The Manly Sea Eagles could be rocked even further following news that coach Trent Barrett has held a crisis meeting this afternoon.

According to a Nine News report from Neil Breen, Barrett held a meeting with his manager Wayne Bevis and his lawyer.

“At its very worst, it means that Barrett could give notice to leave the club,” Breen said.

“The central point is that advisers close to Barrett believe the club is in breach of its contract with him in that it hasn’t provided the level of support staff or even a recruitment manager as promised.”

The Sea Eagles have reportedly responded to Barrett’s meeting by interviewing for a recruitment manager to aid Barrett tomorrow.

Despite the possibility that Barrett could well walk out on his struggling club, Breen suggested that such a decision may be a tough one for the 40-year-old.

“Barrett has said he’s not a quitter, he’s never quit anything in his life,” he said.

“He’s also very loyal to the playing group, he wants to work with them to dig themselves out of the hole they’re in.”
