What ? Just checked moles replies and I can see nothing like that. He says it's between 3 clubs

Ah! Vodka....., it was someone called Madgangster16 who replied to my tweet saying Saints not Moley. Doh!

IF Barba signs for a superleague club it will be transformative.

He has his issues, however talent wise he has lashings of it.

If Saints signed him i would be salivating as he can score and set up trys from anywhere on the pitch and is genuinly quick

If he signs for us I guess that's the end of Lomax, need to free up his big chunk of wages in the cap to get Barba in, plus if he does eventually sign and his 12 game ban come into play we probably not see him till next year!

Sky sports says we are firm favourites but I remember when we was firm favourite to sign Ali lautiti when he first came over

I can't believe people think that it's anything other than a one horse race with saints the only runner.

Despite various tittle tattle here and there I don't believe Wires were ever in for him.

And to see Stefan Ratchford on twitter rubishing the sky team suggestions that he was moving as part of the deal is a real shame for him he's our best player and an honest pro he didn't deserve that from the Muppets at sky. ....

Barba will be good for saints and good for super league. .though it would be nice one day to sign a quality NRL player that hasn't interfered with drugs, wife beating, alcohol. Dogs or their own urine. ....

nope your probably right..... its a sad state of affairs....
a few weeks ago on our forum we were mulling over potential signings and I had mentioned Shaun Kenny Dowell as a realistic signing due to being a kiwi and a non state of origin player.....
