So surely that includes a payout as well?? We are just a small club with no resources how we afford to pay out so many coaches ffs?!!


FMD you’re a whinger mate. It wasn’t that long ago, everyone in here was talking Barrett up, and what a stellar job hes done at the dogs and manly.

This is the Parramatta way and motto…. “We will take in the shit and give them home”

Brad Arthur
Trent Barrett
Nathan Brown
Paul McGregor

Are these jokers for real? Not only do we have a coach with no freaken idea, he hires more brain dead failures with no idea. Who the frig is running the place?

Who do you think that we should have in these positions? Wayne Bennet? Paul Carrige? Roy Spagnolo? Knuckles? The Plumber?

“I reached out to Trent virtually a week after he was sacked to see what his plans might be moving forward,” Eels coach Arthur said on Thursday.

“We had a brief discussion [and I told him] when he was considering what his next option might be in the coaching ranks that he should give me a call.

“I spoke to him not long ago and he’s going to come on board for us next year and work closely with our halves and he’ll take full reins with our attack.

“I knew he probably wanted to take a bit of gardening leave there for a while. I just wanted to make sure that I expressed my interest and I wanted to see what his options might be moving forward.

“That’s why I rang him again a few weeks ago to see where he was at with it, and he seemed keen. We met for a couple of hours and it was sorted within a couple of days so he was obviously pretty keen to work with our playing group.”


Arthur said that Barrett’s involvement in Nathan Cleary’s rise was just another reason to bring him over, with the former Bulldogs coach to mentor Moses and Brown.

“I think our attack is fine. It’s just a bit of fine tuning and working closely with our halves,” Arthur said.

“He’ll be able to talk with them about his experiences in the game and some leadership stuff and how to get them around the field.

“Obviously, you’ve seen the stuff he’s done with Nathan at the Panthers, so he can only help with our investment in our two halves and our whole spine.”

Exactly my thoughts. I wonder why BA wouldn’t consider someone like Seibold? I think he has plenty to offer. Is it because he is a chance of being a NRL first grade coach again? He is a former NRL coach of the year and has already achieved more than BA has. I’m almost certain he has reached a preliminary final with Souths.
Doesn’t that just show you that winning any single game means nothing as far as coaching ability? Also shows Souths are a very strong club with bulk resources. They won a premiership with Maguire as coach ffs. It’s a team game, and the coach is just another cog. Some of the players get paid more than him.

What are your thoughts on the T-Baz's appointment.

Was it the best we could do or would you have preferred to look somewhere else.

Barrett is basically damaged goods atm and a bit of running joke considering what he has done to Manly & Canterbury.
Have you seen the assistants at some of the bigger clubs? Barrett is more than qualified to be an assistant coach.
