Benji Barba

[Windy70]

I find the idea of Nu and Barba in the halves a lot more exciting than robbo and Barba. Robson bores the shit out of me.

I second that, but I don't think Nu can lead just yet. I'll be happy to have a cool head steering to get a few comp points before we throw anyone in the deep end and hope they learn the ropes.

If TC had kept his shyte together it would be a whole different scenario.

reminds me, gotta change my Avatar.

Neville Costigan back in Australia looking for a NRL club still only 29, would be handy pickup for a 1 year

Isn't he another one of Bennett's favourites...? Prolly end up at the donkeys

In a million years no.

 

[Miller was a legend]

Would be a nice announcement next week...Barba, Beale and Stanley

 

[chewsta]

Apprently Beale was confirmed on 7 news as signing with us? Anybody else see that?

 

[Sharkman]

I saw it too chewie, just curious as to how they got the exclusive, as they called it.

 

[bluefox1968]

I doubt Costigan will end up at the Broncos - Wayne B showed him the door at the Broncos, the Dragons and the Knights, although he did play well under Bennett.

He's a good player, but I don't think he's a good fit for us. Maybe he's just not consistent / self-motivated enough - obviously something wasn't right...

 

[Card Shark]

You never cease to amaze me.

Messiah's theory is sign everyone & then we win by default.

Unfortunately there is a salary cap & we can't afford it anyway

 

[southland]

Would be a nice announcement next week...Barba, Beale and Stanley

...and Bukuya

 

[Madsharkie]

Barba and Bukuya the key signings for me too southland

 

[Frailty]

I see Matt Srama has been told he is unwanted by the Titans...

Could be a decent back up for Ennis...

Though, I'm hopeful we decide to go with an 80 minute dummy half approach.

 

[Madsharkie]

I'd rather Nu as the back up hooker frailty. That way he can get continued exposure at nrl level and be a good back up for injuries in the halves.
I think we need to use the money on a prop rather than another hooker.

 

[THE MESSIAH !!!]

We dont sign everyone but show an interest in most at least to push there price up and make other club strain there cap as well

 

[ghoti]

Hahahhahahahahahahahaha

 

[azzah72]

We can only get Barba if the Broncs come to the party with some sort of severance package.

We can't take him if we have to completely take over the contract.

Final Hurdle I'd say but there are other clubs having a crack at him.

we'd be 85% though.

 

[carcharias]

Im hearing roosters are firming as favourites to pick him up now.

 

[Griffoshark66]

Of course they are.

 

[Card Shark]

Could be like how we got gazumped with the other Benji, by the Dragons.

That was a good result, if we miss Barba, it won't be.

 

[southland]

Roosters have Ferguson to manage....

 

[Feej]

Roosters are allowed to buy anyone they want. Nothing to see there.
