Barba tests positive to cocaine

[Mitch]

The leader of the Epic Bender Crew himself looks likely to cop a 12 week suspension after testing positive to cocaine according to Buzz Rothfield.

Must be true if Buzz writes something disparaging of the Sharks

So no Grand final winner for 2016?

If ever a player was on Coke I am least surprised it was him.

Anyone who tests positive for coke, heroin, meth etc has a problem because the substance disappears from your system after only a couple of days, unlike marijuana which in larger doses can last in your system for weeks. If he tested positive knowing that he would be tested, he's probably got an ongoing problem, he's been hiding.

But he's all been fixed. Toddy coverup told us so.

Don't worry guys, he's off to rehab in Thailand.

The NRL has no choice now, they must withdraw the 2016 Premiership.

Actually given this would be a 2nd serious drug offense I also believe that Toddy should withdraw the 1979 Amco Cup as well

Barba to be an immortal now he has ticked the last box

 

[bob dylan]

His 12 weeks suspension starts today.

He is unable to play the 4 nations and the first of the trial matches.

He should remember he's not playing for the broncos anymore.

He should remember he's not playing for the broncos anymore.

Maybe he's considering a move to The Titans and wanted to fit in.

Hard to believe an NRL player would get on the coke after winning a GF, especially a cleanskin like Barba.

Like the ARL did to Newcastle when it came out that some of the Knights (including the Clive Churchill Medal winner) were taking steroids through 1997?

Oh wait.....it was only certain players who got a slap on the wrist suspension 😵

Barba might get a 12 game suspension, but the reality is that part of it will be served in trial games and the World Club Series and he'll probably be back by about Round 7 or 8 next year.
