Bulldogs fullback Ben Barba stood down indefinitely

[kickback]

He needs to get back to what he knows and that is playing footy that is the best rehab for him. A boy from Mackey does not need to be sitting around Sydney in his house dwelling on his mistakes!

Makes sense

Those private treatment facilities are extraordinary. Congrats to him.

His teammates will be stoked!;-)

More likely he wants his fullback jumper back before the Dogs try to replace him with Dugan.

 

[Ziggy the God]

A whole 16 or so days since the season launch, what a miraculous recovery.

 

[skeepe]

The Dogs have one poor performance and Barba is miraculously better, didn't see that one coming. At all.

six weeks, maybe six months. (or maybe first loss)I for one believed Greenberg when he said it:lol:

 

[Cammo]

Wow, so many doctors here that know exactly what is going on.

 

[GB!]

the truth is out there now.
teams mates aren't happy with him either, won't be long before a disgruntled player spills the beans.

2 weeks is plenty long enough to get what ever the problem was 'out of his system'
Greenberg wanted him gone, de$$ie talked him out of it...

 

[Charlie124]

Come to the cowboys benny, Sydney is no good for you

 

[Galeforce]

Bulldogs play like pups = miracle recovery.
more bulldog spin , like the maddog did not bite in last years final.lol

Makes sense, but hard not to be cynical. Without knowing what really went on its hard to make a judgement, but if a bloke has problems with the punt and booze,lots of free time is a killer.

He will be back in round four and thats fine, you got to remember he didnt break any laws, he just went of the rails.

Barba is a good player but he isn't Andrew Johns or Darren Lockyer.. he isn't the entire team.. If he didn't come back then I am sure Des would work something out.

I am just sick of bullshit atm.

Agree with skeepe for the first time ever.

Wow, so many doctors here that know exactly what is going on.

And plenty of dogs fans with their head in the sand

The Bulldogs weren't even that bad. They had plenty of chances but just didn't convert them.

It could have been a lot worse, Penrith could have flogged us.

While I appreciate everyone's cynicism but when has keeping someone in an institution been good for them? Get back on that bike son.

Someone with a degree of sense. Well said.

Lets keep Barba in the clinic when the doctors said it was best for him to be back training and being around Rugby League.

But of course League Unlimited members know more than the doctors.

 

[Game_Breaker]

So judging by people's reaction on here this is how it went:

Bulldogs lost their first game, the club then wanted Barba back ASAP.... ok

They then demanded the rehab clinic professionals to advise that Barba is now able to start training as this will be good for him, yeah sounds legit.
