Any less than a 2 year ban is a farce... Precedent has been set years ago... No bs rehab clinic this time...

 

[HoldenV8]

There must be a rehab centre in Thailand that has its own NRL wing.

 

[Frogz]

Suppose he is straight out and frees up salary cap now, if suspended he is still on the books.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Yep just read the official statement on Twitter he's gooooorrrrrne!!

.....

Barba had been facing an automatic 12-month ban from the NRL for a second breach of the game’s illicit substance policy, with the previous breach understood to have occurred within the last 12 months.....

So....Cronulla releases barba from his remaining 12 month contract before he faces a....12 month


😵😵

Funny how this allows Holmes to move to fullback so he will be happy and re-sign.

 

[HoldenV8]

And the NRL are dithering over whether to register Todd Carney.....

Carney was like a sports drink. He was putting in what had come out. Barba was just putting in 😛

... or 'centre'?

 

[HoldenV8]

... or 'centre'?

The NRL is proping up the place

 

[madmax]

Makes you wonder what really went on with ASADA & the Sharks!! Now I understand what they mean by a 'white pointer shark'............lolol

 

[maxta]

Barba is 1 season ON - 3 seasons OFF, so doubt would be back to form in 2017 anyways....

Not if he cops a 12 match ban. That is half a season gone.

They have now updated that article to say 12 match ban.

 

[davohan123]

As someone has said elsewhere

Up up Cronulla
Up up up the nose!!

Don't feel sorry for Ben because he has had his chances and if this was one of our players who had just done this the media would be destroying us.

Ah...thanks. Well we're 19 hours behind over here so that's my excuse!

And you know that if this was one of our players Todd Greenturd and his friends would make sure that we would have to count a player under the same circumstances in our cap.
