Hasler feels sympathy for Barba

Ben Barba's future remains clouded in mystery and speculation

Canterbury coach Des Hasler says he sympathises with Ben Barba's desire to leave the Bulldogs and return to Queensland for family reasons.

The reigning Dally M Medallist is keen to head back north of the Tweed, with both Brisbane and Gold Coast keen to sign the dynamic fullback.

Barba's former partner and two children are moving back to Mackay, and he has requested a release from his contract which still has two years to run.

The 24-year-old has been heavily criticised by many Bulldogs supporters via Twitter for his actions and, although Hasler is desperate for his star player to remain at the club, he knows he's fighting a losing battle.

"I don't know anything about Twitter, but is it a fair cross-section (of opinion)? Probably not," Hasler told Sky Sports Radio.

"The situation for Ben is a personal one. The situation for Ben is a concerning one and the situation for Ben involves real people in his life that he holds important."

"You have to feel sympathetic."

The article now says that she is moving to Mackay? I've seen reports saying that his ex is moving to Brisbane?

lol moving to mackay, make up ya mind press.

Gutless trolls on Twitter are a disgrace

Interesting Mackay? If that's the case then in today's travelling world there is no difference whatsoever between Sydney/Brisbane and Mackay!

I think Hasler sympathizes for the hole he's dug and the innocent people he has hurt but probably not on how he has handled it and lack of character that he has shown especially shitting on Hasler himself!

 

[blueyedsamurai]

So really his only option is to play for the cows as playing for the broncos or goldcoast would mean he would have to jump on a plane to see them, it would only take an hour less then flying from Sydney.

 

[billybob]

Exactly if she moves to mackay than it renders his whole excuse invalid.

 

[Qld-Dog]

1600K's to Mackay from Brisbane, I smell BS again!!!

 

[piggy]

Hasler feels sympathy for Barba? Does he feel any sympathy for the fans? Seriously Hasler needs to read between the lines and toughen up. How can you have sympathy for a selfish, lying, arrogant prik!

 

[jimmy_the_greek]

I feel sorry for him to (but not in a good way).

seems like some Broncos fans are parading all over social media...will seriously laugh if he joins the Cowboys or Titans.

Dessie must have the patience of a saint

 

[pisssst]

Hasler would only be saying this to try and keep the peace with bulldogs fans after all the twitter abuse ben has got. he knows that the reaction he gives on this situation can calm bulldogs fans down. if he came out and lost his shit about barba that would just makes the fans attack him more and bring more heat on the club and team. and at this time of the year with us in 5th place that would be the last thing he would want

There's two way to have sympathy remember, one is positive and the other is negative. The article does not say which way he means it..........I think its in the negative!

 

[DoggyStylz]

The article is a ploy.... making the dogs (as a whole) look like we care for the welfare of benny Barberous

Looking forward to round 26 when we finish the broncos season

Takes 90min to fly from syd to bris .

Wtf is goin on ?

 

[Indiandog]

I might have to repeat myself again.

Has anyone really asked where Ainslie wants to go/ is going??? Isnt she the reason Barba is moving to Qld, because she is taking the kids with her ?????

It is pretty obvious she is willing to go wherever Barba goes and if this is the case all this issue is a load of crap.

 

[habs]

I'm over it just want a comp win soon

 

[TrickmA]

So Brisbane aren't keen to pay a million anymore and all of a sudden Ainslie wants to move to Mackay hahah...

 

[Papa Emeritus]

Can't wait until he is gone and we can wash our hands of this idiot.
