The real reason Ben Barba is heading north

[Cletus]

Yeah I understand that. But Mascord went off his tits last night on MMM braodcast calling for his head too.

Either Steve knows more than us or he's gone full genius as well.

I didn't hear what Mascord said but it's a big issue for Greenberg. If he didn't tell the nrl about it or lied to them how can he not at least think about resigning. Of course the Tele knows that and would be loving this shit. Just imagine what happens next time a club lies to the nrl and Todd gets the shits. "Yeah but you!!"

 

[magpie4ever]

the DT claim it was not leaked to them

I won't go back and read that piece of crap again, but didn't the story quote an unnamed source/s from Canterbury providing additional information about the night of the alleged incident and the following day?

this is what they said today

It has been incorrectly reported the club leaked the information to The Sunday Telegraph after Barba decided to seek a release from the final two years of his contract. The Sunday Telegraph broke the story after a six-week investigation, which began after the newspaper learned of the existence of the photo.

^ but wasn't it reported in a newsltd paper that their info came from the dogs?

" we'll report our sources as being bulldog officials but will then say they didn't tell us when the shit hits the fan"

@canard, the pic is "evidence" but no one's confirmed its ainslie or how it was done. We're still assuming the pic relates to the alleged text messages. There was a pic of what te'o was alleged to have done but the cops on 2 occasions didn't think it was evidence related to the investigation

Agreed, but you would expect that via Lawyers if this WASN'T a picture of the alleged person it would have been said by now.

 

[SharkShocked]

and how did they learn about the photo?

Guess it wasn't leaked??

 

[dogslife]

I wonder how tight Ainslee and her friend still are

 

[Miller was a legend]

Bronco's confuse me.

Decided to withdraw offer to Dugan because he tweeted abuse.

Take on Barba, this comes out and they say they will stand by him.

Not that anything is proven, but FMD bunch of wankers

 

[Spot On]

Would it be fair to say that if this is a fabrication and untrue Barba and Currie will make a motza when they sue for defamation?

....and on the other hand .....

If it is true, Barba needs to address it and take the heat off Currie. Be a man and face the music. If in fact it is Currie in the picture, which apparently she took herself, the question must be asked why she made sure she took a record of the incident and then for some reason made sure she forwarded it to others???

I'm female and I find it disgusting that this situation is being played out in the media. I have been the victim of verbal & emotional abuse and I can tell you having all this dragged through the media is probably doing more harm than good. It is already difficult enough to get victims of domestic violence to come forward without them seeing someone being harassed by the media. Rightly or wrongly, if these allegations are true the alleged victim has chosen to deal with them in her own way, hopefully without coercion and all you can do in thy situation is offer support. Sometimes it takes a great deal of courage to simply pack up and leave. There is no justification for a newspaper to publish private txts. If the Telecrap was really concerned they should have taken any evidence they had to the NRL instead of publishing it in a newspaper. But what do you expect from an organisation that thinks its in the public interest to hack the phone of a 13 yr old.

Even if the Bulldog's had reported this to the NRL I can bet you that the Telecrap would now be going on about an NRL coverup. All they care about is having a nice little scandal to help sell newspapers. They are doing nothing but harm towards the alleged victim.

And if true only one man can take the heat off her and clear this up. Face the music and have everyone move on.

What are we supposed to do? the deals already been done.

Sack him if its true.

Your current fullback wont mind

 

[some11]

Sure, the Cowboys can have him - are they supposed to sack him too?

Why didn't you continue with the Dugan offer?

 

[Frank_Grimes]

Sack him if its true.

So why are Brisbane wankers if they haven't sacked him despite the allegations being only allegations at this point?

I'm sure Sharks fans were all petitioning for Cronulla to sack Bird while he was under charges right?

 

[some11]

Why didn't you continue with the Dugan offer?

He never put pen to paper, we're only just finding out about this after Barba signed.

 

[Miller was a legend]

I said, if true!

What then?

 

[some11]

You answered your own question

they say they will stand by him.

 

[dogslife]

I love the media's priorities on this story. Gun after Greenberg for allegedly covering it up, not Barba for allegedly beating up his missus

 

[Miller was a legend]

Hypocritical wankers.

Don't want Dugan because he is considered trouble. Stand by a bloke if allegation of assault is true.

Okay. Thoughts confirmed
