Some of the kennelers want Hastings signed by the club WHAT THE HELL IS FOR.
Call me mad call me what you wanna call me...
If we are prepared to take a chance on a troubled player why not SOS BEN BARBA ?
I have seen some of his highlights in England he isn't as fast as he used to be but the guy still got it, he is the X factor that we never replaced.
The CEO and Deano should make some inquiries about how stable his personal life is and if the results are encouraging they should WAST NO TIME BRINGING HIM BACK !!!
He could finally be our 1/2 or 5/8
Should we be tempted ???
With what money?

It's a moot point this entire thread.

St Helens have him signed till end of 2019 as he signed with them in 2017 for a 2 1/2 year deal.

By then he'll be almost 30.

It's come to that stage hasn't it, where we are getting desperate for something to change that we consider low life scums like Barba but hey who am i to judge, come back Benny! We never really recovered after he left.
He was responsible for 1 good year of footy we have had since 2010

No need to use the word clown buddy! Last but not least the SL is not the NRL therefore he would need to serve his penalty here!
No

The SL, Union said they would allow the ban that was handed down by the NRL.

Why didn’t we throw everything & anything (incl. kitchen sink) at Latrell Mitchell for 2019 and onwards... clearing some big contracts would have been worth the dime!

He’s playing well overseas and looks overweight.

Because Mitchell is a massive wanker and a tool!

You are right...I started this thread purely to make a point to
the people who are contemplating the thought of having Hastings.
I am still waiting for the rock star, now a half back not a fullback :tonguewink:

TBH the last time I was excited about the bulldogs and any player for that matter was Ben Barba. Sad truth.

Didn’t say he wasn’t a “turd” never said he was a saint either lol, simply stated he still had good skills as a footy player lol :grinning:
In England amongst second rate players, I am afraid I have nothing nice to say about any drug user, NRL player or not. Can't stand the little prick, I put him in the same sewer pipe as $BW.

No this is not a forum...

Latrell re-signed in March 2018 didn’t realise Des was still coaching. Then again with the current results and team footy who could tell any different.

Love to see the Dogs target Mason Lino from the Warriors; he has been a stand out in the Warriors wins over Rorters and Saints but can't get a regular first grade spot there for obvious reasons.. oh and he can goal kick
