He was not a regular for us at one of our worst periods ever, at our weakest. Half this forum was demanding he be included in first grade but he was lucky to get in a few times here and there.
If the publicity was his trigger, he would not have done all this.
We hold different opinions on...
You're doing the same thing, just holding a different point of view.
He is a grown man, about to be 23, who has lodged a claim against the club that so many people here have a genuine love for. Of course they are going to defend their club. Most people arent upset, they actually find it...
My missus who is a lawyer that used to deal with workplace incidents said the same thing. Its like they've taken a uni graduate and asked them to pull out claims out of a textbook.
The settlement will be less than 1m. It will probably be one years salary.
Agree on this. I havent seen a player with more natural ability than Barba. It wasnt just the highlight plays, it was just his ability to always be in the exact right place at the time.
Shame how it turned out.
He is a great talent, I think we could see him in the 14 jersey for a couple of weeks, similar to what Storm did a few years ago with Papenhuyzen. Just get him up to speed with first grade footy.
We are very confident but we need to come out like we do against the top teams. If we can maintain that level against weaker sides (like we did against Titans) then there is no reason why we cant beat Knights and then Tigers after the bye.
According to the DT, the Panthers are after Stefano Utoikamanu. He has a clause in his contract that lets him leave if Tigers fail to make the 8 this year.
But he has been getting injured a fair amount this past few years. He has very suspect defence as well.
If you want to compete for a title, you can’t have Fox on that type of money.
