BIG signing coming soon

[Snake]

Ben Barber is a hack nuff said what a waste of 20 pages.. big disappointment !

Barba is 28 years old… Gordon is 33?

 

[weststigers]

Barba was killing it before he was exiled and he is killing it now after his ban.

He would be a good player for us and provide some playmaking ability from fullback.

As long as he's kept on a tight leash by the playing group, I'm cool with it.

The correlation between Gordon & Barba being that we were chasing Gordon during the off season, he may be a bit older than Barba but they are both standing at the end of a cul-de-sac without a GPS.
We could have picked up Barba cheap as chips last year when he was begging for an NRL contract, why the sudden interest now when his manager has been pumping his mates at the Daily Telegraph to put him on a pedestal after an above average game in the old dart.
Barba has been weened onto baked beans, fried egg and hot chips for breakfast, he won’t be able to stomach Skippy Cornflakes.

I remember in 2016 Flan had Barbs coming off the bench as a super sub for the first part of the year. In a lot of those games it was pretty even at half time then Barba would come on and carve up. Val also was in peak form.
Maybe Cleary might use him off the bench.
If it plays out that way. Marsters could do a small stint in the backrow. The attack in the second half with LoLo, Barba, ect in the outside backs could cause a lot of havoc to opposition defences

 

[TonyTiger]

I think I’m probably alone here but as a progressive fullback I really like Watson Haleta to be groomed as a future prospect.
I’d be interested to know other opinions, he doesn’t seem to rate a mention for some reason.

Let me commit to you all, if I ever find out from someone "in the know" about a potential signing, I will name the player and not have this 18-page waste of time where we all guess about the focal point of a totally unsupported rumour.

I don't care if this is legit or not, stop playing games with your info, it's tiresome.

Thanks, but your self esteem and ego wont be inflated without all the attention

Spot on jirksyr. There's only 2 reasons to pkay the guessing game, one is to protect the player and or source, the 2nd is for attention.

If I was having a guess it would be Door Number 2….

 

[Tiger_Watto]

Everyone does it different and I suppose they have their reasons.

I dont see a problem in naming the player in this scenario, but there are other scenarios where I wouldnt.

Most importantly, I would never give out a source. [unless I have had too much wine]

lol some people are reading too much into 'hidden messages' that aren't even there.

HALF clues?

BACK in the day I may have given FULL clues but not anymore.

Clear and simple translation, and the only real clue - fullback turned halfback.

That could mean Gutherson, Norman, Moses, Munster, Milford, just saying

Woah! Fight! Fight! Fight! Get the nukes!

Nope…no fight.. just calling it as I see it.
im happy for.inside goss...guessing games though aren't my thing

 

[underdog]

I'm hoping it's Folau, O'Connor, or Gutherson.

Don't really want Barba. he's had ONE GOOD GAME back with Superleague, and I think he's poison to a team.

 

[Hbom]

The way I read the clues, I think we are talking about an ex-fullback who is now a half. Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think Barba has lined up in the 6 or 7 anywhere.

He did for Brisbane at one stage, but nothing major to really call him a half. Quade Cooper?

 

[The-moP]

If it is Barba .. he's season overseas finishes mid season or so (NRL season Rd8 or 9) so he could looking to slot in around then…but its depending if the NRL will allow his registration in time for 2018 .. hence 2019 .. ??
