Barrett and Fulton have had him sacked
Good question. I miss his dry sense of humour, and quick wit. I thought he'd be back by now.

Living in the demountable.
Early was this time last year!
Whats done is done and I've got nothing at all against TB but in retrospect I think it may have been wiser to have bought him into the club as Tooves understudy for a few years. The idea of Tooves and Barrett appeals to me much more than Barrett and Cartwright show.
Kind of a pity that ego's often overrule common sense.

Hopefully he's just taking a break to work on some fresh material.

So now TB will use suspensions and Injury's as an excuse when we are 0:2 after this weekend
How you will be if we are 0/8 will be something to behold!!

Yes zero attacking structure as per usual..headless chooks for the main but special mention defensively. Thought our edge defence actually marked up well and looked a lot more solid than last year.

Except that we had no line speed in defence and spent most of the game waiting for the parra players to come to us before we tackled tem
Same issue as last year
What did barrett have the team doing over the summer? Obviously not catching the ball or moving up in defence.
Poor line speed is usually caused by poor fitness levels. Go and watch the St Merge V Riff game from last weekend and check the St Merge line speed, it was impressive.
I think it's safe to say there will be blood spilt.

The Manly side starting this year is better than the Manly side starting 2016. Right through the trials, 9s and now round 1, there was more commitment, and much firmer defence. I think Barrett is getting there gradually, though I suspect he needs to rethink some of his favouritism for ex Penrith players he brought across. To be fair we should give him to Round 10 or 11 to see if what looks to be improving continues with several wins. If not I would be going for Cleary.

There is no A.I. Just better computers
13.83% of statistics are made up.
That said what Barrett's winning %
