He’s been sacked!

Today, North Queensland Cowboys terminated the playing contract of Ben Barba due to a significant breach of the terms of his contract.

Chairman Laurence Lancini stated: “When a player joins the North Queensland Cowboys he agrees to abide by the terms of the contract. After an internal investigation, it has been determined that this player has acted in contradiction to both the terms and the spirit of that agreement. Accordingly, the club has terminated his contract and has informed the NRL’s Integrity Unit.”

How significant was his breach. If Elliott got in trouble for dry humping an Agave plant, then surely Barba must've got stuck into a Cactus or a rose bush to be sacked.

Apparently he’s up to old tricks again and he didn’t have Todd to cover it up this time...
