If this story is true and we really did push Barba up North, don't think I want to renew my membership in 2014, I know a persons well being is the only thing to think about BUT shouldn't that be up to the individual?
We can say what we want about Barba but if he was pushed, I'm not a happy fan, he should have been given the chance to make things right on his own
Sorry bro, you're wrong in this case.
A cancer like him needs to be excised ASAP. Rugby league is a combative, contact sport, you effectively go into battle every game. You're troops need to be relied upon and this kid is just too unreliable !
The club sees him as an ass too.
Ill let youse in on a conversation I was privy to last week, I bumped into my mother at the shops, talking to an ex doggie (one of the greats, those of you who know where I'm from might be able to deduce) he was saying that, he asked des for a couple of players to help out on presentation night for the club he runs, des said "sure thing, who would you like ?" He responded "since barbas injured and all the kids love him, he'd be great" then des said to him " I wouldn't infict that upon you, mate."
Sounds like he's lost the respect of more than just the players ?
