The ones in bold are all great players but not in the same league as barrett for mercurial talent and skill IMO.
The ones not bolded would be the only players I would class as in Barrett Class tbh

I only started in 82, so I can't even claim Fairbairn in 81...who I believe did 'hold up' one $hit team.

Hes an absolute class act, proved it at wigan and continues to prove it in the NRL....watch the origin games if you want any proof of it.'"
I think you need to watch Origin again mate, especially game 2.

Wow, that list of 30 brings back some fab memories but at least the three above shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as Mr Barrett, good solid grafters but Dermott & Cowie were playing for the team of the decade in which i could have done a good job.
This has made me go and dig some dvd's out... the good old days

| He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!
He's not a legend because (a) he chose to leave us and (b) his second season was a disappointment.
Other players have had shorter stays but are bona fide legends - Gene Miles springs to mind (a legend certainly to those of us who were privileged to see him and to be entertained by the best centre/wing partnership - with Offiah - that there has ever been in club rugby). TB isn't, unfortunately.
Having said that, I am interested in how he's getting on. Despite that second season I wish him the best in his career. It is hugely embarassing to British RL that the MOS award in TB's first season, in which he was truly outstanding, went to Roby and I can't help thinking he deserves some success to make up for this outrageous snub.

You wouldn't class Gene Miles as Barrett class? You obviously weren't lucky enough to watch him then!
I've only seen one centre who was better than Miles and that was Meninga, and Miles would be a very close second to Meninga, who for my money was the best player, certainly the most complete RL player, of the modern era (though some lunatic Stains fans with no knowledge of their own club's history pre-SL think Lyon and Gidley are better!).

Tad harsh on Cowie. He didn't have Barrett's class but if he were playing today in the Soopah Doopah League he'd be a star prop. He'd certainly be our best prop.
