Baz's Record

[GoTheDoggies]

Atrocious? We beat Cowboys who have won a few games since, got pipped by broncos and then played the top 4 over 4 rounds

Getting too excited after some bad losses versus sides that totally outclass us is premature imo. And I don't give a shit about 2021. Bellamy wouldn't have got that side to the finals

Bellamy would give us a team to be proud of. It is clear you love the specialist in failure Barrett so he has given you a losing team to make excuses for.

 

[Dognacious]

He's won 4 out of 16 games against the bottom 9 teams. 25%.. That's an atrocious record. That's without considering the 0-16 record against the top 6 teams and all of the 30, 40 and 50 point thrashings.

Again, I dont care about 2021 stats. Irrelevant as it was a dud side whoever the coach is. This year we are 50% vs bottom 8 sides. And being thrashed by a top 4 side isn't unexpected at this stage. Had both storm and panthers 13+ to beat us.

I've seen top 4 sides thrash each other. We are lucky if the margin is under 20 vs them if they arent majorly hit by injury/covid or origin

Give us a team? Even he can't take a spoon side and completely overhaul it in a year. That's nonsense. And I don't have feelings for Baz either way. I would have liked to see Pay get a chance with some money to spend and better players.

I just thinks it's underthinking it to think Baz is the big issue right now and there's a coach out there with a magic wand who can take the time frame out of a complete rebuild.

Bellamy would turn us around guarantee it and we certainly wouldn't have clowns like Ned Kelly in high performance.

It’s not just Baz it’s the whole coaching staff.

Did anyone see his interview on fox before the game, he was looking to the heavens and looked so stressed it’s not funny for that split second just before he realised he was on air.

The thing is there’s not a single player who’s improved really in the last 12 months and that’s the coaching staffs job. I don’t accept we have a top 30 where every player is shit.

Georgalis the GOAT was better than Barrett and took over a half way through the season.

I don’t think any coach ever has their top 30 to their exact likings do they? They do the best with what they have and sure some top 30’s are stronger than others.

I have seen nothing from Tbaz to indicate that he’s capable of turning things around and getting us into being a premiership contender down the track. He’s probably going to get this season to do something but I doubt he’s going to do anything with it.

And they were worried Pay couldn’t attract marquee players. Idk what worse the fact Pay couldn’t attract them OR Baz attracting them and then mismanaging them and them playing like shit? I’d rather have none of these superstars if it meant we were competitive. It hurts to know that we have rep quality players in our side and we can’t even compete against the top 8. What the actual fuck is doing at Belmore

Having rep players and going on a signing spree means there should be no more excuses. If anything when you sign big it puts pressure on to perform and Barrett is crumbling.

 

[GrogDog]

Rewind 12 months ago, we all said he would have no excuses this year with the players that had signed. Nothing's changed!

 

[Dognacious]

Bellamy would turn us around guarantee it and we certainly wouldn't have clowns like Ned Kelly in high performance.

He wouldnt have done it already though, if he started the same time as Baz. I guarantee that. And if he was coach and our form was similar to now, which i believe it would be at this stage, then we would have sack Bellamy threads in here. Its the kennel way. Ive been in this place for 15 years and pretty much all of that time someone has wanted to sack the coach. Every coach we have had, has had many sack them threads here.

Bloody oath. I knew combos would need time to develop. But that doesn’t excuse slapping score line’s

Or Sandercock or Furner.

Excuses fc brigade are out making excuses despite praising the roster rebuild over the off season.

Surely you are not mentioning Barrett and Bellamy in the same breath and using the word coach?? I agree there will always be sack the coach threads for one reason or another but suggesting Bellamy wouldn’t have done any better than Barrett is little bit of a stretch mate.

No im saying wouldnt matter who was coach, our problems arent all about who is coach. Its more about where we are at in the rebuild, and realistic expectations.

I disagree mate. I think a Bellamy/Bennett/Robinson type of coach would have had us playing as a unit much quicker and actually have a style of play that suits the talent in the roster.

What even is Barrett ball?

It was Good Friday, he was looking for a sign from Jesus.

I posted this earlier,
Speaking as a coach of 20 years of experience, I have always said on this forum that Baz should have time to get the team to jell, and calling for his head after a couple of near losses is just symptomatic of the keyboard coaches and no-nothing, immature, and death-riding supporters on this site.
However, enough is enough!
I believe we have (on paper at least) a top 8 team that is being woefully managed!
The squad is stilted and unimaginative in attack and though determined, they are undisciplined in defense making far too many silly and stupid mistakes that have the ref reaching for his whistle and that has cost us dearly!
So as far as I'm now concerned, Baz needs to be replaced ASAP..!

I look at the roster time and time again and my view never changes. I don’t see a top 8 side although I definitely think that Baz is not the answer.

I guess we will see. In tthe meantime im not going to lose my mind over a few losses to top sides though, i will save my sack baz thoughts for if we are doing it vs weaker sides later in the year.
