Out of that id say only leeds or leigh could afford n need a better full back.
I would suspect that a player of that quality would find a place somewhere in all but one of those line-ups. He is a full-back, but the kind of quality that you'd accommodate anywhere in the backs.

I hope you mean Cas mdean!! Ive said previously he's a good player, but a good person is also a good thing to look for, and he doesn't fit that profile imo.

To be honest, I didn't actually, I meant Saints. Nothing would surprise me, but I think it is highly unlikely to us!

You don’t want someone with Barba’s attitude in a team fighting relegation.
I don’t think he’s as good as most people think. He was pretty poor when he joined Saints in 2017. Did well for the first half of 2018 in a team dominating the league, but his level dropped massively towards the end of that season.
He’s not played at all in 2019 or 2020.
He’s a massive gamble, on and off the field.

Unfortunately some people like a gamble.
