Ben Barba potential time out away from the NRL gold fish bowl and in time to replace the obviously exiting Tomkins? Very similar players in style and I'm sure Sam's wages would be promising to Barba as well as a less intense media focus on him. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/nrl/bulldogs-stand-down-ben-barba-indefinitely/story-fnca0von-1226585272226

Sounds like Barba needs time away from the game full stop and as and when he's better he'll be back playing in the NRL.

Regardless of issues he's too high profile to be moving to superleague in it's current state.

I have heard that as part of his promise to put bums on seats, Koukash is trying to sign Oscar Pistorius.

I heard from a sauce that Salford offered Wigan a £1M t/fer fee and Koukash promised Sam 40 virgins as a signing-on bonus. Wigan accepted but the dr couldnt find the virgins

Ben Barba- violent alcoholic dropped for being unprofessional- we'd have him, give him some time out of Aus, I'll personally sort him out, he can stay in my spare room, come to the cinema on Wesnesdays with a chippy tea thrown in...

Gareth Hock- scum of the earth.
