Barrett was quality. Great player who, like Faz on a few occasions, won the game for us on his own.

A good player .... a great player even..... but no James Roby!

A great player, and a sublime piece of eye candy *sigh* Made the Cronulla games worth watching.

Enjoy the retirement Trent; thanks for gracing us with your talent. A real pleasure to watch.

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

Trent, what a player!

I saw Barrett play for Australia and always wished I could see him in person each week.

Im glad I had that chance.

He was first class for us.

True, he was magnificent for Wigan.

He was a player that proved that Australians can settle into a new team and a new country from game 1.

I remember Stevo rambling on about how Barrett would come good on the harder grounds but he was first class from day 1 when we played Warrington in the snow.

Im sure Tim Smith will benefit from playing with him for the rest of the season at Cronulla.

TBH it wasn't just the "MRS" that didn't agree with me calling our son "Trent".. The whole family were less than impressed..

At least it will be a good story to tell Jake in years to come. I would have loved it if my Dad had named me after say Brett Kenny... thinking about it now... he was a fan of Steve Hampson... He isn't with us anymore to ask him... but I might start using that line in future.....

I bet thats your son's claim to fame... I know if it was me, it would be mine....

Don't you know I was named after Wigan Legend Steve Hampson.... (Has a good ring to it doesn't it?)

I bet you've been at a bit of a loss this week "East" with no attendance updates to calculate?

My Son was named after Steve Hampson..I remember telling him my first born "if a boy" would be named after hin..but we had a girl..two years later however..our son Steven came along..I remember speaking to hampo at a wigan saints reserve match..I asked him if he remembered that we promised to name our first born after hin..I was surprised he did.. even the place we spoke about it..I told him my wife had just given birth to our son..who we called steven..he really was pleased..and asked to see him..great bloke!!!
