Ben Barba has been sacked by North Queensland Cowboys. I doubt he will get another chance at an NRL club. Could London be in the run in to sign him if he returns to Super League? There won’t be many Super League clubs with space left on the salary cap for 2019.

Doubt it, not least because the club seeming to be paying quite a bit of attention to the character of the players they sign.

This is his second offence, so I am not sure I would want to touch him. Obviously a very good player,but you have to question his character

No one Disputes his Rugby Prowess

But what Sort of Team would want a person Who Punches his Partner in the Head while vexed in the Middle of a Casino in the Full view of hundreds of People. ??
He Wouldn't get a Visa for the UK If he's charged for it,So That excludes Even Toronto That would only leave Catalan As a option Due to the French being slightly more Lax on Misdemeanours .

By the time it goes through the courts and he actually has a criminal conviction, if that even happens, it could be the back end of 2019 with the majority of the season over.

Yes his character is very questionable, this along with salary cap restraints is why I think he will play out this year somewhere left field, at a club who under normal circumstances wouldn’t stand a chance of signing the likes of Barba. He’s just too good a player to not get picked up by anybody.

I cannot see him coming to London Broncos. There is always some club out there, who will take troubled players. Look, Wigan took Zak Hardaker for example.

Hughes won't go with someone that will upset the team mentality. He got rid of Gigot and Moore for 'bad behaviour' outside of the club. He isn't going to buy it in thats for sure






Mac out!

And how would the club pay his wage I wasnt aware money really did grow on trees. Why assume DH can afford it or would want to afford it
