NSW's Origin hopes have been thrown into chaos with senior playmaker Trent Barrett sensationally withdrawing from a training session on the Central Coast today.
Barrett was about halfway through the session when he walked from the field with what initially appeared to be a lower back complaint.
The squad continued to train with utilitiy Craig Wing shifting to five-eighth.
Betting on all NRL matches has been thrown into turmoil as bookies wait to see the extent of his injury and who, if anyone will replace him

The return of Trent "made of glass" Barrett ladies and gentlemen.

Seriously though could the Blues have a more disrupted preparation??

....Give Campo his shot at retribution FFS.

Mullen -----> NSW.

Now.

Jobby...it's too late to rush Mullen in IMO..especially into an important position like 5/8. Campo knows most of the other players allready and deserves a second chance.

Mullo didn't get a second chance in 07, so why should Campese? ;-)

Yeah I agree with this. Campo would be better but f**k we cannot take a trick can we.

Mullo was injured for game 2 Jobbers

QLD 13+ @ $3.40
Jump on it.

 

[feeding frenzy]

I know he was. Stop ruining my fun

 

[Noa]

I wouldnt take the risk with Campese.

 

[Dazzat]

(Speaking like Maxwell Smart): Arrrrrr .... the old "chief playmaker gets injured five days before the big game trick".

Seriously, he's got a crook back from CARRYING THE EXPECTATIONS OF AN ENTIRE STATE!

 

[Mr Angry]

CARRYING THE EXPECTATIONS OF AN ENTIRE STATE!

lol

Well played.

 

[Shorty]

LOL If he's replaced by Campese or Mullen NSW's chances would actually be better.

 

[MattYg1]

hahahahahahaahahahahHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHhahahahaha

Ahhhhhh Trent... is this the same back injury from his Lawnmower mishap hahaha

 

[Blind Freddy]

Could be a smart ploy by NSW. Put out there a fake injury on Barrett to take the heat off Farah from the QLD attack.

But then again i could maybe be overestimating Bellamy's tactical brain.

Not likely. Trent Barrett was picked for his experience and the fact that he steps up for the big games. None of the other blokes have either of those qualities.

That said, Trent Barrett was always a temporary solution and we're better off in the longterm if we give someone younger a run.

 

[MSIH]

Rush Campese back asap

 

[hybrid_tiger]

They won't rush anyone in at this late stage.

Wing will play five-eighth if Barrett is out.
