Story: Trent Barrett talks about DCE, Coaching, etc

[globaleagle]

Yep, but that would have been the right way to say it rather than put it in terms of Jamie playing well.
That's why I said teeny mistake because I reckon being interviewed where you always had to choose your words carefully would be a nightmare.
Makes me extremely grateful to be a Nobody!

Yeah but your our nobody! 🙂

Wow, his words are picked apart syllable by syllable. Last week he was criticised for saying Manly wanted to beat the Roosters.
Pettifogging!

And I defended that. My concern here is for the club getting salary cap relief. If you'd read a few further posts you would have seen that. My bad for not writing an essay in the first place!

Haha and Barrett's bad for not having someone vet his speech beforehand!
I take your point about the cap but don't see his words as causing any problem there, as someone (Loobs?) explained on the previous page

However we may feel about him, anyone here willing Barrett to fail is wanting Manly to fail IMO.

Remember, if he fails as our coach then we aren't winning games.

I'm not willing him to fail, but I fear and suspect that he will. There is a big difference between the two. Hoping against hope that he has some clue on how to coach and that we can turn this all around this season. Hasler is gone and is yesterdays man and I don't see any prospect of a successful return. If the L-Plater fails, then what?????

Maybe a new L-Plater with a famous surname and another experiment on player turnover 😕😳

Here is Baz in his own words:

Asked if there was any resentment, he added: “Not at all. Jamie was one that was pretty much up to him. He was playing well.

“And with those three blokes I am not much older than them and I played with and against them so they were conversations where I can take my coach’s hat off and give them some advice or an opinion as a mate and give it honestly and unbiased.

“And that is the way I handled it. It has all worked out pretty well.

“But again, it did take a lot of time thinking about how I would handle it because the repercussions on the group can be pretty heavy. I do think a hell of a lot about how certain things do affect the group and the club.

“We had that dominant era of the Stewarts and King, Jamie Lyon and Matai and Beaver was here for a long time.

OK so our coach is calling a couple of club legends old and fat and then veers off on a weird, sexual tangent...

Blake Austin as the lead picture?
Blake Green maybe....I spose it is a Blake and he is in Green....close enough.

Barrett is out of his depth, just a Bozo and Penn puppet, is a nervous coach, has no idea, simply a "yes" man, has no respect from the players, just warming the seat for Dessy the saviour,

Feel free to add more

Lmao. 3 or 4 of you got it
