The Year NOBODY could Stop Ben Barba!

Ben Barba was one of the most thrilling players during his rugby league career with unmatched speed, footwork and skill - but after a failed drugs test he was released from his Cronulla Sharks contracts and banned from the NRL...

After a failed move to rugby union, he went to the English Super League and joined St. Helens, in the 2018 season he won the Man-of-Steel, scoring 28 tries in 23 games with the Saints winning the regular season - he's only the second player to win both Man-of-Steel (UK) and Dally M (Aus) awards

He was incredible in his sole full season in England, no defence could handle him from any area of the field, he was untouchable as seen in these highlights - this earned him a move back to the NRL where he would once again find controversy and find himself sacked before playing a game.

Despite his off-the-field wrongs and trouble, on the pitch, he was an outstanding player.
