He would count on the cap, marquee players count but have a fixed amount, 75k for UK 150k for overseas players.

One rumour in one Twitter comment has apparently turned into fact somehow

didn't work for st. helens with barba why do you think it would work at the giants and think it would be a bit too rich for us would rather pay over the odds for long term crocks and second rate players

Barba that won man of steel and took St Helens to the league leaders trophy. You do post some absolute uneducated negative rubbish. Maybe you need to find another club.

Whether this is true or not, the fact that the rumour is out there could be a canny move for the Giants. It shows intent and the fact that we are linked with one of the top players in the world can only be a positive.
Other players of this standard might just start to sit up and take notice

I’ve heard all signed for wire but personally don’t think it’s a good move for him

Barba couldn't be bothered once he had a contract to go back to the NRL. He came to the UK following a misdemeanor, and Widdop doesn't carry such baggage.

wish you had given me that advice before i paid my £315 for season ticket then i could have found another club thanks for the advice didn't know giants had too many supporters

If you have just paid for a season ticket then try to be positive with what looks to be a good squad for next year and a quality coach.

£315 for a season ticket why didn't you buy at the earlier price of £139?

Or even £305 which is current price!
I suspect he’s one of the “legend” crew.

puts this one to bed!
