Well, it's popped up again. In this week's Rugby League Week, the rumours column has come up with the old "Barrett to Easts" story & given it another run.
Basically, the gist of it is that The Face is unhappy at Saints so he's going to cop the cash off the club until his contract runs out & then go to Easts when Fittler's contract there runs out. It's a rumour that's been doing the rounds for a while & I'm surprised that it made it into print considering there isn't that much hard evidence of its truth - no matter how possible it seems.
To be honest, would we even notice The Face has gone?? One thing's for sure, we'd have a hell of a lot more money under the cap to pay for young players that we want to keep who will actually put in for the team. The only time I can even really remember him playing a match-winning game for Saints was, ironically, against Easts in 1999. Hardly value for money.
Cheers,
Ben S.
