I dont like some of the players on my team but when im on the pitch i have to put it behind me and do my job.
Quiet simply, barret might be getting peed off that he has to keep going first reciever all the time, when its not his job.

Often a tactical switch by Noble especially on the last tackle, teams close down Barrett very quickly so on the last tackle so it makes more sense to move Barrett to first receive and give LeuLuai more time to kick. It also applies to in-field play as well, you might as well use Barrett somewhere rather than have him closed out the game.
I don't know why this happens at Wigan but its the lesser of two evils for Barrett.

Doesn't seem to work for Higham.
As to Leuluai I think he has been very poor so far this season and reverted to how he was for most of last season.
At the end of last season he seemed to improve but that improvement has IMO gone.
He is very reluctant to run straight and take the line on himself and he seems to simply pass the ball along the line then do a grubber kick if we are close to the try line on the last tackle 99 times out of 100. He was easily outplayed by the HKR no. 7 in that game IMO who had a real variation to his game.
There doesn't seem to be an ounce of creativity in him at the moment.
