He might be on the cusp of owning the worst start ever as a Manly coach, but Trent Barrett has been credited for keeping the Sea Eagles from falling apart this NRL season.Barrett currently sits alongside former Manly mentors Des Hasler (2004), Wally OConnell (1950) and Tony Paskins (1963) to have just four wins from their first 15 games in charge of the club.However there is some hope for the rookie coach, with Hasler going on to claim two premierships in the eight seasons under his guidance, even if the first trophy didnt come until 2008.Ahead of Mondays clash against St George Illawarra, Sea Eagles star Daly Cherry-Evans said Barrett has endured a difficult introduction to coaching but has played a big role in keeping the team united.The situations hes been put in as a rookie coach is nothing short of unbelievable, Cherry-Evans said.But I cant fault the man in his resilience and his character, the way hes been able to keep us together as a playing group. Its quite easy in situations like this for playing groups to split.The 14th-placed Sea Eagles face off against the 10th-placed Dragons, a club where Barrett failed to bring his own premiership as a player despite being in one of the strongest sides of that era.Dragons coach Paul McGregor, who goes head-to-head in the coaching box against a former teammate for the third time in as many weeks, felt for the under-fire Barrett.Baz has had a pretty tough first year. His side was benchmarked to be a top four side and it hasnt worked out that way, McGregor said.Hed be doing it tough but hed be committed, working hard towards improving.Barrett has named an unchanged line-up that almost upset North Queensland in Townsville last week, although there are question marks surrounding the availability of veteran No.1 Brett Stewart.For the Dragons, who can catapult into the top eight with a win, mid-season recruit Tariq Sims returns after sitting out last weeks win over Newcastle.STATS THAT MATTER* Manly have defeated St George Illawarra just eight times in 23 matches, their worst record against any team in history.* The Dragons have an awful recent record in Monday night football, winning just twice in 17 games since late 2011, including losing their past six.* Brett Stewart is currently in a 10-game try-less drought, easily the longest of his 14-year career. Eddie Giacomin Jersey . Kyle Denbrook, a soccer player from Saint Marys University, took the CIS male athlete of the week honour.

Detroit and Boston are deadlocked, 1-1, and Tigers manager Jim Leyland could be forgiven if he was caught rationalizing instead of dissecting how his club could blow a 5-1 lead late in Game 2. Ron Greschner Rangers Jersey . -- Whether Jeremy Hill deserves a prominent role in LSUs offence this early in the season is a matter for debate. Pavel Buchnevich Jersey . Only three players drafted by NHL clubs were included on the Czech selection camp roster on Wednesday. Those players were Dallas Stars 2012 first-rounder Radek Faksa, Winnipeg Jets 2013 fourth-rounder Jan Kostalek and Phoenix Coyotes 2012 seventh-rounder Marek Langhamer. MORAGA, Calif. -- Randy Bennett couldnt say enough good things about his teams offense after No. 17 Saint Marys reached triple digits for the first time in nearly four years.It was the defense that bothered the Gaels coach, a message that Bennett delivered strongly to his players after the game.Emmett Naar had 16 points and 11 assists to pace seven scorers in double figures in the Gaels 110-72 victory over Prairie View A&M on Wednesday night.We were not engaged enough in what we were supposed to be doing, Bennett said after the Gaels allowed the Panthers to shoot 44.6 percent from the field. We need to get better defensively. Were not good enough.The Gaels scored in triple digits for the first time since Dec. 12, 2012, when they beat Jackson State 120-67.More than half the points came from Saint Marys bench, which outscored the Panthers 63-30.I dont think anyone scored 20, which is pretty good, Naar said. Having a deep bench like that is amazing. For the other team its more guys to worry about, more guys to scout. It just adds a lot to our team.Naar, an All-West Coast Conference pick as a sophomore last season who was held to six points in the Gaels season-opener, shot 7 of 9 from the field. He scored eight points in the first 5 minutes of the second half, including two 3-pointers as part of a 15-4 run.Jock Landale added 13 points and eight rebounds while Stefan Gonzalez had 14 points for Saint Marys (2-0).L.J. Westbrook had 13 points for Prairie View A&M (1-2), which was coming off a win over defending Mountain West champ Fresno State.We kept fighting the best we could, Panthers coach Byron Smith said. Theres something to be said for playing a talented team like that. It gets you ready.Kyle Clark had 10 of his 12 points in the first half, including two 3s, and Jordan Ford sscored eight points over the final 5 minutes as the Gaels built a 54-37 halftime lead.dddddddddddd Ford did not play in Saint Marys season-opening win after getting banged around in the preseason.BIG PICTUREPrairie View A&M: Smiths team wasnt able to build off its upset of Fresno State two days earlier and couldnt recover after falling behind early. That could be expected following three games in six days. The schedule lightens up a bit now, so that should help.Saint Marys: The Gaels looked crisp on both ends of the court and beat the Panthers to almost every loose ball, typical for a Bennett-coached team. The ball movement was also strong -- 26 assists -- which should give them some momentum heading onto the road for the first time this season.JUGGLING THE LINEUPBennett said hes committed to his starting lineup but acknowledged the Gaels depth could lead him to jumble it at some point. This team is going to keep evolving, Bennett said. Thats going to be the tricky thing because there are some guys coming off the bench that can really help us. I like our depth a lot. We just have to get all those guys comfortable and get them to understand their role.POLL IMPLICATIONSBeating a smaller Prairie View A&M team isnt likely to move the Gaels up much but the way they did it -- dominating in every meaningful category including rebounds, assists, second-chance points -- should earn them a little more credit.UP NEXTPrairie View A&M: The Panthers make their final stop on a season-opening four-game trip at Texas San Antonio on SaturdaySaint Marys: The Gaels leave the comforts of home for the first time this season when they travel to play Dayton on Saturday.
