Barrett to sign with Eels on Wednesday

[belmoreeel]

i heard that barret will be retireing after a premiership with the eels in 2011

Feel bad for Trent that even though he's being really open and clear to all parties involved that they appear to be making it as though he's mucking everyone around waiting for a decision. Media are assholes

What's the old saying "You get Government and Media you deserve"...

From the outside looking in, it seems to me Parramatta have offloaded a lot of cap space this season in the hopes of getting Cronk. Now thats no chance of happening they need to sign someone to save face, offering massive overs to Barrett to be a one year stop gap.

would still rather Kimmorley.....

Barret's main move is drfit across field and trun a forward on the inside....over and over and over.....wow....

[Maroubra Eel]

[bartman]

he will be retiring - sad news for Parra fans, but he won't be lost to the game

I'm not sad at all, that news made me quite happy Jess!

(The bit that Barrett won't be with us next season in particular.)

 

[HevyDevy]

Yes, well we need a play-making halfback rather than a running five-eighth.

Meanwhile, Cronulla captain Trent Barrett's final decision on retirement will be put on hold until his shoulder injury is assessed later this week.

He has attracted interest from Canberra and Parramatta as well as the Sharks.

 

[Gronk]

There was also growing speculation last night that Cronulla five-eighth Trent Barrett had shelved plans to retire and signed to play for Parramatta in 2011.
Eels chief executive Paul Osborne last night denied a deal had been done but added he intended to catch up with Barrett's manager, Wayne Beavis, later this week.

no, the really worrying thing is i think he actually taught that to Tim Smith

if anything Smith has really regressed under Barrett's influence......there might be something in that for parramatta to think about...???

I'm sorry but Tim Smith was rubbish when he last played for us, rubbish in ESL and rubbish for Cronulla. Has zip to do with Barrett.

:lol: just makes you laugh that there are morons here that still rue us not re-signing him

 

[Stagger eel]

has he retired yet?

 

[Gronk]

has he retired yet?

No and after Sticky's front & back page stuff this morning, you would think that he will put a lid on any announcement for the time being. Even a retirement announcement would be bad vibes for his club right now. Signing for another club I think would cause a riot.
