WT could go after Barba

[Joe's Magpies]

Barba on the radar
Wests Tigers just may have a crack at Bulldogs star fullback Ben Barba. Barba is being hunted by several Queensland clubs but we hear the Tigers may soon join the queue. The Tigers haven't had a regular fullback since Brett Hodgson left for Super League. Barba would fit the fill beautifully if he decides to leave Belmore. And he may have a new team-mate at Concord - Parramatta co-captain Reni Maitua.

From the NRL Lurker

Why do we need Barbara. We have Tedesco there.

 

[gronkathon]

The lurker is an idiot

 

[macnaz]

Yeah but Barba wins matches almost weekly, any way the word is its a done deal with him an the Bronx.

Why do we need Barbara. We have Tedesco there.

Not that the barba rumour is serious at all, but you're kidding with this statement right?

 

[Matchball]

Basket case. Epic bender crew not welcome at the tigers.
We can't afford him so it's just not going to happen.

 

[madunit]

Maitua and Barba - f**k no.

Glad it was a rumour from the Lurker, I haven't come across one of his rumours yet this has been correct.

I suspect the Lurker is someone like Sam Ayoub.

 

[BrotherJim05]

Maitua and Barba - f**k no.

Agreed. Rather let Tedesco develop his game and save the money for one solid, premiere back rower...late 20s max, no more 30 year-olds

 

[TYGA]

Reni Maitua was last good in 2004 that was 9 years ago. Never a dominant forward and too old. Apparently character issues so why would we look at him.
