Do you think that past players, such as yourself, Stu Fielden, Kelvin Skerret, Moz, to name a few, would be prevented from playing at the current top level of our sport due to the prohibitive contact rules and over-zealous officiating?

[Taurus]

1) Are you in contact with Stu Fielden?

2) have you ever done an interview when you weren't asked about Stu Fielden?

How will the standard of punditry be affected by the decision to put all games on telly? Are there enough pundits/commentators waiting in the wings to allow for it?

Do you think Rugby League in Oldham can ever regain its previous position and crowds or has the club been away too long?

What were car rides to training like with Iestyn Harris and Kevin Sinfield? Good banter or stoney silence? 

How Irish are you really?

[Hughsehhh]

How was your back so enormous back in the day? What exercises were you doing on back day? (genuine questions)

[9' oller]

Do daffodils sprouting make you feel optimistic 

[Futtocks]

How did you compensate for the loss of an eye when it came to playing? The lack of depth perception must have made things tricky, especially when receiving a pass.

Did you apologise to Paul Sironen at FT after you went in with the elbow when playing for wigan against the Aussies!!!

[HawkMan]

Did you have to pay for a special punditry course before you joined Sky? If so did you get your money back?

Barrie, when playing, did opposition props(old and young) speak to you for pointers on how to emulate your aggressive style or how to improve, or did you ever go out of your way to contact a young prop outside of your club to give him advice.

[Barry Badrinath]

also any young props you came up against in your playing areer that you were disapointed that didn't make it

[DavidM]

Who’s the toughest opponent you faced ?

[Stainesrover]

How did you come to play for Ireland internationally McDermott sounds Scottish to me!

[RigbyLuger]

Did Phil Clarke ever offer fashion advice?

[Josef K]

Do you listen to podcasts Barrie if so what are your faves. 
 

What type of music do you have on when you’re in your car, or do you listen to any particular radio station!!!!. 

[StandOffHalf]

Is he going to wear a polo neck jumper on TV?

[Barry Badrinath]

Following the removal of the shoulder charge, and the changes to tackle heights this season, should the ball carrier now not be allowed to 'lead' with his shoulder when hitting the ball up?
