Barba wants to come back to the NRL

[Nasheed]

Shit I wonder what rugby contracts allow in terms of termination?

It annoys me if he's getting the balance of his $2.5 million contract paid out after 3 months.

Im more curious why they want to punt him so quickly.

Yuk fuck him but for $1 maybe

Wasted $1

 

[Sword]

Yeah... but he was younger and faster

And opponents hadn't figured him out back then.

Reasonable question and one only answered by the quote;

BEN Barba’s French rugby dream is over after the Cronulla premiership hero was cast adrift by Toulon, paving the way for a shock return to the NRL this year.

The French giants have told the former Dally M player of the year he is not part of the club’s plans once their season ends in a matter of weeks.

Considering the way Toulon roll and their habit of signing those who are running away from trouble it does make you wonder.

The guy's another Rennie Maitua - shoulda, coulda but didn't. Had the natural talents to be a great player but lacked the necessary head muscle. Wasted his opportunities. Demonstrated with Cronulla - his second chance - that he doesn't have the mental discipline and toughness.

If cronulla are throwing big dollars dugan's way then it doesn't leave many decent fullbacks on the open market.

I'd take back barba even with his off field dramas. It's worth the risk and gamble if we want that elusive premiership

 

[Rodzilla]

him being punted so early implies that he isnt going to be paid out

they probably had a deal that they could flick him off easily at anytime because he had no leverage
