Barba has been publicly bagging the dogs for not giving him the start in the absence of Brett Kimorley...
Quote ="The Clan"if we were to sign this particular 19-year-old (Ben Barba) I for one would be delighted.
I can't see it happening though as he is still very highly rated by the Canterbury Bulldogs and they are unlikely to let him go.
If he were to become available I'm pretty sure we would face some stiff competition for his signature. There would have been rumours around the rugby league message boards by now and apart from myself and one or two others mentioning him a few weeks ago I haven't read anything
our overseas and non-Federation trained quotas must be at the limit by now as we have signed three non-Federation players and if the Ben Jeffries rumours are true along with the possible re-signing of Michael Korkidas that would be five.
