Giants need a full back

Thought he was buying an NRL club in its entirety

Are they still sufficiently under the salary cap to afford him?

I think Barba would regain his 2012 form in Super League because there is more unstructured play in the English game. He thrives on unstructured play.

You have forgotten the enigmatic Frenchman, Theodore Fages.

I didn't. I didn't mention him because I don't think he'll be in their starting 13 next year.

And I think you're right. Most likely be used as an impact 9 off the bench next season. I love the lad though, great attitude and a star in the making. Great players as Chase and Dobson are, Theo should be the fulcrum of Salford for years to come (if he fulfils his undoubted potential).

Eden is struggling to keep up in training with the broncos props! Says he isn't in Oz to break into the team, but just improve as a player.

There is a man with great ambition!

When he is on his game, he's a great broken-field player. His structured play has developed since he has been with the Broncos but we saw much less individual brilliance.

He would be a good investment for any side IF you could keep him away from:
- the grog,
- pokies,
- ponies,
- other players' wives (allegedly), and
- the aptly named "Epic Bender Crew".

Then if you could deal with his depression, homesickness and tendency to go walkabout you might get him back to his 2012 form"
