Opinion Sack Barrett thread

[Scoooby]

I'm not saying sack Trent, I'm saying we are watching.

I realise that, BUT I’m saying … sack him this time next year , we have seen absolutely zero results proving he’s a shit coach lol.

I honestly hope he turns it all around bro and gets us firing. I think he can do it but somthings amiss at the moment.

It seems for coaches they end up under pressure when they loose the fans.

At the moment Trent Barrett seems to be making a lot of seemingly inept decisions as our head coach.

Our team selections have been poor, out attacking structures are non existent, our defence is woeful, our fitness is poor, our on field leadership is non existent, we've got no idea on how to manipulate the ref's in game, and the lie that you can't knock us for effort is a complete lie... week after week you see our players not covering in defence, not chasing kicks, running one out, slowing down before tackles, giv8-g up in tackles, slow play the balls etc. Our effort is pathetic.

We were all waiting for rd 11 to see the changes baz would make in the squad, but we get the same crazy line ups that have got us nowhere.

I was all for Baz untill this week when I realised he's to weak to be our head coach.

If you loose the fans Baz it won't be long till you loose your job.

Never change a winning game but always change a losing one. So fat he has done nothing to change anything.......Agree with your post and well written For a caveman[emoji16]

My first thought is topine.... and anyone but katoa and hoppa.

Topine has done nothing that warrants a walk up start

 

[Ant2611]

Word going Barrett is trying to extend katoa and send topine to England instead as he rates katoa

There will be a riot on the kennel if that happens.

I personally think he has been one of our best each time he has taken the field. He is not a hooker, and I don't think he should be played at hooker, play him out wide and watch him go.

 

[Ant2611]

Who's ready for first and dont get picked?

Topine

 

[Roger the alien]

Topine has done nothing that warrants a walk up start

His name isn't Elliott, Waddell, Napa, Stimson or katoa... that a good enough reason for me.

Nasheed here,
It’s because he’s good looking and part leb the fans have sympathy.
I’m really not joking.

Imagine if this was griffin and everything played out the same. Will we still ‘trust tha process’
Btw process= only buy Penrith players or players under 25 for long term unofficial contracts. Say no to experienced older players because they aren’t long term and are ‘band aid’, instead choose readily available weaker younger players because they have a long career ahead.

If it’s Georgallis, I put money he’d be sacked by now (Or close to it)…

 

[bradyk]

Topine has done nothing that warrants a walk up start

Katoa has done everything possible to not be selected, still selected.

 

[Ant2611]

Topine has done nothing that warrants a walk up start

He hasn't made any mistakes and does a shit load of tackling......not like some of the bludgers wearing our colours.

 

[GrogDog]

I don't know if he is under fire however I can't argue with the OP's points.

 

[DogDays]

FUCK OFF, he’s not under fire… this time next year if no results fine this thread is worthy. But not now for fuck sake.!!

Why?

Griffin is a far better coach. His record proves this. You can see it the teams that he coaches, the way he handles himself, the guy knows footy and can coach.

I think more slack would afforded to a coach with a track record that resembles some form of success.

Barrett’s record shows limited success (it did before he signed and still does!)…why should people be patient? I think everyone has the right to be a little nervous about this - he is a coach on P Plates.

Yet, we signed him to do one of the biggest rebuilds the club has seen (or this is what the club would have you believe!!?) ….baffling to say the least…

 

[sleepy dog]

What a stupid fucking thread honestly

 

[maroondog72]

He’s not going anywhere ATM, but I have said since his appointment that 23 will be his crunch year and the fact that we are 13 rounds in and have won one game only compounds the pressure on him next year. If we don’t win at least six or seven of our first twelve games next year he’ll be gone by June and the whole cluster fuck starts again. We need this cahunt to succeed to put some stability back in the club.

 

[Scoooby]

Why?

Because it’s the truth!! He’s not going anywhere.

In all honesty our defense has been the biggest disappointment in my view. They just haven't looked like they're on the same page and defending like a team when I've watched. It's hard to tolerate seeing opponents scoring easy tries because all of a sudden three players will drift to follow the ball like under 6's while the rest won't follow and leave a gap you could drive a truck through. I'd be worried about my job if I was responsible for coaching our defense. You exect every team to have these lapses and derp moments, but we just seem to have them more frequently than I'd expect of professionals. I know fatigue plays a part with the new rules and most losing teams lose by big margins this year. But it's hard to tolerate opponents scoring because our defense has regular brain farts and can't anticipate a direction change.

Our attack has hardly been inspirational either. It's much the same issues as last year though. The line has at times looked a bit dangerous, but quite frequently when support play would clinch a try, the support is either standing still or the ball runner doesn't look for them. To some extent it comes down to confidence. We just rarely look like we expect good things to happen so it comes as a surprise to our players when an opportunity presents itself and nobody is ready to capitalize.

I had reservations about Barrett before he arrived due to his results at Manly. I haven't let go of those reservations. He speaks well and seemingly inspires respect from his players. But as others have said, our game plan hasn't improved noticeably and the players don't look like they've developed a winning attitude under Barretts tuition.

What a stupid fucking thread honestly

Couldn't agree more, who writes this crap.
