i know i banged on in the Folkes thread about my dream of Trent Barrett being appointed as STGI coach but the more i think about it the more i like it and not just coz ive always been a massive Barrettfan
Baz was/has always been a favourite of mine evn before the merge but ever since he was appointed as Ivan Cleary asst at Penrith at the behest of Gus Gould ive always thought there may be something to Trent as a Coach and after seeing him as Country Coach i was even more int=erested in seeing him in a top job in the NRL
as a player he was a NSW/AUST rep was a great player for us and Illawarra, went over to Wigan and starred over there under Brian Noble a Dally M and Super League player of the year his cv is super impressive
appointing Baz will bring in new blood to the joint, new ideas, who knows what Baz is gonna have to offer a club, he gets plenty of kudos for his efforts at Cronulla where Rick Stuart always praised Barrett's input, Gus and Cleary have a massive wrap on his work at Penrith and with Lauries Origin mob and everyone has wrapped him as Country coach where he is very highly thought of by players and officials
he keeps getting linked to King Henry's job at The FNQ so something must be happening there whether he is being offered up by his manager or the Cows have made enquiries
it would be a media friendly appointment too as well as being a Steelers junior/local for the young blokes coming thru to aspire to and his appointment would be great in that respect
not having any grounding as a lower grade coach or whatever wouldnt even come into it imo, Pricey has been at Saints for 10 years or whatever and is still playing blokes out of position and form but in Trent's case being that he has been so entrenched in elite level footy as a top level player and assistant Coach at and away from the Dragons must be a good thing and while appointing Baz might seem a little Brad Fittler style when he was given the job at Easts i really reckon Baz would be a good appointment Coaching in the NRL and it is something that he really wants and he wants to be a success as a Coach
id hate to see him end up at NQ or anywhere else, i hate seeing him at Penrith tbh and would love to see him back in the fold at Kogarah/Wollongong and appointing him also eliminates the usual suspects, Sheens etc
