Had his contract terminated immediately by the North Queensland Cowboys over an incident at a Townsville casino.

Wigan might have a slight problem in getting Barba. It's called the salary cap.

Having read the Australian media its unlikely he will be lacing up a pair of rugby boots for a while in the NRL.

As for any club over here taking him on, Think of the bad publicity....the cctv footage of the incident will no doubt surface on social media,probable court case ,loss of potential or current sponsors and fans etc.

Even if we wanted to, we can’t. The RFL have an agreement with the NRL that anyone who is banned over there is also banned over here.
Not sure how it would stand up to scrutiny, but when Saints signed him the RFL made him sit out the ban he had over there.
