Ben Barba stood down

[mightyrooster]

Blog live with Buzz now re Ben Barba.

I just asked him how he was going to turn the Barba story around to make it the Roosters fault, pretty sure he won't publish it!

You should have asked him if he planned to hound him Carney style until he was sacked so he could sign him up at the sharks.

Ben Barba

Has been stood down indefinitely by the Dogs.....doesn't say if it's part of the ongoing investigation, but it would have to be something serious. You don't stand down you best player for no reason......

Sorry if this is in the wrong section....

Bet he'll be back for round 6.

Earlier than that.

Definatley back when they loose the first 2 games

Appropriate that the game's marquee player is levelled by gaming, the NRL's blood sucking cash cow.

Poor bastard.

Hope he sorts his shit out soon.

For some reason I seem to be agreeing with a lot of your comments recently Bansai Pipeline.

There are many that will celebrate the demise of one of our oppossition's star players but it is very unfortunate. Barba was great to watch last year and I was looking forward to him go around again this year. I don't want to come across as an ultra-conservative or anything but I really believe gambling and alcoholism to be a scourge upon Australian society. I'm not suggesting either should be banned but the retarded drinking culture of our country has only become more common place and now betting is simply everywhere. As we all know many can simply not control their urges and it is destroying lives.

Andrew Voss is suggesting that a split with his partner and two kids might be an issue.

Narrative might be: Gambling -> partner fed up and leaves -> turns to the bottle -> not ready to play.

He seems like a nice kid. I hope he gets it back together.

Horseshit. Gambling, smoking, drinking are choices and the people making them need to own up to the fact they are making them, not the substance.

Chook.

Bashed his mrs.....interesting to c how the mutts play this one out????

Very sad. Hope it is sorted & he gets his act back on track.

What odds the Dogs for 2013 if he is out indefinitely?

[Geohood]

He genuinely doesn't seem the type

Wow, do you sleep in between ben and his mrs at night ?

How would you know that

If Carney had been disciplined and had fixed his issues with professional help with a fair stint out of the game in his earlier years, then he may still been at our club.

you could tell Greenberg was furious with Barba, sounds like this has been an issue for quite a while, surprised to hear Greenberg say that contract termination was discussed, I wonder what happened between saturday nights trial against the Raiders till now for such extreme action to be taken.

This is crap listening to this press conference.

You do not step down your best player for breaking up with your girlfirend. I really believe he has belted his girlfirend. Cause in the All Stars Game, he didn't look like he was playing with a problem on his mind!!!
