Former Dally M winner and premiership player Ben Barba is set to be back in the NRL next year.

Barba’s current club, St Helens, has reportedly accepted the Cowboys’ offer as he is still contracted to St Helens for another season.

One problem that could be in Barba’s way is the NRL’s Integrity Unit, since he tested positive for cocaine just four days after the Sharks’ grand final victory.

Meanwhile in the preliminary finals, tonight Melbourne Storm takes on Rabbitohs at 9.40pm.

In the other matches, Panthers faces Warriors at 7.40pm tomorrow and Roosters meets Sharks at 9.50pm.

On Sunday, Broncos plays Dragons at 6.10pm and you can catch all the matches live on FBC TV.
