The media of course told us all that Barba was moving to Brisbane for "personal reasons". The real reason was kept secret, but is well known to Bulldog supporters.
It's an understatement to say that Barba was a disruptive influence at the Bulldogs. He is a prodigious talent, but without character, talent is limited, particularly at the top level.
Several Bulldogs players were very happy to see the back of Barba. No, not family reasons, but probably more about survival. Of course Bennett would have known the truth behind Barba moving on from the Bulldogs, and knows that such behaviour is poison in a team environment.
Rugby league has become a strange game. When someone like Dugan gets sacked for posting a selfie, and then was rejected by the Broncos, but they accepted someone with Barba's record (yes, I know you are most likely curious as to what Barba did at the Bulldogs, but you'll just have to find out yourself).
Many Broncos fans were curious as to the signing of Eden several months ago, even before the departure of Hoffman. Well, I'd say the club was getting rid to offload him quite a long time ago.
