I wonder how he’ll be thought of in the future now by the Saints fans. A few months back they were saying he was the best overseas player since the likes of Meninga or Lyon.

They didn't offer him enough opportunities near the white line.

He was great right up until his agent landed him a deal back in Oz. After which time he became much less effective. Still fantastic to watch for the first 2/3rds of the season, and any other club would have loved to have him. But once the Oz deal was on the table, he clearly wasn't the same player.

Roy enjoy your off season its just started. Leave the big finals to the big teams.

How could Barba be right up there, a full back that cant tackle will never be up anywhere. Hes good with the ball against the lesser teams. Thats it. They guy has no heart.

Not sure why Barba is getting so much stick, it was a forwards game, very little chances for any of the backs, he didn't stand out but didn't do a lot wrong either

His efforts in defence on Lineham left a lot to be desired. Why be a Full Back when you can't tackle?

Barba was pathetic tonight...MoS my booty...the two games that really matter...both Semi finals....Barba Papa might have been a better option

Well I’m gutted. Just got in from work and the game hasn’t recorded.

Anyone of the three left in can win it, Wigan beating Castleford is far from a foregone conclusion, I’m quite nervous about it to be honest.

Off to redvee now to have a giggle while I still can.

I remember reading Red Vee, straight after their semi loss to Cats, and one sage poster said....

....we'd better win the Grand Final, or this will be the biggest bottle job in history....

What a wise man


As they say in Elephant Lane.....bokkle jobs

Are Saints the RL equivalent of Liverpool?
