Official Trent Barrett to coach the Bulldogs for the next three seasons

[Cappuccino]

Let the war chesting begin

 

[Caveman]

Wonder if he's gonna start getting in contact with the players now and popping in and out of the club to start getting things in order, or would that be considered unacceptable by the Panthers?

 

[c-b-b]

He wouldn't have been my choice but now he's signed I wish him all the best and hope he's learnt from the past plus what's happened since.

 

[sgodllubsti]

at least its a signing and not having to put up with dean pay anymore, we shall see if theres any improvement by the end of next season as he will have better stock than pay had to work with

time is the only way this can be answered

I think Zoom meetings will do fine for now

Why cant we get burton on a loan deal at least? Not playing at penrith, hell we need all the help we can get

 

[Bulldog_4_Life]

At least now we have direction. With Thompson, Cotric and Barrett we can sell ourselves better to other targets. I can't see us signing a half for next season but I'd like to hope that the club is negotiating with a few hookers already.

 

[Rodzilla]

round 1 2021 I don't want to hear any bullshit excuse from anybody that he is new in the job and needs time, I want everybody to act like he has been in the job since Jul 2020

kennel: he is doing an excellent thing by getting more experience as an assistant for the rest of 2020, the things he could learn are going to benefit us, they is no possible reason for him to come here now

also kennel: give him time this is only his first game in charge, once the boys understand his gameplan and have been working under him for 6 months they will be better

Fuck loan deals. They only benefit the club that loans them out. Sign him outright. If the Tigers didn't get Grant on loan they might be a chance of signing him outright. Now he will cost three times more, Melbourne won't let him go and the Tigers will still need a hooker next season.

Why develop Burton for a year then give him back to Penrith the finished article while we're left with problems in the halves once he goes back?

Sign him outright, make him an offer too good to turn down and we'll finally have our long term solution in the halves.

Smarter option is a loan deal as he is contracted and not able to be signed unless he is released! Id love if he signed outright, but penrith wont allow it

 

[brucey]

I guess I have to stop calling him ‘tampon’ to my saints mate now. Welcome to the club

Contracts mean fuck all these days. If we offer Burton a starting role, 500k and the chance to play under Barrett again, he and his manager just have to leak stories to the press and put pressure on til it happens. He can't be happy being on 200k and being outside the 17 for much longer.

If not, sign him on November 1 this year for 2022.

 

[silva]

Can't see him stay ing at penrith too much longer. Hel be trying to sign players for us and theyl boot him out

 

[Dallas040609]

Paul Kent last night said we have no chance of making the 8 next year, should of seen his face when he said it

Stated it was impossible to go from last to successful in one year

Hello bone head Bulldogs 2008-09
Roosters 09-10

He just hates the club

For the first time in a long time I'm excited for next year

The last time I was excited for a season was probably 2013 after what we did in 2012

 

[ash160]

Liking what he’s saying right now on NRL on fox. Trent seems like a winner making all the right noises

I’m pumped 2021

 

[Raysie]

Alright I'm sold after hearing Barrett on NRL 360 tonight.

Hopefully he gets rid of the shit coaching staff currently at the club and replaces them all with competent guys.

 

[vegny]

That was an impressive interview on nrl 360. Said a lot of right things.
He did say its important not to rush with recruitment. Hope the club really include him in this.

 

[haz123]

How good did he speak on NRL 360, a lot more confident than I was.
Said all the right things even impressed the panel of Dog hating jurnos..

 

[TOTTO]

Can anyone relay what he said on NRL 360 please ?

 

[NPC83]

Baz sounds good on NRL 360. He did say there is positions in the team we have identified need fixing. Sounds like he is very aware we need a 9.
