Interesting.

So obviously it's not just the Sharks who want Barba. And obviously he wasn't going to be given a chance to push his claims and didn't have a chance to prove it, like some Benecolytes were sprouting.

But **** that aspect, I'm keen to know who Bennett views as the #14 in the 17. Waddell? Parcell? Jikorima? Far more interested in that than Barba.

Hopefully we don't release him unconditionally and only to the highest bidder, or at least bidders who will pay all his wages.
 
Re: [RUMOUR] Ben Barba to Cronulla

Feel sorry for barba. He came here to be with his kids and sort out his life. I can't help but put blame on griffin, Hoffman, Bennett and Boyd for barbas departure. I hope he goes well for his new club and kills it against the Broncos next year. Rugby league needs a firing Ben barba
 
Re: [RUMOUR] Ben Barba to Cronulla

So it's confirmed, basically.

Very tough going on Barba. I hope Boyd is up to it.

Looks like there will be a story in the CM about Barba's future tomorrow.

Badel deleted his tweet but keep your eyes open.

Tomorrow and Sunday.

There is a reason Bennett wasn't at training yesterday.

1910 chiming in with his inside knowledge after the fact :lol:

Ah well, I'm glad it's over with, Barba didn't deserve to be left hanging in ISC or on the bench, but at the same token, he didn't really deserve a spot in the spine either, wish him the best of luck wherever he goes but, seems like a cool guy.

Bullshit he didn't deserve to be languishing in Q Cup. His form this year proved that is exactly what he deserved.

Yeah you're probably right, I was just being nice in case someone from the Sharks was reading, he's awful.
 
Re: [RUMOUR] Ben Barba to Cronulla

bargain.

crazy that someone whos NRL career is over and has no teams wanting him can get $1mil a season.


Neither Inglis or Slater have had a year as good as Barbas 2012.

Haha you know who else was good in the past? Wally Lewis. I'm sure that means he will always have the chance to be that good, right?

Well you could probably piss in their mouth and tell them it's raining.

Barba's 2012 season will never be repeated. It wasn't a fluke.....it was just simply, his peak.

1 mil/yr ? Pfft .....the Sharks must be still takin' drugs.

I've got no problems with him going and don't for one minute fear that he will come back and bite us.
