Ben Barba and Colombian Marching Powder

[betcats]

That's all nice
But they didn't say they'd hold off until he returns
That ( the French deal ) only came about because he was told he couldn't train with an NRL club and they'd never given him answer about being registered.

And the wheel keeps spinning! Lol.

You are seriously a dead shit....

Every player signs a legally binding contract that has clauses in it around recreational drugs. If they fail an "out of competition test" (one that isn't on game day) they get a suspension....(4 weeks for the first failed test, 12 weeks for the second failed test and 1 year for the third failed test).

Barba knew this and also knew he had already failed 1 test previously. Did he really think that in the weeks after they won the comp then he and all his teammates wouldn't be tested?

He and the Sharks come up with a plan for his contract to be ripped up while he goes to rehab with the intention of signing him on a reduced deal prior to this season. The NRL then follows proper process in reviewing the contract (note they still haven't approved Foran who has been waiting at least 3 months), and Barba cracks the shits about how long it is taking and decides he will go to France for 6 months to earn some money.

The NRL have every right to say that we will hold off on registering the contract until you return, which in turn means the suspension doesn't start until the contract is registered.

Now you bring up the Terepo case as some sort of inconsistency??? He has a registered contract already so all that can be done is give him a punishment to fit the crime which is what Parramatta did (15k fine and 3 NRL match suspension).

I hope Barba sorts his life out while he is away for his kids sake because they are the ones that are continually being punished by his f**king stupidity.

I brought up Foran before too. But the match-fixing investigation is still ongoing so that could be the reason for waiting and seeing with him.

Maybe they need to check Barba's contract for loopholes, but it can't take this long. They can't really say they have a problem with him being on the books. He would've still been contracted if Sharks and Barba didn't act first.

They rushed through Hayne's pretty quickly.

Anyway suddenly Greenburg calls Barba once he gets wind of him going?

As soon as it was mentioned that he was going to Toulon they said they would hold off on registering his contract until he returned.

This all comes back to him being a dickhead and not having the money to support his family while the contract was being reviewed. I have no doubt that at some point before round 1 his contract would have been registered. All he needed to do was wait another 4 weeks or so and his contract would have been registered and he would have received some sort of payment from the sharks.

How's life down the f**king bottom of the ladder?

It sure is as sweet as hell seeing us as champions while you f**king arseholes are a complete rabble on and off the field and down near the bomb shelter.

LOL... Now you've just proven how much of a dickhead you are.

A bit of advice for you.... quit whilst you are behind and stop embarrassing yourself.

 

[myrrh ken]

Its the broncos fault for not fully rehabilitating Barba.

We are left with the mess.

EDIT if only they had won in 2015 and taught Barba how to celebrate quietly like many of the wowsers here would no doubt do.

 

[SharkShocked]

This thread is on fire today, troll level through the roof. So far we've learned that RU isn't a rival code of RL. Carcharias doesn't mean what he says no matter how often he says it and sharkshocked cannot connect the dots.

And you pick more cherries than the average farmer.

Don't let these sharks trolls drag you into this again, its all been said before. Barba and his management obviously thought the contract would be registered as well hence the four month contract he initially signed. Everything else after that is just sharks bullshit designed to deflect blame. Like when Fifita tried to attack the ref, that was the refs fault! and when he supported the one punch dog, that was anyone but Fifitas fault! a certain few sharks fans always do this. Now RU isn't a competitor of the NRL and the NRL is stupid for not letting Barba play out his suspension in france and its their fault he tried to do it! In a few days they will be claiming the NRL sold him the coke too!

Him bring a dickhead has been established in this argument.
We all agree on that.

However
As soon as Toulon got mentioned as a stopgap Greenberg shit and called him up to say he could suddenly train again.
But..they still didn't give any response to his contract registration.

So he walked.

That's because I'm above average in everything I do.

Someone with Josh Dugan on your books shouldn't be so self righteous.

I must be really upsetting you
You keeping mentioning me in your posts.

Ever seen a game French rugby?
Me either.
I couldn't name one player that isn't an Aussie.

Mate no one gives a shit what you have seen or haven't seen, it has zero f**king relevance to whether or not rugby union is a competitor of rugby league or not. Its a completely idiotic and self centred argument.

I'm not at all on your side betcats. And this is not the argument we were speaking about earlier as clearly displayed previously, it was about the suspension.

But you are correct to pull Carch up on whether or not Rugby union as an overall code is a competitor to League, it clearly is.

Whether or not that 'competition' is really fierce or not and therefore relevant in this country, state, city, neighbourhood, which is carch's mentality, i couldn't give a f**k about, you can both keep chattering away like parrots.

.

I know you don't think that but go back and read Carchy and Myrrkhen comments, they are both struggling to understand why he cant play rugby and serve his NRL suspension at the same time and arguing that he should be allowed too. Carchy even argued that French RU isn't a competitor of the NRL ffs.

You're an idiot because I said so. Why would Carchy be here bagging the NRL for not letting him serve his suspension playing for Toulon and even arguing that French rugby union isn't a competitor of the NRLs if he didn't think Barba should be allowed to go? Myyrkhen has literally been questioning why he cant do exactly that for days and bagging the NRL for it. But yeah they don't actually think that, they are just saying it over and over because they like looking stupid as f**k.

You cherry pick worse than me lol you muppet.

Ha
You wouldn't know a rival code from your elbow.

The swans went to my kids school last year.
Gave the kids mini footballs and free tix.
Plus held a bit of a training session.

Sydney FC also came out and did similar.

French rugby didn't come.

I think you'll see I commented right at the start that Australian rugby is a rival code .

French rugby on te other hand is hardly the mob to bring it all crashing down.

 

[SharkShocked]

Again with the insults.

Mate you've got the 20/20 vision of Hellen Keller.

How about quoting interactions between yourself and myself.


"Carchy even argued that French RU isn't a competitor of the NRL ffs."

That's what we call an addition, a post script to the original context.

Yep i was trying to highlight to the blind one here where your thoughts lie.

The injured player has a registered contract with the NRL. Benny doesn't have a registered contract while he's relaxing on the wing in France.

Quite different.

Forget another code issue for a moment

Why would a club sign him if he was not able to play for half a season

Unless you sign.jim.for half a contract

Sharks however cant sack and then resign for half price
