Sad story. These are the players that make a difference in the game therefore huge loss to NRL.
I am a big fan of Barba. I enjoy those curving & weaving runs.If its only booze related, he should be pardoned once again. However if he slammed his partner, that has to be the end of him at NRL as that has happened before.
NRL should have a better development plan for all new comers & beyond. Getting school dropouts, handing them big money & dumping them into an alcohol culture is not good enough.
