He was. I think the joint venture and Mundine dramas impacted him. Had he’d been left alone to develop without all that, plus not had Nathan Brown learning to coach for all those years, just imagine how great that would have been.
@@tasteofsteelyes he played 2nd fiddle there for sure. But when Mundine quit mid way thru 2000 Barrett found his form again. Would love to have seen Kimmorely and Barrett together in 98 but the deal was blocked by super league.
I remember being at this match. Fantastic clash between two great sets of players during a turbulent divided season. Great to see big Arty Beetson in the crowd.
Some quality tries from the Steelers. 97 Barrett was so good to watch.

Come on mighty Wollongong we're the Illawarra Steelers.
Can't go wrong with a name so strong, gonna give 'em the taste of steel
“You can’t go wrong,
with the men so strong,
Gonna give ‘em the taste of steel!”
There is no club song that even comes close.
I look at the crowds at these games and I'm amazed that the Roosters survived the Super League war.
It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.
I miss the Steelers.
First time I've seen Fittler in the 7 jumper, looks so weird
Terrible logo from the Roosters
Indeed! Looks like it was made by a primary school kid!
