This mate.
Might be a few late withdrawals.
Barrett was a fucking useless NRL coach, I'm not sure why people are shocked . Both of his teams struggled to score any points and he was sacked , twice . And now his mentors been a sacked coach . Hes virtually the worst coach in the NRL . Expect some serious thumpings for the rest of the season. Teams that he had a full pre season as head coach with were thumped week after week. We've actually gone backward since the day he officially arrived.
I think because of the short time Barrett had to put things together he just suck with the same list. I expect next weeks team list to be different.
maybe 1/2 players come in from reserves and also Paulo might stay in the starting lineup. Need to change it up
Did Mrs Arthur and BA have Barrett over for one of her famous home cooked meals, so BA could bend his ear.
Trent is a soft cock, not a manager of men. A good technical coach, but no head coach. Like a good tradie who thinks he can set up his own business and fails, additional skill set required.
I couldn't care less about this weeks team list.
Only name not appearing that matters in my eyes is that of the ex head coach BA.
As far as I'm concerned it's a clean slate for all the players this week and they are all on notice and playing for their careers at Parramatta.
They aren't selling themselves to the fans, the NRL or the media - they are selling themselves to the next incoming head coach.
Go prove the doubters wrong boys. I'm sure we will see improvement this week...
Frank yeah, I'm kind of thinking similar things. It's either the "clean slate, reset, and time for redemption" theme or Barrett's been hampered for time, and we might see late changes. Surely, he's been watching us.
I remember when Jason Taylor took over as interim coach in the mid 2000's and he blooded heaps of youth like Hayne and Inu. Pretty sure he was coaching second grade that year so he knew how good they were
Barrett's not gonna blood youth cos it's a gamble. He's playing it safe by sticking with experience.
This year is a write off so I'd love to see more youth get a go but doesnt look like it will happen
I remember being at the old Parra stadium when he took over. It was against Newcastle. Brian Smith refused to promote Jarryd Hayne and the first thing JT did was promote him to FG. Pretty sure he scored 4 tries that night too. Who knows, might have saved his arse that year if he had promoted Hayne.
And Hayne had a poor attitude ever since. Brian Smith didn't hold Hayne back because he didn't think he was a good player, it was because he knew the kid needed to learn a valuable life lesson and mature a bit. Brian smith was a school teacher , he saw Haynes future if he wasn't taught a few lessons in humility.
If JT didn't promote him on his natural ability only , who knows what Haynes life may have turned out 20 years down the track. Straight from Smithy's mouth , " Jarryd Hayne was a young smart arse who turned up late , thought he knew it all , and hadn't had to earn a spot in a team since he picked up a ball "
