Trent Barrett - Muppet coach

[umina panther]

TBaz has got Api playing well...or maybe he just looks soild compared to DCE?

I've tried hard to ignore the fact I hated watching him as a player. Never rated him. Never saw what got him blues jerseys.

He has got nothing positive out of anybody in the squad. I hand on heart believe not a single player has improved this season. That says it all really.

As far as I am concerned, it was a stupid idea to sign a rookie coach for 3 years. Especially straight after a clean out. But the bigger problem is Cartwright. He is there to assist and mentor... Once again he is a coach I never rated as well. Why bring him in? What can he really add to the equation? He doesn't know how big matches are won as a coach, he doesn't know anything about finals footy...

Toovey got a real hard deal. He was handed a busted salary cap to work with, a bunch of players that in all honesty were batting above their weight helped in part by an aging, yet quality back line.

Manly has always really only achieved under coaches that know the club really well, but usually played for the club. I realise it was a political move on Toovey, but Cleary or getting Da$$ler back would have been a better fit.

Another gem of a coaching performance tonight, how good are dummy half runs and one-out passes to someone with no speed? Throw in people never knowing where they're supposed to be on the 4th & 5th tackles and you've got a recipe for success.

The current owners deserve this and more for their hubris. I would take a spoon of ti meant they ducked off forever.

Maybe a 15th, but never a spoon.

But yes, the Penns and fat turd can royally choke on a dick for what they have done.

I still remember Warren Ryan on ABC radio calling Dragons games when Barrett was captain.....he reckoned he was the most overated representative player and ran sideways like a crab. !

Wok did call a spade a spade. Only good games he played were outside A.Johns in Origin.

Scott Fulton had more talent, well if you asked Bozo anyway.

maybe i`ve been a bit too harsh on Barrett. After that mob he had playing last night , cant see anyone improving those plodders. Tafua under high ball, ha . wasn`t going to take long to be found out

He is such a conundrum old Tafua.

Invaluable for his yardage coming out of our end and his strength, but so ordinary under the high ball and some stupid plays in his game.

Would be happy to see him replaced if there are viable options.

Edrick Lee from Canberra apparently a likely addition but who on the other wing?.......

You must be joking. He was exceptional for NSW, much to the frustration of Dragons fans.

Yeah agree with you that he always produced at Origin level.

Wow N Green back in the team, I know were down on troops but seriously...How many small backrowers can you fit in one team...

From all reports, Green has been very good in reserves lately.

But yes, if he comes in punt Leary at the very least and Brown if at all possible with our injuries.

Havent seen many NSW cup games...Are we that desperate for Centres and backrowers?

Have to be another kid to fill in at centre rather than Brown and same with the backrow...

100% agree that keeping Brown away from the centres (well anywhere in the starting 13) would be best for the greater good of humanity.

He can serve a purpose on the bench when used the right way.

As for second rowers. I guess when we have Lawrence and Knight gone for the year and Symonds soaking up the pommy sunshine on that pasty frame of his.....second rowers are thin on the ground mate.

Well said........I think??

Big night for the Origin last night pinky dink? Bet you slept like a log after a big night scabbing the dregs from people's left over drinks.

Barrett is crap, recruitment is crap.. paid overs for hacks.. Long lean year ahead... I really hope Barrett is sacked... only the wooden spoon with seal his fate.

Bobby Fulton has a lot to answer for most of the recruitment was his doing:shock:

And depending on who you want to listen to, is likely picking the team on a weekly basis also.....

Barrett is a golden boy for some reason, silver spoon league career, no grit

One of the great things about being worked like a slave and arranging a marriage is that I've had no time at all to follow this shit show. Hopefully by the time my first born is like 5 these clowns will no longer be in charge of the rodeo.
