Quote MarginMeter="MarginMeter"On a related subject, I was interested in Ben Barba’s interview on the Super League show. When he said he had made some “bad choices” that had taken him to “dark places” it wasn’t entirely clear if he was referring to drugs or signing for St Helens, but to my ears he more or less said that although his contract is for a couple of years he expects to be gone back to the NRL at the end of the season'"
Mmmmm... that’s quite interesting.
I wonder if there is a clause in his contract (a Hiku clause) that says he may leave after one season should a NRL club be interested. Maybe Warrington wouldn’t agree to that condition based on the Sandow saga, and that played a big factor in his decision where to go? Or maybe it’s just because we are poop at the moment.
I fully expect him to play out of his skin this year to resurrect his NRL career. Even if he only lasts this season it’s probably been a good deal for Saints as he’s a matchwinner.
