i have always felt whatever reason that lulu plays his best rugby when he wasn't partnered with barrett, at wigan he seemed to go up 4 gears when barrett wasn't on the pitch and has always performed well for NZ. i think thats sometimes the downside of having someone like barrett in the squad he is always gonna be first choice for an option and maybe lulu didn't get to show us quite what he was made of, roll on next season!

Hope he gets a good understanding with Smith. I am sure he will produce some quality play for NZ within the next month. Yes he does have his weaknesses but he was a good buy IMO from Quins just hope Noble doesnt move him around too much

Totally agree there mate

Me too

Good player, young, loads of potential, better without TB

I would like to see Smith at 7 and Tommy at 6 because tommy is better at takin the line on and he would definitely get quick service from Smith. Any thoughts?

I would agree with that, think Lulu's a cracking player and can tackle way above his weight and size.

Both! Barrett held the team back due to his awesomeness, the whole team relied on Barrett to pull them out of the mire too much, mark my words, next year we will be a far better team without him.

(just waiting for several to come on and say i know nothing or im an idiot blah blah blah, the fact of the matter is, Trent wasn't the golden god that 77% of Wigan fans profess him to be, and if the team fall flat on their asses next season then i will have been proved wrong)

[cpwigan]

Unfortunately the Trent argument does not stand up nor will a comparison be fair. The other players should be better in 2009 than they were in 2008 whether or not Trent was still here or not.

The Trent argument was used against Faz and it was proven incorrect then too. Gregory/Edwards no players were more demanding/cajoling but vital.

Peter Sterling improved Hull, Wally Lewis improved Wakefield, Brett Kenny improved Wigan.

There is no downside to having a 'Barrett' in the side.
