Re: barrett i hope this isn't ...
would be ok if we replaced him with Lockyer
Re: barrett i hope this isn't ...
no tasty trent has to stay here. he's been our best player this season, and should see out his contract.
Re: barrett i hope this is...
I've heard he's loving it in the UK and he thinks moving to Wigan was the best decision he’s ever made.

The trouble is, what he actually says media wise and what he actually thinks/wants are two completely different things.Banksy posted:

Re: barrett i hope this is...
He is still contracted to us - and so if he were to sign for another team we would expect serious financial compensation as he has been the best player in SL this year by some margin.
The article sounds like media speculation to pad out a quiet week. The panthers have denied it saying that they can't fit him under their cap and with the current exchange rate they would have to pay him big money. If he was going there you would imagine that they would issue the standard "no comment" rather than flatly deny it.
If he didn't like it here you would expect him to say nothing in the programme - rather than saying how happy he is here.
With the standard of the NRL being higher than SL; it stands to reason that he can be a bigger star here than in Oz. He is unlikely to play rep rugby for Aus again - so it is hard to see what the attraction is.
I would imagine that some of this is because he is probably planning to go home for a holiday prior to pre-season training.

Incidently, a similar rumour was passed around about Pat Richards after his first season with us

listening to phil bailey on radio lancashire(full hour last night) it would seem to be very unlikely.both are loving it over here.

Hope im right on this but it does seem that whenever a player settles here the OZ media try to unsettle them.Matthew posted:

Maybe Ball Tickler Price was right Blackpool is better than Bondi.
