Judging by Matt's body language after Thursdays game, indicates that he may not want to go to the dogs.
Ya think?

Now we know why the Bulldogs wanted Burton Asap. The longer this shit goes on he will change his mind :)
I thought Barrett was suppose to solve their attacking woes?
No points in 2 weeks, ouch.

And no win is three games. Burton is obliged to fulfill his contract, unless the Bulldogs will grant him a re-lease, which will not happen.

Made no sense that he got all the credit for 2020.

Api was the key to unlocking our attack, followed closely by Nathan being given ownership of the team and having a half he had a great combination with since being kids.

Barrett no doubt helped our players in areas of their game. But i always felt he was just lucky in his timing of arriving here. Ibe never gotten over his failure as our 20s coach. His time at Manly wasn't very good.. he had some genuine guns in his team that could win games regardless.

I think he's a great assistant coach who can help players improve areas of their game. Or he would be if he wasn't so quick to take better opportunities anyway. If he wanted back though I wouldn't take him. He cant jump at opportunities quick enough and he uses his in with us to ficus on our guys at new clubs. f**k him.

I hope Matt can renege? I honestly believe he realizes his error.

There is precedent with players like DCE and Steve Turner signing with the Titans and then backing out. But I don't see it happening here, he will go to the Doggies in 2022. He will be able to continue his development at the Panthers this year as this will not be his only appearance this year as he will pick up a few more during Origin, but you never know, he could be a regular part of the 17 within the next few months anyway, particularly if someone like May gets injured.

Getting rid of Maloney the handbrake was the biggest thing

Or there's a clause which stipulates that if Barrett is sacked, and that will happen, he can back out.

I know this is la la land stuff, i would take him back as an assistant provided he is willing to remain that. At the time last year I doubted that Trent was the sole reason that the attack was so good.

I believe the advent of Api has more to do with our attack improving. I'm also loving how he is influencing youg Mitch Kenny is his role (now that api is ingured) Kenny's game has gone to a whole new level.

A clause? Well if there isn't one, the media will invent one.
Barret was practically installed by the Daily Telegraph. Now he belongs to them , they can do whatever they wish with him.

And how good is it not have all his missed tackles every game.

As a comparison, Luai had to make 28 tackles against the Storm, and did it at over 90%. Having two halves that are decent defenders has certainly made a huge difference

That young fullback they got looked so good playing for south’s at the end of last year. Now he looks terrible imo. No doubt he has a lot of talent but playing in a side that bad it’s hard to look good.
