Barrett to sign with Eels on Wednesday

[Suitman]

He wasn't coming

With Sticky walking out, some developments have happened

But last week, Sticky wasn't going to be coach next year anyway.

:lol: .... this is funny

Sticky only walked last night Suity which has resulted in Barrett thinking twice about his future.

 

[Stagger eel]

has he retired yet?

 

[Gronk]

Haha musical chairs. Hope we end up with a decent player when the music stops.

After watching JT (and to a lesser extent Benji) last night, how good would our team be if we had a player who could run to the line and put a player into a hole.

I know that, but he announced two weeks ago that he wouldn't be coaching there next year, so Barrett already knew he wasn't going to be there. Why would Sticky walking now make any difference?

Maybe the coach blaming the players for "giving up" had something to do with it. The players may think that they are giving 100% and the coach has NFI.

A most likely scenario.

If/when Barrett announces his decision to join us watch the Sharks survival rumours begin again.

They are a rabble. I actually now feel sorry for the club. However some of their so called supporters on these forums can have another sh*t sandwich. Can I now say I told you so.

Yeah I think it was a fair bit earlier than that as well. I think Slothfeilds blog said it was 8 or 10 weeks ago, he made the announcement to ensure Flanno had a good shot a building the team he wanted.

And he's favourite for the Origin gig next year

Mmmm, scary isn't it? He wouldn't be my choice.

[parra-matters]

it's only Tuesday, has Barrett retired yet?

 

[strider]

yeah - i'm a bit confused by ricky walking out early makes any difference to barrett's decision to retire or play for us .... did trent feel he couldn't go on with it all when ricky was around? :lol:

 

[Gronk]

IF it's true that Baz is to sign with us, he has the moral dilemma of when to announce it and to make it sound like he's not abandoning his team mates in their darkest hour.

 

[strider]

are the sharks trying to keep him?

 

[Snoochies]

And on another note, we'll find out on Thursday if we have Noddy or he is retiring as well. On Tactics last week he said he'll have his future decided this week. The way the NRL snubbed him this weekend I wouldn't be surprised if he hung it up.

 

[AlexTheEel]

If noddy did sign with us i highly doubt he'd announce it in the week we play against them.

 

[Parra Steve]

Perhaps Barrett is having 2nd thoughts about retiring? hence why he hasnt offically annouced his retirement yet, just been rumoured in the papers thats what he'll do.

If these guys are thinking that seriously about retirement, then they should do it. Obviously their heart isn't in it any more or else you wouldn't even consider it.
