St George Illawarra Dragons five-eighth Trent Barrett has been cleared to play in this Friday's clash with the Panthers at Penrith Stadium.

It will be his first game in eight weeks. Barrett injured his hamstring on April 18, also against the Panthers, at WIN Stadium when Saints defeated the visitors 44-18.

John Carlaw is also set to make a return after recovering from a minor eyesocket fracture against the Broncos two weeks ago.

The Dragons have pencilled in a six-man bench which includes Michael Henderson, who is yet to play NRL this season.

Yes, its easy to to be cynical. I won't belive it until I see him run onto the pitch.

 

[Genius Freak]

Don't worry Panthers_gurl, he'll get injured getting off the bus.

You guys obviously dont understand footy to suggest that barrett is a liability to the team. He is one of the best players in the game, and just because of frequent injuries u cant devalue his abilities, injuries happen! I believe their are other reasons for u lot disliking him, and that one word is choc. The whole 5/8 issue between choc (who was quite arrogant and showed no respect to barrett) and baz when the merger began. Get over it, its in the past, Barrett is a sensational player its just a pity hes been injured so often. The players we should be discontent with are riddell and kite and the many other players that have left the dragons for more lucrative offers even after we saved their careers or groomed them into the player they are. Barrett has shown loyalty and we must commend him for this, lance thompson is another example of showing loyalty to the club, remember no player is bigger than the club.

Thanks for your opinion sleepy and I enjoyed your assumptions regarding 'understanding footy'.
Personally, I think Barrett is a great player but to fill you in, we have been subjected to press releases and media comments for the last eight weeks which say Barrett is set to return for the next match. Naturally, one becomes a little cynical after a while.

 

[Saint 60]

Ill believe it when i c it....

We should christen him the Milkman -
hes never there, but is he>?

gggggrrrrrrrrr he should be learning how to kick goals while hes not there -
El Maz would wanna watch his step lol

 

[wittyfan]

If Barrett's in, I'll be tipping Penrith. 8)

When did Mundine never "show respect" to Barrett?? He was, and probably still is, a class above Trent as a match-winning five-eighth.

Trent hasn't fulfilled his potential & doesn't justify his price-tag, IMO. This is causing Saints huge Salary Ccap problems & sooner or later Dousty & co, over a few ice cold Crown lagers, will have to weigh up whether it's worth having someone on so much money who's not a game-breaker in the half-a-dozen matches he plays each season.

Cheers,
Ben S.

I have to say I'm little curious about this as well. When it was that Mundine showed no respect to Barrett?

Sleepy, do you have a source on this?
