I'd have Chris Sandow over Barba every time and in terms of games played, a reasonable comparison can be made. Chris Sandow was SL player of the month for the opening 2 months-as far as I'm aware the only person to achieve this.

Is this a joke? What a laughable suggestion, Barba is 10 times the player hence why Sandow isn’t even at an NRL club. Sandow also went missing in the CC final and GF. Hasn’t Barba won player of the month for the first 3 months?

Isn’t Sandow looking for a club

The only joke here is your intellect. He went missing in the CC final because he was injured and he returned from injury coming on as substitute in the GF. Also, the reason Sandow hasn't got an NRL club is down to 'off field issues' and not down to talent. Barba is without doubt an outstanding player, but Sandow had the complete skill set at the highest of levels and for me, more of a mercurial player.

You’ve just confirmed you’re delusional. Despite your excuses you’ve basically agreed that he was rubbish in the CC and GF, therefore how can he have the ‘complete skill set at the highest of levels’? Also, one has won the Dally M and is an NRL Grand Final winner whilst the other can’t get an NRL contract. Barba is on 37 tries and try assists combined in 13 games, that’s incredible. Sandow is nowhere near the level of Barba, never has been and never will be.

Sandow lol. That’s a belter even for you Gazwire.

Leeds have had some fantastic imports over the years who have all excelled in much tougher super leagues. Whilst Barba is class, just look at the standard of super league this year.

Was only at Wigan a couple of years but trent barrett was quality for wigan, possible candidate?

LeBron James and AS108- must be my lucky day lol! Two classic saints fans.

You’ve left the game early. Trying to beat traffic?

Barrett was class!

I’m not sure anyone in their right mind would argue that Sandow is better than Barba.

Wigan supporters are quickly becoming like idiot Liverpool fans in football.

You can't name a quality player without this lot piping up naming one of their own as better.

Oh and 'Gazwire' continues to be a total crackpot. Sandow lol. How many times did he win the Dally M in the NRL? He's that good he can't even get a club thesedays.

For the Super League era only (1996-201icon_cool.gif the choice of the best import is between the top 14:

Benjamin Barba (St. Helens)
James Lyon (St. Helens)
Matthew Gidley (St. Helens)
Leslie Vainikolo (Bradford)
Henry Paul (Wigan)
Robert Paul (Bradford)
Trent Barrett (Wigan)
Steven Menzies (Bradford, Catalans)
Stacey Jones (Catalans)
Scott Dureau (Catalans)
Christopher Sandow (Warrington)
David Solomona (Wakefield, Bradford, Warrington)
Richard Swain (Hull FC)
Albert Kelly (Hull FC)

The list shows the refined judiciousness of St. Helens recruitment of overseas players, and the same for Catalans up until the departure of Trent Robinson as coach.

Jamie Lyon is the best ive seen but Barba will be pushing him close the form he is in.

At my own club Richard Swain was absolutely immense and lifted Hull out of the doldrums to a CC win and Grand Final.

Because he asked Cronulla to release him and he wasn’t a very good union player?
