The one win from first six attempts is not the major concern; the major concern at the moment with the Bulldogs is the innuendo behind the scenes. In saying this the rumours are circulating around the rugby league world that Ben Barba wants an immediate mid-season release to join the Brisbane Broncos. The underlying issues with Barba stem prior the season even kicked off; he was originally placed into a rehabilitation clinic to deal with his own admission of having an alcohol and gambling problem and was consequently stood down for the first four rounds of the competition. Moreover, further rumours circulating state that Barba's behaviour has led to angst among his team mates and damaged the strong team bond they once had. Bulldogs CEO Todd Greenberg has come out as recently as yesterday to dismiss the rumours that the club is in turmoil through his personal twitter account (https://twitter.com/Todd_Greenberg). However, just as all league fans are aware of, for rumours to be circulating there must be some substance behind them.
