Trent Barrett - Attacking Coach.

[OldPanther]

Thought this deserved it's own topic as it'll be so important for next year.

Nice work on these videos. You should probably get into podcasting.

Cheers. I have no idea where I'm going. Just trying to bring news to fans and have a creative outlet. I don't like the negative journos always dumping on clubs.

So, any chance today was all down to Trent and we can expect to see the team doing that more regularly next year?

Too optimistic?

Without trying to be a downer I wouldn’t look too much into today, the knights gave up, they had they bounce back last week, we looked slick but many top 8 teams would have put 50 on the knights today as well.

I was just thinking that a moment ago.

He is no miracle worker but wouldn't be surprised if he was involved. Why wait?

Be careful being optimistic around here you might get the blame for the clubs struggles.

Hopefully Trent can get some depth in our backline.

The last press conference of 2019 from Ivan had a revealing comment: That Nathan is still learning about how to control and get a feel for the game...it still feels fast for him. He then normalised it by stating his age (21)...sounded fair enough to me.

However where does that lead us if that part of his game isn't addressed in 2020? Sounds to me like something you can't fix at training. He needs more game time/experience and potentially more responsibility.

The 2020 captaincy call is going to be huge. The more I think about it the more it looks like it will be Nathan's. Its a firm statement that he is the leader of the team.

Yeah I featured that in my video which is the original comment.

I'll have to watch the video.

I thought it was important to include since it's such a big part of our success/failure going forward.

I'm sure your videos are fine. And yes he is going to be a huge part of our chances in 2020. Not just as an attacking coach, but as a halves coach. My comments aren't just concerning any doubts about Nathan's ability to act on an overlap, 5th tackle red zone options etc. Game management is a skill that he must start learning.

If you find footage of Nathan kicking a ball into touch please let me know. I can't remember him doing it once this year.

I think this is where Barrett will help. Focusing on only the attack he'll be able to develop these things. He was a half after all.

Is he bringing his garden furniture?

I don't have one of Naden/Crichton in my backline also can't see Whare going so I think it will be ok just need to get stronger starters

 

[franklin2323]

On our attack it isn't so bad until we hit the 20 or off a set start.

Here is what gets me with it. Only ever is short balls to the backrowers then one out. Yeo and Kikau both take a few defenders so cut them out and go to our unmarked winger. Or play short side a few tweeks is all it needs

What he does well is follow gameplans. Just run setplays over and over. He can call them for others to run

Today’s papers have him as front runner for the bulldogs job
There will be some hard decisions to be made at Penrith .Signing theses kids over some of the older guys
James Tamou. Has been offered a 1 year deal he wants 3 years .We have so many young forwards .Give him a time frame to sign the 1 year deal after that with draw it
Josh Mansour not sure what deal he has but allow him to negotiate with other clubs .The dogs will be looking .Use that money on the young backs

 

[tripster]

How long did we sign Barrett for? I assume it was at minimum 2 years?

If a head coaching job comes up.Penrith will release him

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

If a head coaching job comes up.Penrith will release him

and rightly so. Question though does Barrett want the job at the dogs. It doesn't look real stable and lots of factions within the board.
