So Barrett isn't an improvement on what we have as an attacking coach now.
I'm confused it just seems as though if it's not a forum favourite or Bennett Bellamy or Robbo BAs an idiot.
I mean what is it hey let's hire some deadbeat like Flanagan which no club in the nrl is touching.
Maybe Barrett might be but look who he's working with and it depends how much actual say Barrett has. It's all a smoke screen for Super Dud
How is it a smoke screen his roles clear.
Hes going to be in charge of the attack what smoke screen are you referring too.
You have all got short memories Barrett was welcomed back at Panthers a second time. Three times too many but I thought it could happen. A popular assistant coach with players. Well liked he was able to draw Pangai Jnr, Burton and Kikau to Dogs. His role is of lesser involvement here and he will be good for Eels in a limited capacity
Looks like he's the attacking coach. BA: “I spoke to him not long ago & he’s going to come on board for us next year & work closely with our halves & he’ll take full reins with our attack."
So the 46 dollar question is who takes on full reins with our defense????????????????????????????? Our defence is *Beep*ing Shit and the current defensive coaching is *Beep* ing up the *beep*ing creek. (Saved you the edits HOE :) )
MB, good question, the fact is, BA needs somebody to take the reins of both, because he's simply not up to it himself.
Which leads to the. question, why is he still coach if we legit need guys to come in and have him fully hand the reins over in both D and A?
Whats Brads job now? its certainly not motivation or tactics because he cant do either.
Why is he here? a fluffer?
That's what Trent Robinson does at the roosters, he is purely a man manager. Maybe being purely a man manager is the right fit for BA. Fuck me I'm so depressed knowing BA is still going to be head coach next season no matter what.
