Who watched it?
I really like how he explained things with the recruitment going on and how we ain’t chasing players for short term gain. He is looking to rebuild for the future.
also mentioned he speaks to Burton often and no way he is backing out. Club is excited with him coming next year.

overall I’ve been critical of Barrett and he is well spoken all the time but tonight it was spot on. Answered a lot of our questions. Well done baz and boys

 

[Bulldog Wrestler]

Yeah, it was a damn good interview. His communication skills are excellent.

Bulldogs: Round 7

Trent Barrett chats to the media after his team's Round 7 game against the Sharks

www.nrl.com

Barrett's probably the best talker out of any of the coaches. I also love the emotion in this one specifically.

 

[c-b-b]

In the press conference he was saying it was very emotional as these guys spend more time together than with their families, I really felt for him as they’re all doing it tough. Was a gritty win which was really needed.

 

[UndeadShadowMan]

I would of given him 10k to bag the ref that decision to give the Sharks a penalty after they threw it out just because Flanagan patted him on the chest was a joke nearly cost us the game. Penrith do far worse every game but of course nothing gets done about that.

 

[JackDog]

Pretty sure from that presser we ain’t going for Reynolds

Was thinking the same.... I’d be happy with a couple of big guys up front and a 9....

 

[Dogs79]

I got a little emotional watching that, Baz’s words and the effort tonight certainly restored some faith. Still expect it to be a long and tough season but I’m happy if they show that heart and pride in the jersey each wk from here on to the end of the season.

 

[Vlasnik]

I love the fact that Barrett talks to Matt Burton regularly and that he isn't worried about the rumors circulating about any potential back flip on Burtons behalf. I also love the quote when he said it's great that Penrith have noticed what a good player Burton is now, something that he himself noticed 18 months ago at training

Honestly a lot has been said about Phil Gould....like him or hate him Penrith should kiss his ass because if it wasn't for him and the changes he implemented during his time there they would not be riding the wave of success now!!!

 

[bulldogtimbo]

We should get Gould to the club in some capacity, and Barrett's comments suggest he would be open to it.

 

[Malla]

Yeah, it was a damn good interview. His communication skills are excellent.

Yeah been a while since we’ve had a coach that’s so open and transparent with his communication to the media. Folkes and Des were always reserved and wel Pay had no clue what he was doing lol

 

[TOTTO]

Bloke wears his heart on his sleeve , shame we cant back off the sacking threads and give him a year at least to prove himself .

 

[Powerslide]

Pretty sure from that presser we ain’t going for Reynolds

So many reasons why he would be the wrong player for us.

Like the fact he's a fucken pussy Tool?

And then theres bloke like Munster and Latrell who are masters at it that Ive never seen penalised for it.

 

[Mr Beast]

It’s amazing how winning changes everything, perspective and reality.

 

[B-Train]

People can doubt Baz's coaching ability or track record but no one can doubt how well he speaks and communicates to his players, the fans and the media.

His passion, honesty and temperament are a breath of fresh air after decades of silence, repressed emotions and seige mentality against the media from Hasler, Pay, Folkes, Moore and Anderson etc.

What he said about Burton and how they plan to rebuild the club by avoiding desperation moves, as well as the bond he has with the players was exactly what you want to hear.. You can see why the club is firmly standing by him regardless of poor results.. They know he's the right man and leader to help rebuild the club.

He’s with the warriors at the moment he cops a lot of shit Gould but he knows his footy

 

[James zac]

Agreed.

He could easily get some players with a bandaid fix, and void more sack Barrett threads but his vision is for the long term.
