I think what rod is getting at (correct me if i'm wrong) is we have had a fan base long before barba was in our team and we will have a fan base long after he is gone. I will happily admit players like barba do bring your average joe who probably wouldn't attend a game or watch it on TV (whichever) to the game and obviously this drives up exposure and $$$. Let's not kid ourselves here, the NRL and all it's clubs are a business.
just look at our crowds in 2008 and now in 2013...period!
