Whoop whoop!

I thought days like this had long gone at Saints, but this is fun and needs to be celebrated. No need for screenshotting by Rogues and the like as we're all aware it might not work out. But the fact that the club has signed a world class player is great.

I could cry. I feel like a 6 year old. I want his name on my jersey and I want his autograph! Got to back the club now. Were showing ambition and the club needs our backing!!

Barba 'sings' until the end of 2019?

I would have thought he's here to play Rugby myself...

Where's King James.....don't tell me he's gone to buy his Catalans season ticket...

Even a 8yr old could see what it means and is a mistake. Predictive txt for you.

Genuine question, where does this leave Lomax? Out on his bottle and glass? Same for Makinson really.

If the magic man decides to show us his magic we will be in for an incredible ride.

One of the most gifted footballers i have ever seen.

I think in many regards he is probably the George Best of Aussie RL. Supremely talented but with significant internal demons.

I will reward the club with a season ticket next year. They deserve it.

May use him as back up full back, stand off, hooker. Makinson will probably go back to wing, with Swift becoming 3rd choice winger behind him and Grace.

I think JL will have to take quite a pay cut if he is to stay, I would like him to stay.

very good signing lets hope they honour his misdemeanour though, a ban is a ban

NRL have now back flipped and said his 12 week suspension only needs to be served in Super League. We've been well and truely had.

I think that any genuine rugby league fan should welcome Barba's signing, we badly need players of his caliabre in our game. I am looking forward to seeing him play. I just hope that he sees out his contract.

Pros -

Great player (when he can be d).

Cons -

The drugs thing.
The fact Toulon RU don't want him and had him on a massive contract and he cant get back in the NRL - last option.


Segeyaro Mk2 (although he was minus the drugs).

Totally agree mate, put Tommy on wing and let Swifty have a few games off, he not looked up to much this season so far.

Welcome Barba, so looking forward to him arriving, just need to sort out if he has to serve this 12 game ban or not, glad to see we showing some ambition and backing Holbrooks judgements so early on.

I see Jack Owens has gone to Sheffield on loan for rest of season.
