Ben Barba signed with Sharks

[Wolfmother]

He got a big head in 2012 and it went downhill from there. ..

I remember watching the team train on fan day 2012 ( just before the GF) Ben was the only one 'not' training and the only one who didn't have the courtesy to come and acknowledge his fans before leaving the field. He just ran by whilst the others lined up and shook our hands..
I also remember Kas going above and beyond signing shirts and ignoring the security guard that was trying to get him inside ..haha

 

[c-b-b]

I'd like to see our club be tough on something for once. We released him to play for the Broncos because he was "homesick".

Technically he is still under his contract term with us - we didn't release him to play with Cronulla via the Broncos and I'd be telling the NRL that if I was the club.

Force him to stay in Brisbane and play Qld club if Bennett doesn't have any plans for him.

Yes, I was at Belmore that day too and I concur with your comments.

The one word in your post that certainly rings true in relation to the past year; 'ordinary'

 

[Rodzilla]

ordinary is a compliment

 

[GrogDog]

If we have skeletons in the closet in regards to Barba leaving us than maybe it's better off letting the issue be rather than risk it coming back to haunt us and that rat affecting our club yet again, he isn't worth it.

 

[sgodllubsti]

the team made the grand final in 2012 with barba in the team, 2013 was the year from hell with so much going on behind closed doors, most of it barba related or barba caused and then he was gone with the blessing of everyone in the club, 2014 the team made the grand final without barba, so it was proven that the club and the team dont need barba.

who gives a crap about barba its been 3 years since he was any good, and a move to cronulla is hardly going to set his career alight again is it

 

[Bulldog Bruce]

If this is true it will be pathetic, and I will be filthy because it shows that he is a liar and disloyal, something we don't need in our club but still lokingfor that x factor cause even though we made the gf we never looked a threat without a genuine fullback with ball playng skills.

we would have won the 2014 grand final with normal levels of luck

Making the GF without him was something special.

 

[Ahecee]

Don't care where he goes as long as it isn't here, players can leave, but very, very few should be let back.

Considering the club stood by him when he was down, and he walked out the door 2 seconds later, I think that door is now closed.

Ben Barba has stated that he has no idea from where the rumours come. "Roumoring" seems to be prolific, and I just don't get it. Why would you believe a rumour like this? It doesn't make sense and id totally irrelavent to any Bulldogs discussion.

Dickhead wanted out cause he was homesick?? (More money)
Now coming back to sydney.

Wtf!

 

[Rodzilla]

ok sometimes i go crazy with the conspiracy theories but who else thinks this was a master plan from the beginning to ultimately get to the sharks, who everyone wants to play for

the only way to be able to go to cronulla would be to make up a phony excuse to get him out of the city and to a new team, and then play very badly to get out of his new team and to his real wish at cronulla

this has been a 2 year trick/plan from the barba

Yes I was there to ! People were talking amongst themselves saying what a prick he is. Poor kids were waiting for him

 

[Trendsetter]

Would love to see a banner next year that reads "thought you were homesick?"... or.... "f*ck you ****". Either one would suffice

Yes ,as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz said as she closed her eyes and clicked her heels together three times " There's no place like home"

Maybe its harder to "live the life he had before" in Qld
