Sorry if I seem a little off-key here, but why ????????

He's just an Aussie who came here for the money, then walked out on the last year of his contract.

Yes, he was fantastic in his first season and should have been MoS

Second season - Did what he had to do to keep the money coming in, then walked out on us despite having a year left on his contract.

Let him play in the sunshine, I won't be missing him, regardless of results, because he certainly won't be missing us.

He wasnt that good in the first season either. Class player but not irreplaceable.

I honestly don't think that of Trent.

Awesome 1st season, far better than any other Aussie import. Second season was different, but it was a time that was plagued with personal issues, regardless of that he played very well and nearly helped us get to our first grand final in years.

Always speaks highly of the Wigan club and SL, would have probably done a 3rd year if it wasn't for off field issues.

As much as he was a good player he shouldnt be that missed... Cant see him being as good as some people think he will be in the NRL this year....

Balls to that! Ladies... try this www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/g ... 08,00.html

May i also add that i like to see world class players at Wigan and Trent is up there with the greatest. It's sad to see that a new team will now benefit from his talents when it should be us!!

Only a fool would question Trent's impact in his first season and say it wasn't that good. He showed in that very first season what a world class six looks like and what they can do with a ball. It certainly put other so called ‘world class’ 6’s to shame like Pryce, Mcquire, Briers, Horne and Harris who have all been touted by their own fans as quality 6’s.

Barrett won't be anwhere near the top of the list of ozzies that have played for Wigan.

I had forgotten him already !

here here and if he was still taking his ££££s and turning out for Wigan Sam T would not be playing tonight.

still wish he was here?

Yes as Sam and Trent would be better than;

Sam & Tommy
Sam & Smith
Tommy & Smith

Trent was an inspired signing and people are now starting to knock him cause he left early! I sometimes really wonder why Wigan fans are so fickle? Trent was idolised by 99% of the Wigan fans whilst he was here and cause he left early people are starting to spout crap about him saying he wasn’t even that good! You can’t help but laugh

Like it or not Trent carried this team for two seasons and without him I really doubt people like Noble would be still employed at Wigan. I’d have him back In a heart beat

if you think Noble would drop Tommy for Sam T, they you are a fool, the Trent and Sam combo was never an option, for the aforementioned reason and also because they are both stand offs

I think if someone gave you a load of money for seeing the world and doing something you enjoy, then you would speak very highly of them as well.

Well said,

How many medals rings etc did Mr Barrett take home to Oz then?

I don't know probably less than Ricky Bibey has tho i'd guess

As many as Senior has kept.

you have to win them first

What is about some fans thinking you must win something to be an amazing player.

Matt Le Tissier stands out in football, what a quality player yet I dont think he won anything.

Barrett looked a little over weight. Must of slipped into the Aussie drinking culture nicely.

Trent was a great signing for us, robbed of MOS in 2007

Many fans have slated him and think that he abandoned us, he put his family first and you have to respect him for that (not one person wouldn't do what he did)

Some people also criticise his form in 2008 yet he still carried us and is the main reason we had another good run at the end of the season

He carried us for 2 years, always tried his hardest and got us out the more times than I can count

I would have him back in a heartbeat and would just like to thank him for all he did for Wigan

Thankyou Trent

Given the way they seem to be cleaning up the play the ball in Australia, i think he will be a sensation in the NRL, the 2 ref system is a great introduction of the first 2 games of the season shown on Setanta. Unless we add it soon they gap between us and them is going to get much much wider than it already is very quickly.

its already the size of the grand canyon and getting wider

Its frankly frightening on the evidence of the first 2 games, just how superior they are to the standards we see in SL.
