It seems obvious the Bulldog PR machine is a lot slicker than the Manly one. But anyone who has followed the very public boardroom bickering at Brookvale would already know that.

Todd has probably put a muzzle on Des.
Lord Eagleton said:If our Brett Stewart was photographed getting a tattoo of 'ECB' on his navel, thus declaring his love for getting off-head, there would be a public hanging at dawn. None of this "oooh gee we hope Ben's ok", and "its great he has the guts to ask for help". Please
Pride said:The case for Barba isnt domestic violence or gambling or alcohol and Greenburg is quite clever selling it as gambling and alcohol issues. A little like a half who used to play for the Broncos who had similar issues
Moondog said:Let me just say I'm not taking any satisfaction in this shocking turn of events. Sad to see a proud club like the Bulldogs imploding before the season even starts..... no seriously......
Lord Eagleton said:^^^ Thats right.
All you Fairfax and News journos reading this thread go and do a decent article about the REAL Ben Barba story - that the guy is a straight up tool, who values losing his inhibitions and looking like a degenerate loser, over being a good role model to thousands of kids (his own included).
