Barba gooone!!

Karma’s a b...

re  ben baba
So what did he do? Spill his drink?

It involved his partner at the casino. Weidler hasn't released all the details yet, but reckons Barba will never play again if true. 
The sacking sure makes it sound really bad & true, whatever it was.

Edit: The story has now been updated to assault allegations captured on CCTV also in front of witnesses.

Ring ring ring..
.hello...
Todd....it's Ben....need your help mate.

..... don’t the Cowboys wish now they held onto Future Immortal Lachlan Coote?



Barba.... you fwit!
Can’t wait for the day someone belts the sh1te out of him

Really disappointing...
I was looking forward to watch him play again. 
Was half hoping he would come back to us too...
There goes his career.

Put a ladies wig on him and its just a matter of time until he is assaulted by a cowboys player...

Ever since Barba got caught up with Dman’s Epic Bender Crew in the Shire he’s always thought he’s some tough guy.....


So what did you guys get up to anyway Dman?

He's a great guy when he's sober....well alright guy...would you believe little bit less than okay...mediocre bloke...total arrogant arsehole...criminal

What a moron Barba is. If you are gonna bash your missus what better place to do it than at a casino. The place with the most cameras and the highest quality footage. 

So in the overall scheme of things does Todd have to step up and accept responsibility for condoning the original 2013 bashing? What will Todd say?

Well Greenberg certainly doesn't look great in the whole thing but I'm not a big one for witch-hunting the past. Suffice to say Barba is done with NRL for good.

Bad drunks never change. A bad drunk can never become a happy drunk, all a bad drunk can do is swear off the grog entirely, completely and forever. and I doubt Barba's got the will power for that.

So good riddance. And Mrs Barba just take the kids and get the hell out of there and don't look back, forget the f***in' loser like the rest of the world is going to.

Well done young KP... What a way to take advantage of getting dropped first ball... 

Suddenly a line up of Warner, Harris, Burns, Smith, Head, Patterson looks like it's got some runs in it, even some solidity.

So anyway, now it's official:

Phil Tufnell is much funnier and a better commentator than Kerry O'Keefe and he doesn't fake guffaw at his own jokes. Tell me - anyone heard Kerry O'Keefe laugh at anyone elses joke?

That's right, no you haven't.

CH7 wins the commentary because of the above and they haven't got Shane Warne and they got the best two of the new breed in Ponting and Fleming who are so far ahead of the rest and the only ones of the new gen capable of going on to join the greats.

Not a bad option there, moving Burns to 3.
 
I hope Starc gets his mojo back, unlike some of our ex-batsmen, he has got talent in spades, and I recon he is trying, perhaps trying to hard.
It is rare to see a bowler so far out of form, but still bowling fast.
It is one of those things where he may click at any time, and there a small chance get might never get it all back together.
I think he needs to warm into things a bit, try to get the ball outside off and shorter initially, then work slowly back onto his attacking line.
The throw in one attempted wicket taking ball every over for the first 3, one ball per over being hit for 4 is not big deal, 3 4s in the first over is saps the confidence.

A negative for CH7 is they're still persisting with Glen McGrath who I don't think has laughed since about 1980. The reason he stands so tall is that giant stick up is his arse.

Personality = duck egg.

Only thing wrong with Tuffers is, he is technically a pom.

If he appeals for political asylum after Brexit do we grant it, or ship him back to the asylum?

Some guys just don't have it.

I'm just glad I haven't heard pup Clark commentate recently,  some guys are ruining their legacy by opening their mouths,

That is the great thing about Tuffers,his playing legacy was mainly comedy, so just more of the same after retirement.

Been off here for months, very refreshed, hardly read any posts. Have I missed anything scintillating?

No shock that the lowlife scum at it again. Agree with everything Greenberg said today, pity he didn't take action 6 years ago.

Vaughn told a funny story yesterday that cracked up Kerry.

Overall, I enjoyed the job all the Fox commentators did this summer. Best part is no ads. They were all much more relaxed because of it, as was I being a mere spectator. The ones on commercial TV are always tense, gotta throw to a break, can't start a story or anecdote etc.

Great story by Kerry on Bradman yesterday, vintage clips of the Canberra oval, ex politicians in the crowd (that supposedly convinced him at age 54 to have a bat) & a vintage close up of a woman in the crowd wearing sunglasses ahead of her time.

As for their commentary team, Hussey & Gilchrist are from the more recently retired brigade, then they had guys like Border & Kerry from the older school, lady Isa over from England, as well as Warney & a few others. I think they got Heally over for the last 2 tests. 

Kerry has 2 laughs. There's the forced one when he's more in control of it, then there's the contagious one when he isn't in control, which sounds freakishly out of place, something like a cross between Mutley & something from the back seat of Cheech & Chongs car.

None of that is to suggest the channel 7 guys can't do their jobs, to each their own, but the ads are a deal breaker.

Welcome back Nancy.

Tag you're it. Now I can have a break indefinitely. :)

Yes unfortunately you're first paragraph is very true. 

You're either born a good drunk or you're a bad one. 

Damn autocorrect
