Barrett Rumour

[xofstgeorge]

how old is baz now anyway? not convinced either way really...

 

[W.Smith]

Id love to see Baz back for a couple years swansong under Bennett

 

[RedVGooner]

what about michael ennis fellas? he left the dragons to go under wayne bennett, he also left the dragons to go under bennett coze bennett was like a father to him

 

[Godz Illa]

Sounds mildly Oedipal loco.

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

A couple of points
Barrett in = Gaz gets ball or have we forgotten he and Fittler had the best flat pass off either side. The current combo can’t get the ball to the right or does someone want to blame Browny for that
Age? Jason Smith? Alfie Langer?
Depending on price he’d be very worthwhile, certainly not as captain but as 5/8 very worthwhile
Team morale?
If the red V, getting paid to play footy and Bennett aren’t enough to keep your dummy in your mouth, the team doesn’t need you.

Good Points all of them.

That flat passes caught my eye. I am a big wrap on Soward and look forward to him for many years especially when I heard that he loved the Sainters as a kid.

All that said,.... what is with the u/9 gumby, vertical helicopters when we are looking to get the pill out wide after a scrum.

Is the faith in our skills so low that we are willing to give the defensive line those extra half metres with these passes, just so we don't drop the pill?

Rip it to Gaz, and rip it to him again later in the count. Put in a grubber, that doesn't go dead and repeat this until we score and ultimately win the game and the premiership. :roll:

Let me know if I am over simplifying. (If there is such a thing!!!)

;-) ..... :lol:

Ahh, the Barrett specialty - the grubber kicked with such ferocity that it leaves a dent in the in-goal signage...

Rumour was scuppered today according to Tim Gilbert on the Footy Show saying he had written a letter of intent to Wigan saying he would see out his contract until the end of next year

I disagree.. I have very clear memories of Barrett consistently running sideways taking our centres out of the play.

 

[Slippery Morris]

Last I heard is Barrett will honour his contract in the UK so all this speculation for nothing.

 

[OurRedV]

Let's move forward, not backwards. He had his chance in the mighty red v.

I heard that.
Is it common that players write a letter of intent to say you'll be seeing out your contract?
Option maybe?
Seemed strange.Maybe Wigan heard rumours.

Barrett stopped being 5/8 when he went from 80 kgs in 1998 to 95 kgs in 1999.

His speed went and so did his ability to slide through gaps.
