Upgrade Barrett now!!!

[Shnorky]

On the plus side, he is only 160 minutes from turning it all around again

Are manly playing tonight?

 

[The Who]

I miss Tooves.

I miss Tooves' tackling.
The modern player could learn so much from watching old footage of him tackle - Jake excluded.

Surely this is plucked out of the writers a*s

Wasn't Barrett recently in an interview about the positive influence Bozo had on him as a young coach, i.e to make the tough decisions and not dwell on things?

All depends on if Manly are in talks about an extension to Barrett's current contract. It's all been pretty hush hush till now.

Why wouldn't the Dogs announce it now?
1. They won't be playing finals footy
2. Would further affect Manly's run into the finals and we know they love to stuff us around given an opportunity
3. Would give themselves a popularity boost with their members/supporters

I surely hope so,I have come to like TB, he had the players playing for Him as a coach

But for weeks now we as a team have been a completely different team to early rounds, we all see it.

I really hope this rumour is just that , a rumour and TB can coach us for a few more years yet, if we go back to Des all the work TB has done will be lost.

Hopefully just a rumour but it does coincide with our form slump

Who wrote this ? Obviously a Dogs fan, but just a forum contributor ? We have all seen on here that anyone can make sweeping statements like this claiming it to be fact, when its not.

How could the Dogs afford Cronk?
There are other rumours suggesting that their deal with Woods is problematic because they are over the salary cap.
The only reliable Rumours I've heard is from Fleetwood Mac.

When it comes to any Storm player, including Gooper Gronk, thunder only happens when it's raining.

He's a Dogs supporter and in tight with Gerard Conden from Reading the Play. His rumours are wrong more often than right.

Barrett concerned me last year but gave him the benefit of the doubt. He has done really well this year and has us heading in the right direction.

If this is true, Bozo has finally lost the plot!

Why would you destabilize the team again when we seemed to be coming together nicely? If there was a call made 2 weeks ago and the players were made aware of it, the "floggings" make sense. Pretty hard to play for the coach and your team mates in that scenario.

 

[joeboy]

Lot of smoke around this rumour, but user snake posted a pretty definitive rebuttal a few days back, saying barret was close to signing an extension with us.

I wanna keep him too, and I hope he is sticking around, but as said, it does coincide with how the team is playing at the moment.

 

[MANLY4LIFE]

Im not 100% sold on him just yet if we make finals this year (i dont expect much more then that) ill call it a successful year after last years effort !

But this form slump is killing me and making me doubt him again i hope im wrong ....

 

[The Royal Soup]

Barrett is gone

Won't be coach next year

 

[MANLY4LIFE]

Aslong as scott doesnt take over lol!

I wouldnt miss twenty that much tbh id rather a manly bloke behind the wheel again.

So tight it's like the Moon landings in'69.

If this is true and the players know then it's season over.

 

[Bearfax]

If this is true then what is it with Manly in the last few years? Are they on self destruct intentionally? Just when they seemed to have a coach who looks the goods, they let him go? If so what the heck are they doing? I'm getting close to giving them a miss. If they cant get their act together. I'll go and watch net ball. And I'm serious. I'm sick of the political childishness and it seems to me the women know how to keep things on an even keel far better.
