The more things change the more they stay the same
No No No No No. Can I shout it out any F%6&8&6 louder
Bloody Numnuts, BA just got sacked you idiot for this exact team. How stupid do you have to be to then go with that same lineup. Dumb and Dumberer.
I'll give you a hint Mr Barrett, try considering dropping Lane, Sivo and Lussick. Moving Brown to 5/8 making Hopgood captain and bringing in Sanders at halfback.
Put Penisni on notice, Start Junior in the run on side.
It's actually a smart move, give the players the opportunity to prove they aren't the problem, there is no excuses now it's all on them. Barrett will get a good look at who is worth persisting with and who needs to be dropped. He has the rest of the season to give others a go. This will flush out the deadwood.
If things stay the same and Barrett doesn't make changes next week then will be the time to carry on.
I hope your right HKF, but for Trent this is his oppurtunity to put his name forward for a first grade coaching gig. The players have been deadset lazy when fatigue sets in, if they wouldnt do it for BA and Barrett before, i dont really know why the players would do it just for Barrett now.
Perhaps its a case of the players must now stand up and show there worth to the future coach. But the way they have been playing they deserve a rocket just as much as the sacking of BA.
The players can't hide now, if Barrett is playing it the way I hope he is this is a smart move. If things stay the same this week he will have an opportunity to make changes without question, if he keeps picking the same team like BA did he will show himself to be a real goose.
Keep in mind Barrett only found out last night he was taking over, and you'd expect had a pretty busy day today.
Might just be a case of copy & paste from last week from the club here, and he might make some changes before game day once he's had a chance to digest.
If not, it will be interesting to see the players reactions.
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
