Wouldn't it be awkward if he came back to the Bulldogs.
Don't even say that joking lol. Awkward isnt the word. Nightmare is closer. Also a waste of cash he isn't a good player any more

I wouldn't under estimate him he is a natural freak of a player. He just needs confidence.
Everytime I saw Barba with his team mates ,at the broncos ,he looked excluded, pretty sure he was bullied into submission.

Barba walked out on the Bulldogs and now hew wants out of his Broncos contract. All this shows me is that now Barba needs a big label on him that says: "FRAGILE - HANDLE WITH CARE - THIS WAY UP".

There's an old saying that goes "Age is mandatory - maturity is optional. Take the right option". Barba has obviously screwed up big time on this one.

Or his ankle is very "fragile". Proceed with care.

Probably they have had enough of his bullshit excuses, and his drinking and gambling

I don't mind where he goes, what he does or who he plays for. Castle knows there is no benefit in pursuing the matter-however the media will do their best to make a story about the dogs being "bitter" about him being back I Sydney.
We did the right thing by barba in letting him go (even though we knew it was BS) and we are doing the right thing by saying 'he has the right to do what he wants cause he has got nothing to do with us anymore'.

I agree with ya. He's got nothing to do with us, he's not our problem, move on.

Lol I thought his main reason for leaving was to stay with his kids in Queensland ? Or was that just a lie and now he's ****ed and only option is to come back to sydney lol he's a good player n all but would never support him again.

Everybody knows that he didn't leave the club on his own accord. He was forced out by the powers that be because of the split he caused in our playing group. The whole moving to Brisbane to save his relationship with his missus and daughters was all a facade.

I actually think him coming back to Sydney and getting away from Ainsley will lead to him playing better footy. Good luck to him though.

Forcing him to stay in QLD is an ugly court case waiting to happen (and we wouldnt win). You can't restrict trade like that.

I'm squarely in the "meh" camp.

Ancient history and we got his best years anyway.

I dont really give much of a care bout him but one sentence that irked the crap out of me in his sterlo interview was that hed be willing to give up footy and even walk away from our club (at the time) to move to brisbane and stay with his kids. If thats the case then quit footy, find a factory job and stay up there champ!!!

Are Bulldogs fans still obsessed with Barba?

Dogs fans are better than that, surely.

More people in here need to adopt the thoughts of the club and CEO regarding Barba.



Hope he finds a home and gets back some form.

Barba blew his chance at being a legend of the club and the game because of his own greed and selfishness

Our style suited him to a T
