Quote ="Slugger McBatt"But Barrett was hit and miss. Game changing when on his game, but there were too many games when he wasn't on his game. At Belle Vue, for example.
I know what you mean about Gidley and my comment about him being unglamorous. What I meant was that he arrived at Saints to fill Lyons boots and he didn't have all the fancy tricks, but for solid and consistent textbook centre play, Gidley is it.'"
He and Locky were the only Wigan players to show up that day.
Barrett was the finest 6 i have seen in SL. He played in an average team whose coached pretty much wasted his talent with his tactics and he was still by far the best player in the comp and in my opinion in that season the best player in the world.
