Every player sledges. It's a part of professional sport.

Yep some do it nicely some do it nasty/dirty and I have to agree won't miss him one bit :d good riddance.

How the fuck do you sledge nicely?
"You tackle softer than your sister. Who I fucked last night. No offence."

Not all opponents are good at sledging afro as I'd imagine you could agree..
Some you laugh at,some you know hardly blurt out a word during most contests but try blurting out some useless crap that hardly get you offended but then you know the good ones, hodges, we have had the luxury over the years seeing all things on the box, you can see his intent to hurt, back stab, sneakiness, he is one of the most dirty players in the nrl imo.
I hear he's an ok guy off the pitch - but he sure isn't on, yep you have your game face on during games but he's a low belter, doesn't matter if you see it otherwise.

Cya Benny. Twat.

If I were Raelene Castle I'd tell Barba to get fucked and if he wants to go back to Queensland so badly you can do it at the end of 2014 when your contract ends. Until then enjoy reserve grade.

So classy Sydcro.

So classy Sydcro.

I understand where he's coming from. He's being a selfish twat. If you look at how the club stood right by him during his darkest days during his drug and alcohol rehab, supporting him every inch of the way, and then he turns around and bascially tells the club the fuck off, yeah I can understand the supporters - of both Barba and the Bulldogs being majorly pissed off.

Why is Parramatta Eels coach Ricky Stuart untouchable?

AS Ricky Stuart returns to his Suncorp Stadium graveyard Friday night with one hand on the NRL wooden spoon it is hard to believe the Parramatta coach is not a dead man walking.
This is despite failing to find any improvement in a Parramatta side almost certain to become the first club since South Sydney in 2003-2004 to claim back-to-back wooden spoon.
In fact, if not for last week’s 26-22 win over the equally inept Wests Tigers, Stuart would have created unwanted rugby league history by becoming the first coach ever to lose 11 consecutive matches at two different clubs.

Talk about spreading the Midas touch.
Former coach Stephen Kearney copped the blame of Parramatta’s woes in 2012 but as we have seen this year - with five 30-plus floggings - the Eels are no better off with Stuart at the helm and are still two wins shy of the six victories they produced last year and in 2011.

His overall NRL record is now 120 wins, 120 losses and 1 draw from 241 games.
But since 2009 Stuart-coached football teams have won just 14 of their past 61 games.
To stop the slide and buy time from a dysfunctional board, Stuart plans to sack half the roster and start again.

But his biggest name signing next year is Bronco Corey Norman, who is now struggling in Queensland Cup, while the likes of Gareth Hock, Josh Papalii and Israel Folau all agreed to joint the Eels but subsequently changed their minds.
Two years ago he was labelled NSW’s messiah, but he never delivered a trophy and returned back to the NRL where his coaching record now stands at just one finals appearance in his last seven seasons.

In four years at Cronulla, Stuart got the Sharks to the finals just once, flogged by Melbourne in the 2008 preliminary final.
A decade ago Stuart was considered a coaching genius.

He took the Sydney Roosters to the premiership in his debut season after inheriting a star-studded team that had made six successive finals and were runners-up under Graham Murray two years earlier.

He won a 2005 Origin series with NSW but it all fell apart when sacked as Kangaroos Test coach for presiding over Australia’s shock 2008 World Cup final loss here at Lang Park.
It was the first time since 1972 Australia had not won the World Cup, but it was his verbal abuse of referee Ashley Klein that made his job untenable.

It proved what Queensland fans have long known, that Stuart is the biggest whinger in the game.
That reputation only grew with an expletive-laden spray of referees on the Gold Coast in round six and after a repeat outburst in round 15 his coaching career fines total almost $100,000.

The game’s deepest thinker might have deep pockets but success has been shallow pickings in Queensland, his last trip to Suncorp ending in tears thanks to Cooper Cronk’s miracle field goal in the 2012 Origin decider.
It was the seventh straight loss Stuart had suffered coaching in Brisbane, his last victory coming as Test coach in 2007.

He might have missed the Origin pain with NSW four weeks ago, but on Friday night the Broncos can hand Stuart his own eight straight Lang Park defeats.

Why did he have to go and **** her and have babies so young he wouldnt be going if that whore didnt have kids.

Was just having a look on the Kennel found this:


Yep those Bulldogs fans are a classy bunch.

I'm certain we could offer some fair compensation to the dogs, young Lachlan Maranta is on the up a real kid on the rise. We should throw in state of origin star Peter Wallace as well.

Bill Harrigan made a very good point about on this whole Barba situation. What happens if in a year or two his ex-partner decides to move away from Brisbane. Will he then want to leave the Broncos early?

Well it all depends where his kids go I guess. But if she were to move I'd assume he'd go as well.

Hoffman has turned down a swap deal with the bulldogs. \:d/ \:d/ \:d/

Some talk that he could play at #6 to fit in Barba. So I'd assume Milford would be #7 then?
