Ben Barba stood down

[Guest]

Yep. Domestic violence and out of the game for 12 months. WOW!!!!!!

Where'd you get that from, Greenberg said anywhere between 6 weeks & 6 months??

[Guest]

Does the season start get any better!!

I really don't know how any genuine supporter of this great game could say that. I would expect a Souths supporter to respond like that.

Apparently it's what Wally said not what was going to happen.

Greenberg did not suggest anything about what he did. But if he did what Wally suggested then I'm sure the NRL would not be happy with 6 weeks.

BTW I think Greenburg said it could be six weeks, it could be six month......I suppose that could also mean it could be 12 months.

so barba to the shire then i guess

Starting to smell like a cover up.

Greenberg has stated "it wasn't a Police matter", but if what Wally says is true it most definately is a Police matter.

Chook.

Greenberg has stated "it wasn't a Police matter", but if what Wally says is true it most definitely is a Police matter.

Chook.

If the police weren't called to the alleged incident & the girl doesn't want to press charges, then it won't be a police matter, doesn't mean it didn't happen though, allegedly!!

As per the alleged Greg Bird incident
As per the alleged Greg Inglis incident
As per the alleged Watts incident

Shit! There goes the Dogs season.

Sounds like he's dealing with major mental issues, "step by step process", "dealing with this for a long time", "wearing a mask".

Chook.

Nah they have Perret to replace him

It'll be interesting to see if that comes to light and how the media will handle it if it does.

I'll say this, it's a good opportunity for Robbo to use as an example to our young guys of what can go wrong when you become a star in our game. I'm sure a lot of them would be under the same allusion as us that Barba had the world at his feet and now that world has been pulled from under him.

Chook.

Guys, this too is sensitive information. Please be careful and responsible with what you post. Thanks

How much did BJ get hammered by the Telucrap?

If he did what has been allegedly suggested then I wonder if they will give the News Ltd club a bit of leniancy.

Another face of the game for the season launch takes a fall.
That gig is a kiss of death...

Wouldn't want them to hand you the poisoned challice, eh?

I was thinking the same thing mate, a def lesson for all players to keep there nose clean. Lets see if it all comes out it will be interesting to see how to media goes about it and the NRL.

[bondi-boy]

IMAGINE if he were a Roosters player!

[Muffdaddy]

We constantly put these players on pedastals and they keep letting us down.
I feel for the kids who idolised him. I feel sorry for Ben Barba's kids. Hopefully they are too young to understand (right now) what is going on and Ben can make up for whatever it is, before his kids are too old, or have a different father.
