Ben Barba suspended indefinitely

  • We had an issue with background services between march 10th and 15th or there about. This meant the payment services were not linking to automatic upgrades.

Would expect a 4 week suspension to be handed down from the league any moment now. He is definitely guilty of all crimes.
( let me know what he did asap, so my statement doesn't look out of place)

DALLY M champion Ben Barba has been suspended by the Bulldogs.

The club today posted a statement on its website revealing behaviour issues were behind the decision.

The statement read:

The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have today confirmed that Ben Barba will be suspended indefinitely from all contractual duties until further notice.

The Club has also advised the National Rugby League today that Ben will not participate in the NRL’s season launch on Wednesday night where he was due to officially open the 2013 season.

The decision to suspend Ben indefinitely comes after the Club was informed of a number of behavioural issues.

“Whilst we all know the undoubted on-field attributes and abilities that Ben displays, we must always maintain our focus on the more important issues of personal development and accountability,” Chief Executive Officer Todd Greenberg said.

“It is our hope that the media and the many rugby league fans understand and respect the need for privacy in order for Ben and his family to make the relevant adjustments that are required for him to return to the playing field.”

Please find below a statement from Ben Barba in relation to his indefinite suspension from all duties with the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs:

“Today is a very difficult day for me as I feel I’ve let my family, children, Club and supporters down.

“My issues relate to seeking help for personal issues that I face day to day.

“I’m incredibly sad to be stepping aside as I’ve been so blessed with what’s happened to me over the past few years, but I feel as though I would be wearing a mask if I didn’t confront the matters I’ve been dealing with until now.

“I feel it is best to deal with these problems front on and I believe that by doing so this will make me a better person and player in the future.

“This will be a step by step process for me and whilst I hope to return to football soon, I hope that through this next period you can respect my privacy so that sooner rather than later I can return to playing rugby league as best I can.

“When I do, I hope that everybody sees a better person.”

Must be in big strife.

He is just about the biggest star in the game these days.

Watch Rothtool and Ritchie try and keep a lid on it. Hey, phil and dean how much privacy did you give Brett?
 
Yes Isz but bet they haven't!!

The media will be all over this, even Slothfield and Co will not be able to protect him.
 
He recently split with his long term partner/mother of his children as well.

Behavioural issues is a cryptic description. Be interesting to see what comes of it.

Big loss for the Dogs though, especially if he is out for any length of time. Not that I'm losing sleep over that of course.
 
lets not kick the lad while he is down and be patient enough for it all to come out before we judge.
 
Im waiting to hear that Billy Slater has been suspended or banned for some type of serious transgression & Martina has withdrawn from giving him tongies each morning when he wakes.
 
lets not kick the lad while he is down and be patient enough for it all to come out before we judge.
