You guys are worrying too much. Greenberg said the club had the option to sack him but that it wouldn't help Barba doing so.

Just think about that and remain positive!
That wouldnt help the Bulldogs , thats why he didnt get sacked.

If he was sacked the Cowboys would snap him up to replace JT or the Roosters would sign him to replace Minichello

I agree with you Mr Invinceble..
mthiugh what has me slightly concerned is his profile being removed from the website..
is this a standard procedure when a player has been stood down??

barba is guilty of something serious and greenberg wont say what it is

thats giving everybody an open invitation to speculate

it could lead to the facts coming out and then the club looking worse off for attempting the cover up

They seem to be giving out two messages. Greenberg is stressing the “he is ill” and “we need to think about him and his personal life before footy” angle. But then there seems to be hints that he has done something drastic and the club is preparing for damage control. You would think that it would be a token of good will and a gesture of club support to keep Barba’s player profile and imagery on the website whilst he was away trying to sort his life out.

im not to sure anymore this is just a minor issue regarding behavior and the clubs policies, the club has acted very very quickly by getting a media conference going, getting it out there that he has personal problems, saying it is not a police matter doesnt make me feel any better.

if this is the clubs way of dealing with a players personal problems what would they do for something more serious

Seems a little extreme if barba is just going off the rails a bit getting on the piss and partying and having run ins with ex ,there has to be more to this otherwise its a bit extreme if you ask me .you watch weidler try to find bennys ex to get an interview to uncover more crap .in todds press conferance he kept taking about her ,hope shes on side with the club or therell be a weidler exclusive

AGREE 1000%, I can't believe even our own so-called fans are even adding fuel to the fire of assumptions, WTF?..Poor form from this forum IMO.
Maybe Barbs has been racking up coke with Fitler and friends and now with this ASADA crap they want to hide him until all substances are out of his system?

Or maybe Barba is pregnant and they are sending him off to a cathlic boarding home until he has the baby and they make him give it up for adaption.

Second theory sounds more likely to me.

How long till SBW, Nasser and politis start telling him the club has done the dirty on him, politis would be watching this very closely, wouldn't mind betting there has already been contact made, gus would be sniffing round like a horny fox terrier

btw barba was going to be on a midweek fox sports show as a co host, i saw the ad this morning with anasta and barrett

this along with the face of the game stuff and default qld selection makes it a huge stuff up worse than taumata
