or without him in 2012 we do what we did to the storm in 2014 and win the game by halftime 24-0

the 2014 grand final is not indicative of the 2014 bulldogs team because ennis is missing and mbye was terrible in that game, he didnt know what he was doing and couldnt even find our kicker on the last tackle i think 50% of the time in that game

then south sydney carved us up when mbye got gassed after 57 minutes, in the burgess try he was taking a breather because he couldnt handle it where ennis would have been right up the middle plugging up that hole

then mbye had to go off tired so we were operating without a hooker for 10 minutes, so lets put an * on the bulldogs 2014 grand final loss, im convinced we would win with ennis

all you barba cult members should watch the special 2012 grand final theatre if you have kayo sports, where cooper cronk talks about his strategy for barba lol

they wanted to kick the ball to him and wanted him to carry the ball back because if they had an organised defensive line then they could be physical with him and dominate, thats him basically saying that he is shit when you target him, he just chose a polite way of saying it

and its true, they kicked to him and he fumbled a basic bomb back for a line drop out, he took a bomb 6m out then tried to get fancy and got dragged back in goal then he didnt want to attack the cross field kick and let them score a try

if hasler had the foresight he would have dropped barba before the grand final and put in someone better

rewatch the game, we were in the contest and they won the portion of the game that barba kept giving them field position

if thats not enough in 2013 when barba attacked his girlfriend probably for something silly like not making good enough toast he then decided he wanted more money then faked an injury for sympathy, we were starting to find some form coming into the finals especially in attack, we were scoring an average of 27.4pts in 5 games then the hasler just had to bring back barba and ruined it immediately

losing 11-6 against brisbane with barba gifting them tries and 6-22 against newcastle in the first week of the finals, barba possibly faking another injury in the 2nd half but the damage was done uate catching a bomb and strolling in untouched

brisbane also made the grand final in 2015 after releasing him and were seconds away from winning it

generally teams get better without barba

The brilliant Ben Barba has been named the 2012 Dally M Player of the Year and the Provan-Summons Medal winner in a night that saw the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs claim nine awards before a star-studded crowd at Sydney Town Hall.

Barba’s scintillating form this year also saw him named Fullback of the Year, share the Top Try-Scorer Award and claim the Peter Frilingos Headline Moment of the Year for his role in a freakish length of the field try against Melbourne in Mackay.


He tallied a commanding 32 votes, beating off late-season charges from Cowboys stars Matt Bowen (26) and Johnathan Thurston (24) as well as Melbourne’s Cooper Cronk (25).

Running fifth when voting went ‘silent’ after Round 16, Barba took the lead two rounds later. From Round 18 to Round 23 he captured 14 of a possible 18 points. A single vote in Round 24 made his position unassailable with two rounds to play.

Barba, who was presented with the Dally M Medal by NSW Premier, the Hon Barry O’Farrell, becomes the first player to graduate from the Toyota Cup and win League’s highest individual honour.

YEP BARBA IS SHIT! MMMHMMM

thurston is easily a better player than barba, he just got unlucky that bowen was in the same team and took away points from him

barba made a few flukey runs in 2012 but once teams gameplanned for it then it was over

wayne bennett dumped him after 1 season, brisbane probably paid barba to play for cronulla

Im not a Ben Barba fan but man your hatred for his 2012 season is pathetic. He was brilliant that year and we don’t make a GF if you replace Barba with Perrett at the back what ever you believe.

but we did make a grand final when we replaced barba with perrett at the back, it has been scientifically proven

So you don’t think Barba deserved any accolades in 2012 and if replaced by Perrett then we would have made the GF in 2012?

he deserves accolades for not being shit and not getting the coach fired like he did in 2011 but he doesnt deserve all or most of the accolades

ennis, pritchard, morris and graham deserve more credit, maybe you would like to explain to me why they couldnt make the 2012 GF when they made 2014?

people act like the 2012 attack was something revolutionary but the defense won all those games and won through to the GF, they conceded less than 15pts per game

Barba is a fuckwit, there is no denying that but to not acknowledge his achievements in 2012 is short sighted.

Mansour to the dogs

Honestly this has to be one of the dumbest rumors going around!!! If the Anderson's and Pay were calling the shots, I'd be more inclined to believe it....but surely not now with the change of regime and the direction we seem to have taken. Mansour does not exactly fit our youth policy and with Remis still contracted along with Dallin Watene-Zelezniak there is no place for him IMO. There seems to be more of a chance that he will either end up as a toothless tiger or a slimey eel.
