Barba couldn't be bothered once he had a contract to go back to the NRL. He came to the UK following a misdemeanor, and Widdop doesn't carry such baggage.

wish you had given me that advice before i paid my £315 for season ticket then i could have found another club thanks for the advice didn't know giants had too many supporters

If you have just paid for a season ticket then try to be positive with what looks to be a good squad for next year and a quality coach.

£315 for a season ticket why didn't you buy at the earlier price of £139?

I suspect he’s one of the “legend” crew.

puts this one to bed!

Downside, we lose out on a big name player who is very high quality

Upside, we haven't blown a massive chunk of cap money on a 31 year old halfback who's best years will be done by the time he gets here.
