All caught on CCTV. I'm sure Greenberg will give him a character reference.

Casino's have cameras everywhere so when the footage comes out it will end his career. Hopefully other thugs with court cases pending will be punted for good aswell if guilty.
 
I am absolutely stunned that Ben Barba has been accused of domestic violence. There were unfounded rumours that he had done something similar at the dogs while Greenberg was in charge, but after he thoroughly investigated, Barba was cleared.

I am sure that he has never done anything similar previously, and that Greenberg was not involved in a coverup. I have faith because the NRL investigated Greenberg & he was cleared.

What a joke this games administration is.
 
Apparently was pulling the old “do you know who I am” garbage with the casino security. On one hand you get guys like Packer who really did learn their lesson, then you have absolute morons like this guy. The amount of money these fools throw away boggles my mind. Idiot.
 
I thought he wasn't on the best contract with the Cows.

1 Year. Looking at their signings, it is a good but not great amount. I would suspect 700K.
2 It was only 1 year.

I am glad the Cows did the right thing here. Signed Barba on a very short term contract. He acts up and is OUT the door.

Easts notoriously sign trouble makers on long, low paying contracts. We see this with a lot of teams.

The good bit about this is Te-Marie Martin will get a good shot at 5/8\. Great guy to watch and a good ex tiger.
 
Next!

Ive said it before and Ill say it again. For every so called superstar that falls, there are a thousand park footballers working hard and desperate for a crack at the big time.

Dont give these people any airtime whatsoever. Next!
 
I just saw this Harvey and i made similar comments a short while ago.I agree with you totally and hope it comes back to bite Greenberg where the sun dont shine
 
If there's one group of people who have bigger misplaced egoes than footy players it casino security. If they tell you to do something you may as well do it as you'll never win against them.
 
I decided to make a list of all the players I could think of charged with assaulting women over the years, halfway through it something was glaringly obvious.

Why is it that nobody mentions that the overwhelming majority of these players are indigenous?

Shawn Kenny-Dowall (10 counts of assault) - Indigenous
Greg Bird - Indigenous
Greg Inglis - Indigenous
Kirisome Auva -
Ben Barba (twice on the same girlfriend, that we know of) - Indigenous
Blake Ferguson - Indigenous
Dylan Walker - Indigenous
Jack Wighton - Indigenous
Zane Musgrove
Anthony Watts - Indigenous
Matt Lodge
Robert Lui - ( twice on same partner that we know of, should have been banned for life disgraceful human being) Indigenous
Isaac Gordon - Indigenous
Cody Walker - Indigenous
Anthony Cherrington
Jack de belin
Jaryd Hayne

That's 17 players and 11 are indigenous, these are the facts but it seems like nobody wants to talk about this in fear of having the "racist" tag slapped on them.

The NRL really wants to protect the indigenous connection in the game and I feel they are doing it harm by not addressing this issue, from the outside it seems that they are ignoring it or hoping people don't notice, people notice.
 
There are layers here and it’s not a simple problem to solve but you are correct. Add to that the undeserved support Greg Inglis continues to enjoy and you may draw the conclusion that favouritism towards disenfranchised groups (or individuals within these groups) exists.
 
With a bit of luck he'll be charged and convicted over this. Peanut.
 
How dumb must this guy be? To assault his partner is disgraceful but to do it in a casino that has cameras everywhere, is a club sponsor and would of had plenty of witnesses is just plain lunacy. I'm glad it was all caught on camera as the NRL will have no other course of action other than rub him out.
