I’m not sure anyone in their right mind would argue that Sandow is better than Barba. |

Wigan supporters are quickly becoming like idiot Liverpool fans in football.
You can't name a quality player without this lot piping up naming one of their own as better.
Oh and 'Gazwire' continues to be a total crackpot. Sandow lol. How many times did he win the Dally M in the NRL? He's that good he can't even get a club thesedays.

For the Super League era only (1996-201icon_cool.gif the choice of the best import is between the top 14:
Benjamin Barba (St. Helens)
James Lyon (St. Helens)
Matthew Gidley (St. Helens)
Leslie Vainikolo (Bradford)
Henry Paul (Wigan)
Robert Paul (Bradford)
Trent Barrett (Wigan)
Steven Menzies (Bradford, Catalans)
Stacey Jones (Catalans)
Scott Dureau (Catalans)
Christopher Sandow (Warrington)
David Solomona (Wakefield, Bradford, Warrington)
Richard Swain (Hull FC)
Albert Kelly (Hull FC)
The list shows the refined judiciousness of St. Helens recruitment of overseas players, and the same for Catalans up until the departure of Trent Robinson as coach.

Jamie Lyon is the best ive seen but Barba will be pushing him close the form he is in.
At my own club Richard Swain was absolutely immense and lifted Hull out of the doldrums to a CC win and Grand Final.

Because he asked Cronulla to release him and he wasn’t a very good union player? |

Are you really idiotic enough to think that Cronulla actually released him and that saying he wasn’t very good at a completely different sport somehow makes him not as good? |

First half is fair but near enough the whole of the second half is a joke. |

Leeds have had some fantastic imports over the years who have all excelled in much tougher super leagues. Whilst Barba is class, just look at the standard of super league this year.

I was saying that I prefer Sandow to Barba and not saying that Sandow was in line for best import.
My nomination would be for one of the Paul brothers.
Also, well worked out that I'm not at the game Einstein. |

Eh? “Went missing...”? He went missing in the CC final because he came off injured after an 80m break and he was injured until his sub appearance in the GF. |

Can’t backtrack now, you said that you’d have Sandow over Barba every time and that Sandow ‘has the complete skill set at the highest level’ and is a ‘more mercurial player’. You called Sandow better which is completely idiotic. |

Hilarious, Barba could sign for most NRL teams, Sandow can’t sign for any. The most delusional and ridiculous post I’ve ever seen on any form of social media. |

And you really believe that, that’s the equivalent of Garry Lo asking for his contract to be torn up and Cas agreeing, didn’t happen. You are seriously naive if you believe Barba got to choose whether to stay or not.

Hardly, he was only facing a 12 game ban, Cronulla would have kept him on if not for the request |

Second time he’d failed a drugs test and he’s been in trouble for other stuff before. Cronulla were hardly going to keep him on. |

For the reasons I’ve just stated plus it brings a bad light on the club if they don’t act and at least make it look like he’s a reformed character. |

And how will it look if/when they re-sign him next year or after his contract ends? Cronulla aren't that bothered about the 'Bad Light' angle, they've got Andrew Fifita playing for them |
