Gone Tonight

[BOZO]

He's a good bloke mate - passionate Manly supporter. I don't always agree with him but he's 100% maroon & white.

Too right Jerry. @Mark from Brisbane is a good guy and like all of us on here he has Manly at heart.
Come to think of it ............
everyone in their own right is a good guy on this forum . After all they all are Manly supporters .

Legit question

I am at a fundraiser so had to tune out when we were up 22-6 (I think)

What happened? We looked like scoring 50

What happened ?
Ill tell you what the happened
The Titans players gave it their all for their coach . That's what happened !

 

[BOZO]

I never backed any horse, my angst is with the club as a whole.

Doesn’t matter who is coach whilst the ownership is the same we are ****ed!!

I just don’t happen to think it all rests with one man.

Disagree mate . At the peak of the boardroom battles Des won premierships
A quality coach does make a big difference .
Now go and have a beer and chill out and smile from ear to ear

 

[nightster]

Seriously what did happen??

the Tits got some ball and attacked!

I can’t recall a darker day for the club. They should pay Trent out this weekend and have Geoff Toovey start first thing Monday morning.

Manly can't blame a lack of resources for this. It's a lack of something else.#NRLManlyTitans

 

[nightster]

Miserable because he so so far out of his depth. Who decided to sign him as there is nothing there to show that he is an nrl standard coach

Gus Gould conned whoever signed him up, into believing he would make a huge impact ,he has but unfortunately at the wrong end of the scale

Trent was a rookie coach with potential .
We have seen enough of his potential
We wont see any club that is looking for a head coach looking at Trent that's for sure

 

[Michael Clare]

Only des and tooves as coach and assistant coach can save this club

Des and Tooves get my vote every time, but it most likely won't happen I'm afraid.

 

[Stevo]

Carty will be coaching for the next two games then...........

Good. If he wins the next two games then let him coach next year too.

never say NEVER...

Situation is untenable. Best if he did leave now.

Our defence is non existent. This team has become very hard to watch.

I have no confidence in any part of this club on or off the field.

I don’t think I’ve ever said this but I wish the season ended tonight.

It ended weeks ago.

 

[Brissie Kid]

Get Malcolm Reilly and lock the team inside the Narrabeen gates with him for the last 2 games.

Interesting view from @readingtheplay:

Barrett seems untouched in all the debacle at Manly. Yet he has spent much of last 18 mths talking to other potential clubs about his next coaching role (inc Bulldogs, Rabbits, Panthers & others) - maybe a focus on coaching & the task at hand & not his ego was required? 1/4 #NRL⁠ ⁠

Barrett released Green against best advice. Splintered his playing group over Hastings. Lost on occasions many of his group over his questionable focus elsewhere.. The club ownership, funding, politics, & shambolic admin has much to answer for, but so does Barrett.. 2/4 #NRL

The latest stalemate & media leaks & posturing is due to Barrett seeking a severance payout, after he gave notice many months ago. He’s been told (rightly) to stick it where the sun doesn’t shine. So, …once a win or two arrived the leaks & destabilising started, again.. 3/4 #NRL

Reality might be that the coach has always put himself first? Is it all about him, his success, his next deal? No doubt he’s surrounded by a complete mess, there is blame everywhere but don’t for a minute think he hasn’t had a significant role in it all. 4/4

I've always been perplexed how Barrett seems to slide through the media unscathed while every single other entity in the club is drawn into question.

Mind you he did it as a player also, despite perennial failure. It must be the 6 pack abs and chiselled jawline that prevents comment on such a specimen.

 

[HappilyManly]

I still want Cartwright and to a lesser degree, Randall to be reviewed.
What are their responsibilities and who holds them to it

Manly have had a succession of assistant coaches but only Cartwright was kept on with Baz - why

 

[Simonmyers11]

Just bring back the old manly team of des and tooves and don. Dez took no bull**** and got things done and ran the club with no excuses. He can rebuild.

 

[The Royal Soup]

Is he gone yet?

 

[HappilyManly]

Is he gone yet?

From Brookie yes, but Baz's farewell tour will visit Campbelltown and Bris Vegas this month

 

[mave]

Interesting to see some media starting to question Barrett, which is good to see.
He has had a pretty free ride up until now.
