Quote: Juan Cornetto "Barba is a class act with all the skills and Saints deserve the success and credit for bringing him to SL. That he is so far ahead of any of the best backs currently in SL shows how far our sport has fallen in recent years. Our game is badly in need of class as without the genuine stars SL will continue to decline and fans and sponsors will disappear.'"
