The Barrett clause

[King Gus]

Can anyone remember a player actually activating one of these clauses over the past 20 years? They always get talked about but I’m struggling to think of one case where it’s ever happened.

Boyd followed wayno around.

Might be the Penrith and Manly players , seeing there is a connection
So TPJ , Burton , Naden & Waddell

3 of them are no big loss ….. Waddell however … how will you cope ?

TPJ was already signed by you guys before he did his little cameo at Penrith and TBaz was already arranging the lawn furniture at Belmore. Burton is the only one that is likely to have it that would matter.

 

[ethan]

Oh no, looks like we'll be losing Wadell and Stimson

 

[Die For The Badge]

Let's get this over with. We can't keep going like this. For seasons now we are the embarassment of the nrl

 

[Moey]

Any player that wants to leave can fcuk off... simple

 

[Cook]

So many people to get rid of we might as well start a new club

NRL should make us Dolphins first game next season. Get them off to a winning start

 

[Doge]

Could this be the reason Gus has apparently not registered Mahoney and Kikaus contract?

 

[Kempsey Dog]

What's the point lol. Barrett won't be a first grade coach in the NRL if he is sacked... So where are they going to go ? The vast majority of them won't be able to negotiate for more money as they have been playing like shit

 

[The DoggFather]

Don't know if It's mentioned, but I wouldn't want ANY player at our club with a baz clause. Just shows their fkn stupidity.

 

[The DoggFather]

Both are signed and confirmed bro.

 

[Dogsarnthavingaparty]

If any player doesn’t want to be here they can go now.

Any player that leaves because of “a Barrett” clause won’t be going to ever be coached by Barrett at any stage unless they love him so much they want to play park football. Barrett’s days as a head coach will be over if he is sacked.

Might get a gig at Penrith high as pe teacher

 

[Dogsarnthavingaparty]

Just like the Des clauses back when he was under pressure, not winning allows so many dodgy stories all the time

There's no clauses load of shit Barrett is gone and if there are players that don't want to put there heart on there sleeve they can fuck off also we need to be real here we need to get tough again, things will change in the next 3 years trust me dogs will be top 4 team you wait and see???

I think Darius is one that comes to mind....

The clause isn't so much coz you want to follow that coach everywhere. It's to give the player a contractual out, in the event the coach is gone and they aren't satisfied with the replacement.

For those of you that don't know, I have a Payne Haas clause. If he joins our club, I'm out.

Hate the prick

 

[Doggiezbrah]

Why would we insert such a clause. He isn’t a top tier coach. Barrett may have close ties but he isn’t a Bellamy.

Any besides Boyd? It’s certainly not a common thing at all despite the attention the clauses receive.

I should have a Shane Flanagan clause I’m going to find it very hard to get behind that appointment should it happen. Wasting several more years with Kyle at halfback isn’t my idea of a good time.

 

[liljohny]

What a load of BS

Are we finally having a party?

 

[John Matrix]

Money will trump loyalty especially when players may struggle to find gigs elsewhere on their current form.

I doubt a player would choose to leave when they know that they will take a pay cut to play elsewhere and tbh if a player does choose to leave then they don't deserve to wear the jersey.
