Trent Barrett on a 3 year deal according to league weekly.

If we can’t keep Lammy that would be my preferred option as long as he doesn’t bugger off in the middle of his contract!

Did Barrett actually do a decent job at Manly before the fallout?

I think Phil Wilkinson has addressed the Trent Barrett rumour. Apparently, although the club never normally comment on speculation, they are quick to state this rumour is wide of the mark...I wonder why? Maybe IL doesn't want SE to get wind of it?

Manley were hit and miss under Barrett played some good stuff and were entertaining there were a lot of rumours of off field problems at the club

If there's any legs in the Barrett rumour it does strike me that we're after the best 'Wiganer' rather than the best option, again.

Welcome, Trent. You’ll fit right in here.

Wasn't Barrett one of the reasons Jackson Hastings left Manly?

Quote ="Rogues Gallery"Wasn't Barrett one of the reasons Jackson Hastings left Manly?'" Think it was more to do with Hastings being a clown off the field. Barrett gave him umpteen chances and every time he threw it back in his face. He was deeply unpopular with the other players, as he was at the Roosters beforehand https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-pr ... f12fb85333

Can't keep going for ex players etc his record at manly was poor I'd have Powell at Wigan done a decent job at cas even tho hes a miserable sod

Would he bring that really weird looking coach, who stands next to him on the gantry, with him?
By heck, he’s a strange looking chap.

How many trophies has he won?

I agree re Powell but you don’t want him and you don’t want Barret - who would you like?

Shane Flanagan
Jason Demetriou
Kelvin Skerrett

Ryan Sheridan!!

Agree with your 3rd choice, with Dennis Moran as assistant

Hhhmmm only if Ian Millward can be High Performance Manager

Andrew Farrar as defence coach?

Andy Powell as the forwards coach

So by that logic, we need one of, Shaun Wane, Brian Mcdermott or Nathan Brown if we want to win the Grand Final?

Only Kelvin Skerrett will do

Adam O’Brien would be my first choice, joined the Roosters this season after 11 years at Melbourne but very good young coach who reminds me of a young Michael McGuire

"Got rid of......" ???

What on earth are you talking about?

Mark Bitcon was offered (and accepted) a job at Manchester City FC - Working witrh his brother, no less.

You *DO* realise that there's quite a bit of difference in what clubs at the top end of Superleague and the top end of the Premier League are able to pay, don't you?
