If true that we are willing to let one of our better players go to Saints in favour of signing an import with issues then the management at Warrington is even worse than i thought. Stupid decision if it is true.

Sky reporting Barba in the Sts dressing room? Seems a bit weird if he's signed for us??

I'll believe it when i see it in writing confirmed. How confident are you duckie?

Rumour is a done deal.

Oh now it's Rumour, not what you said earlier.

Everything is rumour until you read it in the Guardian.
Done deal. Still a rumour.

If Ratchford is part of any deal to leave this club I'll hand my season ticket in on Monday morning...... He is the only player with ball skills in the entire side.....

If it means Ratchford going to Saints, then Smith should be sacked

Nothing to do with Ratch

Shocking if true. He is the last player I would want us to lose.

I thought Ratchford had signed for Wigan?!

I'd be surprised if Barba had signed for anyone yet: good bit of business to get him paraded around in front of all the teams to aid the bidding-after tonight's showing I would hope Moran would be digging as deep as he needs to, both to get Barba and to keep Ratch. With Benny and FB and Ratch in the centre, that god awful back line suddenly starts to look a lot better.

The rumours we've been hearing on the Saints sites were that it was between Saints, Wire and Catalans for his signature. It quickly progressed to both you and Catalans offering far more than Saints, but that it was okay because we'd get Ratchford if he signed for you or Tony Gigot if he signed for Catalans. Very strange as you've got so many off contract that you wouldn't be forced to oust Ratchford and have several who you'd surely let go first, such as your pathetic outside backs.

It was an interesting setup wasn't it. Sky picked up on his being there, but didn't show who he was sitting with. From what they showed on Sky, he watched the Wakefield/Widnes game, the Saints/Hull game then left. They said on Sky he was in the Saints dressing room and from what people on Twitter were saying, he never went back to watch your game. Has he played with anyone in the Saints camp?

Let's look at the evidence.

We sign him. We'll STILL play Smith/Agar's formulaic dross.
He'll try and play "off the cuff" stuff. He'll get reigned in by Smith/Agar
He'll go"off the rails" (he does have a history)
He'll "bugger off"

Now. Where have I heard this before?


If this deal goes through, Smith needs locking up, and Moran needs certifying

There is a risk with him but he's one hell of a player. Check out his showreel on the 'video sharing website'- I'm certain he would put bums back on seats.
