If another club picks him up I will feel very bad for the Cowboys. They've done the right thing here and the NRL needs to back them up, otherwise in the future NRL clubs will be wary of doing this is another will just benefit by getting the scraps

I doubt Barba will play in the NRL again and if he does never ever in the red and white please.

I’d say with confidence that your phrase “when will she learn her lesson” has been deemed offensive (and quite rightly so) by the admin of this forum.

No one, irrespective of provocation, should ever be assaulted. Gender is irrelevant here.

I didn't see the post but I'm hoping he meant by 'when will she learn her lesson' that she should walk away from Barba before he hurts her again and quite probably should have done it before.

Just another case of an elite player proving they are dickheads. He should be banned for life. That ban should be local and SL.

Why should the woman concerned ever feel the need to walk away at all? Such a situation is unacceptable no matter you paint it. If the allegations are correct, it’s Barba who should’ve learnt from previous mistakes.

She shouldn't have to but if someone keeps beating you up, you walk. He definitely should have learnt. We are saying the same thing. Wake up and keep up!

This happens to be a common problem in certain communities and so until something is done about it, this will continue to be the case.
