Sea Eagles release Barrett statement

Manly have issued a club statement surrounding the future of Trent Barrett and coach Des Hasler.

The Sea Eagles have agreed terms with Barrett that he will not come into the club to work, but will still be paid out until his contract ends in mid-July.

The full statement can be read below.

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles wish to advise the latest news in relation to Trent Barrett.

Whilst the legal situation has not changed in relation to the resignation of Trent Barrett and his obligations during his notice period, late this afternoon lawyers for Trent Barrett put forward a proposal to the Manly Club that Trent would refrain from attending work during his notice period unless the Club requires him to do so.

The Club accepted that suggestion.

On the understanding that Trent abides by his obligations under his employment contract, he is entitled to and will be paid each month in accordance with his contract.
