan]

It’s time

Bring back
Des

Admit they were wrong and bring back Toovey.

 

[Jigzkiller]

Admit they were wrong and bring back Toovey.

Never do that they are cowards who white anted the champ. Never forget they released stories and embarrassed him when he appeared on nrl360. They are getting karma now sadly we have to pay the price for them ****ting on a legend.

Tooves sacking had more to do with being offside with the Penn's rather than his coaching ability, unfortunately while ever the Penn's are running the show we've got no chance of seeing Tooves back at Manly.

This.

Tooves was collateral damage for being seen as on the Quantum side of the owners group. His winning percentage as Manly's coach, which included taking us to a Grand Final we got screwed out of winning, was 58% compared to Barrett's 42.8%
