This is not a thread to bag out Barrett because certain tossers on TK as well as salty Manly threads on Reddit are doing a good enough job of that. For mine I think Baz was set up to fail, and that's no disrespect to Pay because his situation wasn't great either. I'm not gonna sit here and act like I haven't called for a new coach myself but for me I think we needed to sign an experienced coach when Pay was signed.. coaching is hard enough in the NRL and it is always going to be harder for inexperienced coaches with inexperienced squads.
That being said, this is a thread to discuss the future and all the nonsense speculation. There's obviously a lot of speculation around players potentially wanting to break contract this and that but I mean coaches get sacked almost every season so I don't see an issue there.
I'd love to hear what your thoughts are.. Mine are that the club have to throw everything at Flanno sr.. we can't gamble on an inexperienced coach or a super league coach. Out of all the available successful coaches Shane Flanagan is the one who instilled a culture at a club that is still in full effect today, but also left on a good note with his players. When listening to his commentary you can tell he has a high iq for coaching and what's evident is that he knows how to simplify things which is why I believe individuals thrive under him, and it's something we've struggled with because our spine look like they're just trying to hard to force things.
