Barba sacked by Cowboys

[Meapro Ham]

There would be breaking news stories all over the tv righy now if he was at the Sharks
Married at first sight would be taken off air for an exclusive investigation and all papers would be in meltsown

Media scum

Yeah. Anything to do with the manly sharks is always big news in this town

 

[Frederick]

Soooo...cowboys for the spoon this year, yes?

 

[Spot On]

Another wonderful advertisement for the NRL.

Why does this sport feel the need to give chance after chance after chance to its participants.

Still a while to go before round 1 ... bring on the next deadshit act.

 

[Spot On]

This is an absolute ‘gimme’ for Greenberg. If he’s smart enough he’ll take it. Let’s see.

Prepared to hold your breath?

Saloon passage for Greenburger... will he take it?

 

[Wizardman]

I think Greenberg with take the opportunity to make an example of him....would be rightfully so in this instance.

Fair play to the cowboys. Not sure how bad the alleged indiscretion was, but they've seemingly left a hole in their roster in the interest of upholding club values.

More info may come to light, but with what's at hand I think they should be commended.

What are those values? Thumbs up for blokes who beat their partners, thumbs down to blokes who do stupid stuff at the Casino?

They only would have punted him because they must know the NRL will be smashing him for whatever he’s done.

This is an absolute ‘gimme’ for Greenberg. If he’s smart enough he’ll take it. Let’s see.

Ironically under Greenberg’s watch this incident might have been described as ‘mental health issues’.

Queenslanders have really disgraced themselves this offseason.

Ben Barba sacked by Cowboys, facing assault allegation

North Queensland have terminated the contract of Ben Barba after allegations he physically assaulted his partner at a Townsville Casino on Australia Day.

NRL.com understands Barba was captured on CCTV footage and also spotted by several witnesses, with Townsville police now investigating the matter.

The Cowboys sacked Barba on Friday night.

Cowboys chairman Laurence Lancini said: "When a player joins the North Queensland Cowboys he agrees to abide by the terms of the contract.

"After an internal investigation, it has been determined that this player has acted in contradiction to both the terms and the spirit of that agreement. Accordingly, the club has terminated his contract and has informed the NRL's Integrity Unit."

Barba was attempting to revive his career in the NRL after a stint in the Super League following his sacking by Cronulla after the 2016 grand final win for a second positive drug test.

The one where you give a bloke a shot to turn his life around, and he instead spits in your face.

So you let him go. Despite his obvious ability.

Given what’s alleged to have occurred I’d be surprised if he doesn’t.

Unless the "stupid stuff" is Barba being a repeat offender in the worst way.

He already played that card at the Bulldogs.

He already played that card at the Bulldogs.

My point exactly.

 

[Wizardman]

Todd let him off once many light years ago at the Bulldogs. You can be assured that he'll be in full Clint Eastwood Sheriff mode this time.

Not by the looks of it. Google the NRL.com chief reporters twitter feed. Not going to put details here as it will get deleted.

 

[Differ To The Coifed]

Nrl players are absolute dead shits.

They seriously cannot conduct themselves like the majority of the community.
