Barrett was amazing for Wigan and that night at Bradford in the play-offs is a game I will never forget.
He is/was a truly World Class player and players of this greatness are a sad loss to the game when they reach the age were they cannot carry on playing.
The great thing about our sport is that the next world class player is always there to take over the mantle. The King is Dead..Long live the King...
Watching players like Barrett make me smile... Our sport is a minority sport in this country for reasons that I still cannot fully fathon. I am just glad my Dad was a Wigan Fan who showed me the light and that I can pass that light to my son... Yes we are a minority sport but we(RL Fans) arn't half lucky to watch our great game every week...
PS.. I was going to call our son "Trent".... Lets just say the wife wasn't too keen... so WE! agreed on "Jake"!!! Women
