mate, he hasn't been involved at our club since 1993 I think..he had a season or 2 at the Roosters after that. coaching record?? no idea!!

From memory isn't Justin Morgan the HKR coach?? if so, he may of played with him at Parra in the early 90's.

yes mate justin morgan is the coach, and we have a former parra player in James webster.
Just won the finals to get in to the national league grand final, if they win that they will be in super league next year. So Justin is doing a fantastic job at Hull kr

Played his junior football in the Parra district (initially at Guildford I recall) and made grade at Parramatta as a hooker/five-eighth in the early nineties.

Had a smart football brain and although not the fastest and not the largest player he was solid. Reddish/Blonde hair and a good trainer.

I remember I got Barnes' autograph in person when I was 6, while he was playing for Parra. I didnt know who he was, but then saw him on TV scoring a try I was cheerin. :D

Barnes was 5/8 in 89, hooker in 90/91.....Played a year at Easts in 93, in his comeback game ironically against Parra in 93...Brett Kenny scored an intercept of hi spass to make it 12-2 at half time, we ended up wining 18-2, Barnes im pretty sure retired at the end of the year.

Wasn't a bad player though, very solid.

I know Barnes played some local junior footy for a team at Greystanes as well and played with Andrew Fitzhenry (Penrith '87, Parra '89 - '92), Danny Crnkovich (Parra '87 - '95) and Danny Farrar (Penrith '93 - '97).
Greg Drake (Parra '91) also played at the same jnr club but was a year behind the above. There was also a St George lower grade player (Mark McLean) who played in the same junior team. No wonder they won a few comps at the time.

Mark Barnes definately had blonde hair & he is no relation of Jimmy as far as I am aware. (Barnes not Webster)
