BARRETT WALKS!
TRENT Barrett has dropped an explosive bombshell on Manly with the coach set to walk away before the season ends, according to The Daily Telegraph.The Sea Eagles currently sit 12th on the NRL ladder and have struggled all season long and it seems Barrett has had enough of the lacklustre performances.This comes despite the club claiming the 18-6 victory over the Canterbury Bulldogs during their most recent contest, a win which snapped a six-game losing skid.Barrett extended his contract with the Sea Eagles in late 2017 in a deal which would keep him tied to the club until 2020, but he’s reportedly unhappy with the club’s lack of resources.His decision to walk away from the club comes at an intriguing time with the Penrith Panthers also under a coaching crisis.Despite Phil Gould continually denying Barrett is coming to Penrith, the shock call to step away from Manly will only fuel speculation.He’ll now join the ever growing list of big names around the league who will be linked to the role.Current Brisbane Broncos coach Wayne Bennett’s tenure looks set to end after the 2018 season and he’s been linked to both Penrith and St George.Ivan Clearly has also been named as a potential replacement for the recently sacked Anthony Griffin, although he stated he intends to see out his contract with the Wests Tigers.With the Sea Eagles still a viable chance of claiming the NRL’s wooden spoon, Barrett has made the decision to jump off the sinking ship.More to come.See More
