Is it just me that doesn't see what the sockfest is over Barba? Yes he's a very good player but for me I think it more a sad indictment of the sport in the country that gulf in talent between SL & NRL is growing.
RFL have been failing to promote and market the sport to generate the needed media and revenue streams.
The days of seeing truly world class players are long gone due to the salary gap gulf so we only see players who either struggle to make the NRL or have trouble ala Barba.
Think the best part of St Helens & Barba is Holbrook as he has taken a poorly performing team and improved how they play massively.
Don't get me wrong Barba is good but still no where near the greats we have seen grace the game.
