Can't see anything really improving while we have a useless 7 and an average 1 with Barrett as coach. I and others got sick of saying Burton needed an experienced 7 but our club didn't seem to think it was a priority. We could have signed Shaun Johnson for a little more. We could have signed Sezer, could have signed Reynolds. We could have signed up and comer Hynes even. We could have signed Hastings if it wasn't for bad blood between him and Barrett. He f..ked us there also.
Seems the only way we're getting out of this is to have a fire sale for players who aren't even off contract yet so we'd need to contribute (Thompson, Jacko, Allen, Flanagan) and upgrade our 7 AND 1 but where are these players even coming from ? The only 1 and 7 I could see getting us out of this mess would be George Williams and Reece Walsh or Latrell Mitchell IF his body is even up to playing fullback.
Even bigger priority is getting Shane Flanagan as coach IMO. Unfortunately Gould still seems to have faith in Barrett. He must see something that none of us see. I'd be over the moon just to see us score 1 single try from a Barrett drilled set move. 2 tries last week were all JAC. The other Dufty's passing skills.
When is Barrett going to be responsible for one single F..KING try assist ?
What the f..k is his obsession with playing Averillo, JMK and Waddell ? They're all coach killers. If he keeps playing them he deserves whatever he gets.
