Bulldogs fullback Ben Barba stood down indefinitely

[Garts]

EBC, haha. Just read the DT article on this. What a bunch of dickheads. Especially to get that tattooed on you. How embarrassing for all the EBC's parents. In saying that, if this is the extent of his issues he will be back. I used to go out on benders in my earlier 20's, I just didn't join a gang and get a tat to do so. Hope that's all it is.

No, Ben did not hit me - Barba's ex-partner Ainslie Currie denies ugly assault rumour

THE estranged partner of troubled league superstar Ben Barba last night angrily denied rumours about their relationship, declaring that Barba had not assaulted her.

Ainslie Currie, whose break-up with the Dally M champ late last year helped trigger Barba's escalating problems involving alcohol, gambling and anger, emphatically denied that he had physically hurt her.

"I heard rumours floating around about my personal life and I have had family and friends ring to see if I am OK," she told The Daily Telegraph.

"For the record, I am okay.

"I am healthy but I am dealing with an enormous situation regarding my break-up, which is being played out in a public forum.

"Ben has asked for privacy from the Bulldogs and the media and I guess it's my turn to let people know that I am fine.

"I am not physically hurt but dealing with a very personal situation that involves my children and myself."

Asked directly whether Barba had physically assaulted her, Ms Currie said: "No."

Ms Currie said she felt it was important to "set the record straight" on the question of whether Barba had physically hurt her after allegations proliferated on social media outlets.

She had been inundated with calls from concerned friends and family about the matter but wanted to make a public statement to "stop the rumours".

Her mission now was to protect the children she has with Barba - Bodhi and Bronte.

Very good to see the ex partner come out and defend him.

9 are scum.

Over this whole Barba thing already, especially the 'poor Barba needs help crap', turns out his just another spoilt, overpaid twat.

Can't help but think there's plenty of self interest in Greenburg's actions as well, the 'super administrator' thinking future job prospects. He's painted himself into a corner here. What his done for Barba the Daly M superstar, he now has to do for the no name reserve grader too.

The reality is that sometimes there a footy players who are simply genuine dickheads beyond help. Now, according to the philosophy of Greenberg, the are all 'sick' and need our help. BULLSHIT!

Did anyone see first hand these claims made by Lewis on channel 9 ? Or his everything mentioned coming from what someone aid on twitter ?

Interesting story in the Townsville Bulletin today regarding an incident with Josh Hannay and Barba and his mates. Makes me think back to that 'hacked' twitter post by Tamou on the weekend when they were in Mackay playing the trial game

I could imagine Royce on the drink. Apparently he's a bit of a wanker these days. A mate of mine lived across the road from him when he was Penrith's coach. If you didn't know he was Penrith's coach, he'd let you know.

Haha yeah I've heard many stories about MG at Penny Leagues when he was younger. Apparently he'd be going the knuckle every week there.

The way Dad described MG was 'he was hard and crazy as f**k and he loved to show it off' lol.

So what's the chosen illness for being a f**kwit who can't handle his drink?

Bi-polar? Depression? The clap?
