News Barrett

Logic over emotion. No wayy to this suggestion.

 

[Caveman]

I'd prefer Ennis, but I'd take Barret with Ennis assistant.

Just my opinion.

Pays a God comapred to Barrett. Look at what he had and the ship sunk until Des arrived.

Keep Pay bring in a geuine assistant instead of Georgallis, somone like Justin Morgan or Shane Flanagan. He deserves a proper shot with quality staff and players.

Bring back the fucking X please so I can X this comment

Craig Bellamy and Wayne Bennett would NOT even be able to turn this club around ... the whole place is toxic and living in a fantasy world where they think losing is ok ... we need a MASSIVE clean out for the whole club and bring in people and players who actually wants to bleed blue and white and bring our once proud club back to our glory days ... us long term doggies supporters have had enough and we need to see some light at the end of this very very long tunnel!!!

BAZ IN FOR PAY TO REBUILD BULLDOGS



Trent Barrett is emerging as the favourite to replace Dean Pay as coach of the Canterbury Bulldogs to oversee a major rebuild at Belmore.

The Bulldogs are expected to announce within 48 hours that Pay will finish up once his contract expires at the end of this season.

The Barrett deal is not done yet but Canterbury officials have earmarked him as their No.1 target.

He is currently assisting Ivan Cleary at Penrith and has helped turned the Panthers into a genuine premiership threat.

Barrett is a great coach of playmakers. He helped Daly Cherry-Evans lift his game to become Queensland captain and Kangaroos halfback while under his direction at Manly.

He is also doing a great job with Nathan Cleary at the Panthers.

In Barrett’s favour — ahead of others — is his strong relationship with senior players.

At Canterbury, Barrett would have a $3 million war chest to rebuild the struggling franchise.

Maybe buzz was just jumping to conclusions after barrett was running the show tonight for penrith while cleary was watching in the background.

Towards the end of his tenure at manly a reliable source tiped him off that Hasler had secretly agreed to come back. The source was one of the board of directors at Pen health. Out of respect to Barrett, that’s why Barrett caused a fus about the chairs and locking rooms, to leave on his own terms not the penns.

 

[bowleggedwog]

Manly still paid him for 2019 season even though they brought in Des so technically he wasn’t sacked?

I remember one year think it was 2018 he took Manly to 6th... brought along some scrap heap players like Sirro to be consistent performers ...Suli

Manly still owe him money for the chairs

Sirro would be a great signing now. Great edge player

The penns are ***** and hasler is a prick. Perfect marriage.

I really think we need a coach with a lot of experience to get us out of this hole , Barrett is another Pay.

Hes not that shit

 

[Vlasnik]

Sign Barrett and sign Ennis as his assistant coach.

 

[Vlasnik]

How is it a stupid comment he literally got rattled by the club not providing new tables and chairs in the clubs training rooms. How is he going to go with the mess he faces here? He probably will do a better job then Pay but who couldn’t.

Mean while Hasler was given every gadget and gismo under the sun.

 

[Dannyboi88]

He was the reason api korosau went to penrith at the 11th hour but he is a attack minded coach with a decent defence coach will help our chances it seem like it a attitude thing change is needed in a different time pay might have worked but he is out of his depth and to be honest looks defeated waiting for the bullet

 

[DaveV]

You could bring in Mr Bean right now and I'd be happy.

 

[berries1935]

We need a coach that is attacking minded and coach the attacking skills they need..... I’d be happy with Barrett but really think they need to get Ennis around the club he has no problem holding someone accountable

 

[B-Train]

I don't know why Barrett would be anyone's top choice when Griffin won 55% of his 170 plus games as coach.

 

[Moey]

correct me if im wrong, but didn't Barrett blood the turbo bothers, and didn't Barrett build the current squad that DES took over. So its barretts team that's excelling at Manly not Des team...
