Come on Man. Would you just leave 350k on the table with a family and kids? We have to get real here. This is life, not just The Rugby League team.
Where would Trent go?

I hear he has a role lined up with a Filipino expansion team called the Manila Folders.

It will be a black day in Sadrock when that happens.

I am confused, where did I say just leave the $350K on the table ? He can fight for it if he is entitled to it just like the Penn's have a right to to the same if they believe the opposite.
You leave the part where I actually compliment Barrett and try to pick an argy about doing the right thing by family with something I never fkn said ? C'mon man get real...

2 abysmal seasons mate... and you have posted many times that our roster is at least a top 6 side... so scraping into the finals and going out the door the next week is hardly an amazing result when it gets sandwiched between the sh1t we experienced in 2016 and 2018. You’ve been watching this game for long enough to recognise how appalling our defence was under Barrett... and his record clearly shows that he’s the worst coach in Manly history... kind of says it all really...

IKEA have offered him a job to assemble furniture ... he would be good at that.

Yeah, I know, and I'm a bit of a hypocrite making excuses for him , when I also complain about the club making excuses (and that not being good enough).
What I did like about Barrett (and I guess that means nothing now with him going):
+ Seemed to have a close relationship with the playing group.
+ Seemed to develop players well (Kelly, Trbojevic's, Lane, AFB) etc etc etc all gone on to bigger things
+ Gave youngsters a go (Wright, Parker, Kelly, Suli etc)
+ Players like Thompson said he was a big reason they came here, so he was a drawcard
+ Had a very good reputation by outside sources
+ Had the balls to stick it to Penn, and demand better conditions
+ Has representative experience (City/Country)
+ Was even keeled for most of his tenure
+ Team was constantly up the top of the tables / stats attacking wise
+ Was very passionate about the results and playing group (even went to tears)
+ Experienced players like DCE claiming he was still developing him
+ Wasn't afraid to try things (Wright at Hooker, Walks at 5/8 etc).
Okay, I know there's a flipside to that coin mate, but I guess these are some of the things that endeared me to him.

He is the only guy I know who has resigned, but doesn’t want to leave !

He trailed with them but it didn’t work out. He put a bookshelf together but it fell apart soon as it was subjected to the smallest amount of pressure. Trent blamed the quality of the Allen key.

He looked as though he was too close to the players for his own good and as a result, Des will now be tasked with tearing down Trent’s party culture... Praiising a coach’s innovation for playing Wright at hooker, is like saying someone is revolutionary because they tried playing a 120kg prop at fullback... He only ever seemed to give the young guys a crack when he had no other options... Most of the players you have listed as improving under him are super talented and would have improved under Humphrey B Bear... I see passion differently to you... Tooves is passionate... Barrett just tossed out excuses in the exact same way every single week but rarely found answers... New recruits like Thompson always compliment the coach as one of the reasons why they came to a club... We were the ninth best attacking side this season which is nowhere near the top... Barrett having representative experience means fark all in coaching(aside from SOO), think Bennett, Bellamy and Gould and compare them with Baz, Fittler and Stuart...and his “sticking” it to Penn has very little to do with him having any balls and everything to do with him making excuses for being completely exposed as being out of his depth. You won’t hear the facilities spoken of once by Dessie.

mark hughes has a cleaning business, maybe he can work with hughesy to expand the business to cleaning gyms since he has experience
He should leave his 350k to the poor
