What sort of message is the NRL sending as to the value it places on the World Club Championship if it doesn't count that game in Barba's suspension? Surely it's one the biggest games a player could miss in his career, and as such should definitely be included as a significant part of any ban. At the very least, Barba should be back in round 12 - not after Round 12. You could argue the All Stars game is a valid game for inclusion also given he's been a constant in the Indigenous team.
