The last contract of his I recall (cant remember the exact year) Flanno put him on a long term deal at a bargain price, not sure if he got upgraded since then (post 2016 perhaps) but I think it was somewhere in the $350k a year over 4 or 5 years sorta deal
yea they play in some lower tier English division - wouldn't think they would be flying back to Toronto every week
Barba has maybe a couple good few years left in him before that zip starts to fade, Holmes has an entire career ahead of him with the best yet to come
Bringing barba back isn't enough to give us another premiership (unless Moylan finds a way to play out of his skin) , not a great trade
Holmes leaving is assumptions and speculation - if we can have both holmes AND Barba in our team again then **** yes i'm all for that
You cant think too far into the future though. Holmes has a lot longer in the game left than barba, but who says we can hold onto him for his whole career? The nrl is getting to the point where rosters are only worth planning for a 2 year block cos players or clubs will move to make transfers at the drop of a hat.
Id take Barba now, knowing even if we didnt get him Holmes will eventually pack up and leave anyway
