In my time supporting the Sea Eagles there are only two signings that I can recall thinking that they had red flags all over them before their time with us began
1) Replacing a very capable legend in Geoff Toovey with a young and untried first grade coach with no previous ties to our club. All of this while the club was going through emotional turbulence. This particular decision to appoint Trent as coach is as absurd as it gets
2) Nate Myles. I was so uninspired with his signing that I put him on the bench in my YART as soon as we had signed him. He was supposed to be a marquee signing earning something like 500k and one poster on here questioned me on why I didn’t have him in the starting lineup. To be perfectly honest, he was lucky to even make my bench
It’ll be great to see the Trent Barrett saga finished at the end of this month. It was a decision that was totally the club’s fault and they compounded his appointment by allowing 12 months notice to finish up. Thankfully they have kicked massive goals in the right direction since getting Dessie back
