Ben Barba will attempt to make a comeback to the Telstra Premiership next year after reaching an agreement with English club St Helens to release him from the final year of his contract.

NRL.com has confirmed with the Barba camp that he will finish his stint in the Super League at the end of this season and NRL clubs have already enquired about his services for 2019.

Let the media circus/rumour mill begin....

I know its close to no chance due to our cap situation but imagine snagging Seggy and Barba and having Lewis continue to develop, oh my what a spine that would be.
