Ben Barba eyeing NRL Return

[Cultured_Bogan]

I'm by no means a social justice warrior but with the talk of Paker, Fergusun and now Barba i find myself struggling to find any benefits of having convicted scumbags near the club. I'd love to watch Wests win more games but at the end of the day it's a game and these blokes have all done some pretty horrendous stuff.

It may be hypocritical but I'd be ok if it was recreational drug usage or using being caught "bubbling" its just the DV or over the top beating paker gave that bloke i find hard to look past. To be honest I'd rather support a loosing team that I can support every player than a wining team that makes me feel dirty every time I watch.

I think we are long odds of securing them anyways so it wont be a worry

I think u maybe should be going to church every weekend rather than watching football, I don't condom what some have done but if there allowed to play we may as well have them with us rather than against us. for years we have been MR NICE GUY, BUT WHERE HAS THAT GOT US. NO WHERE.

Trojan?

Nah he's probably an Ansell man.

 

[Harvey]

Has 2 strikes, 3rd gets him banned for life. You would not want to consider him a lock if for the long term

 

[hodgo]

wow to the people saying he isnt that great.

the dude would easily start in probably every side in the comp.

if we can get him we should instantly makes our back line better

Like I said, there's a lot I can look past. Carney can piss in his own mouth while doing lines off procters back and ill support him if he can get me 2 points every weekend.

Can't get behind women beaters. The fact you can probably says more about you.

Of course he would add to our team on the park, that is undeniable. Probably more undeniable is the fact that he's a scabby person, the wife-beating being the worst of it without doubt. Seems to be a real smart-alec with no remorse about things he's done.
Anyone with a tattoo saying Epic Bender Crew is a definite no-no also. That is embarrassing to be associated with.

The tigers said he's not a target to the media this afternoon. No link it's not published yet.

 

[nrlcountrytiger]

Yep sign him up but I'd rather Hayne IMO

wonder if its a smoke screen

maybe keeping away from unwanted attention
Will be a handy pickup though

You know the reason he left the bulldogs was because he got caught with a teammates wife. And player power pushed him out. You can add that to his list.

Ben Barba brings so much speed with the right education he can be a good pick up next to Reynolds

 

[hsvjones]

Sharks, Dogs and Tigers have already said they are not interested in him.. Good move because we don't want someone with his attitude here. I remember him blaming the NRL for not supporting him and thats a joke in itself. They bent over backwards for him and he just put the game down..
On your bike…

 

[WT2K]

Not coming - will be joining a super league club next week

 

[Onthebus]

Great news, we aren't chasing him, only his dealers are

Yet we hear all the time it doesn't matter how great of a person Lawrence is, he's useless. Hypoocracy.

Make a good fullback replacement , last chance in NRL , Ya I would grab him if cheap

 

[cqtiger]

Well he'll be sitting on his bum for half the first season wherever he goes. Here or super league - still has a 12 match suspension to serve

 

[andrew 474]

12 matches this year start fresh next year or if we make the 8

 

[kingbrooks]

Barba is a good fullback on the end of a good forward pack and good halves etc.

Would not suit our style. We need a strong ball runnign fullback etc.
