[Confirmed] Ben Barba signs with Cronulla

ivanhungryjak said:
So Barba on the news was saying that he's more confident about next year because the Sharks pack is more like the 2012 Dogs pack and he didn't fit the style of football that the Broncos played.

Also interesting was that he freely admitted he'd hang out with the dreaded EBC and Flanagan also said that he'd put no restrictions on him.

Has all the makings of Carney all over again if they're not careful.

At the risk of sounding stupid what is EBC?

Seriously speaking, Barba will have a good forward pack to play behind next year and having Ennis will gave them good direction around the rucks and Fifita, Gallen, Heighington, Graham and Bukuya are forwards that can pop an offload and get you in some space but he will be playing a far more organising and directive role than he did at the Bulldogs in 2012.

Epic Bender Crew. After his stellar 2012 he fell in with them and was socialising with them and went off the rails.

He fell in with them before and during his 2012 season, they were just lucky enough to keep their exploits out of the media.

If you go back and read some of my posts around the time I'm sure I've mentioned it but I have 1 degree of separation between some of those guys. me and some friends found it endlessly entertaining when the "ebc" scandal broke, and were not shocked at all when the "great role model and face of rugby league" Benny Barba turned out to be a gronk.

At the time of the romours of us signing him (which I'm also sure I was one of the first to mention), I thought he would go alright for us so I had no objections but on the same token, I'm not sad to see him go due to what I know about him and his mates.

There is no such thing as absolute certainty, although I have enough reliable information to have made up my mind, but certainly not to convince someone with your... admiration for WB.

Don't ask for what that reliable information is, or where I got it from, won't happen. So feel free to accuse me of making shit up...

No problem....what is fair to say then is you dislike him due to an action or actions of WBs that you personally didn't see but trust the veracity of the information. I thought it must have been something to do with football .An example might be the behind the scenes action during Griffins demise. A dislike based on second hand information, okay....no evidence required there. There is such a thing as absolute certainty like when a person cheats you or destroys your life somehow or falsely accuses you of something . Then you can be certain that person is guilty and deserving of dislike or worse. Anyway, I'll write no more on that subject. It's in the wrong thread to be honest....

On Barba, I will be filthy if he hates on the Broncos. I just want him to get on with his new task and be another in form Queenslander we can call on when it's cocky fucking time !
 
Made me sick in the stomach seeing barba wearing the Sharks gear. Really hope he doesn't go off the rails again. So did his girls not move down with him? I saw his Instagram saying he'd miss seeing them.. So sad

I think he said they'll be moving down at the end of the school year.

That's two sites now. The fact the first went down is totally not my fault.

And it's accepted knowledge that the only reason I got the gig here is because I let the boys stare at a photo of my wife in a bikini on my TV room wall. Encouraged even.

Sounds like Barba didn't like playing for us much because it didn't suit his style.
