I knew Ben quite well. In my opinion, his off-field incidents were indications of some underlying issues that needed to be resolved, and he was let down by most of his clubs, (except that the Sharks), his Manager (especially) and the NRL, who preferred to move him on, rather than get him the support he needed. Ben was a great player, respectful and humble...and he did not deserve the lifetime ban. There is a lot more to this story, but a good overview of his playing career.
@@tyzon00800 And why do you think that is? Many young players are not equipped to deal with the fame, the pressure and anxieties that come with expectations of modern football, and substances often become a way of self-medicating to help them cope...so rather than looking at alcohol as the problem, it is a symptom...and players moving from club to club because the "jobs for the boys" welfare managers don't understand mental health, or the clubs and managers only want them to perform on the field and be good little boys off the field are a pressure cooker waiting to explode...and it will keep happening. I never blamed anyone, but the people who benefit from players, need to also take some responsibility for players.
@@phuketprivateisland441good job standing up for him brother. All though he is definitely not innocent and has himself to blame, there are other factors that make people do things as you said and instead of getting helped he was left out to dry
@@phuketprivateisland441 thats a cop out, his indiscretions in Mackay are well documented. An angry young man .
@@ronniegauci3843 Not a cop out at all. Mental health makes people do dumb stuff. Not giving him a pass, but being passed from club to club because of indiscretions, instead of getting him help, was the start of the end. This all could have been avoided. And Ben is not the first, or the last, that will struggle with mental health. The NRL, money grubbing managers and ill-equipped welfare managers need to do better.
I'm sure there is a lot more to his story, yes he definitely needed help a shame for such a talented player. I hope he's able to move on in life now and hopefully forge a new a career after playing league. From NZ
Sharks could not have won in 2016 without him. Hats off to Ben from all the long suffering Sharks supporters!
He was on cocaine Sharks never deserved it
He was an incredible talent at St Helens, one of the most explosive players I've ever seen. And yet after he left we went on to have our most successful period ever. Strange how these things work out
I think benny took the man of steel award far too literally as only 5 months later he was a metal worker.
One of the most exciting players I have had the pleasure of watching. I hope he is happy and doing well.
Yep, in my 60+ years of watching/playing R.L. I would say that Benny Barba and Ellery Hanley are the 2 most beautiful ball runners ever.
What a talent.
In fact, all the Barba boys, Aaron, Ben, and Marmin, are scintillating footballers. Just brilliant!
Alot of players get left behind with gambling and drug addiction
the NRL and clubs push them aside instead giving them the support needed 💯
Nice work. Definitely scope for channels like this that focus on RL.
Im a Cowboys fan and was gutted when he never took to the field for us.
Hope you keep going and keep improving!
Quality channel mate! I saw one and decided to binge watch all your videos only to realise you're new... Looking forward to more like this.
My best and favorite player,well done!
Ben is a great player ,one of the best in the modern game of rugby league.He will always be remembered for his off field issues, but leave this man alone. I wish you were in the game now ,you would kill tried forward packs in the NRL today. I remember when we met in Northlakes in Darwin.💥🔥🏉🏆👍🏿You will always be one of the greatest naturally gifted Sportsmen to have ever played in the history of Rugby League in Australia, they can never take that away from
you , congratulations BEN .🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Nah mehe mai bless you Ben. Barber 🎉ka.pai bless the lord ☘️ 🙏 😢
I miss watching this man play
Benny gave the dogs a bloody few years of bliss
this account is the fkn GOAT. the content is just to good
yes, very good presentation. Was happy to watch the whole report from start to finish. Baba was such a talent - Dally M and Man of Steel, incredible. I used to love watching him play in the NRL. Thanks for the memories Ben and thanks for this upload.
How strong was the Qld origin side at that time when Barba couldn't even get a look in
Only managed 18th man in 2012 game 3 , would have loved to see him play for Queensland
One of those good indigenous Australian players in his prime times,period.TA!
Ben Baba won Shark's first ever premiership, no doubt!
Best channel about the best game! Been really enjoying your content mate. Up the broncos!!
Next you should do the rise and fall of Benny barba. That would go insanely hard!
I would have stuck with him at the broncos over boyd but wayne has his favourites.
This is really well crafted mate keep it up
The season he had in 2012 with the Bulldogs was absolutely unreal. Such a shame his career derailed after that.
I remember when he was in reserve grade and looking at his stats were unbelievable. It was like when Thurston was a fringe player for the Bulldogs. You knew something special was to come.
Off field incidents and personality clashes destroyed him
what do you mean "we'd never know his full potential" - HE LITERALLY WON DAILY M AND MAN OF STEEL - he reached the highest potential recorded in history - everything else is just extra , this man done it.
We will never know his Full potential..! Key word full mate!
Yeh he won those things, but he should still be playing.. he could have won so many more things… as in his “full” potential
@@difdaf436 exactly. He might have even played Origin.
more things ? brother let me remind you again :
ben barber resume :
-daily m (A FKN DAILY M M8)
-MAN OF STEELE (DAILY M OF ENG M8)
-hes won a grand final (FRIST EVER FOR SHARKS IN THIER HISTORY)
-won with indigi rep (ALREADY GOT A DUB)
his next best thing to finish off would to win origin , so i agree we wouldnt really know, but the man completed more than most in the sport of rugby , in such a small time so yes if he kept playing , there would only be space for an origin win because his potential was reached he done it all , GF , DAILY M ,MAN OF STEELE , INDIG REP - only thing left was oriign
Your words are correct, who wouldn't accept a career with a premiership, dally m, man of steel...potential unlocked...
Still one of the greatest we've ever seen no one's come close to the 2012 season he had yet.
Ben was the BENJI, of Australia
A lifetime ban was pretty harsh
That's the NRL pretending to have taken positive steps to resolve the issue.What a load of horse shit.
Agreed
Awesome
Amazing video great work!!
i miss him in the nrl i loved him at the bulldogs he was missed there love ben barba
good athlete. did it all.
Great vedio
I honestly loved ben barber when he played for the doggies he broke me as a kid when he left
TBH he was a great player in the modern era miss watching him play 💪💯
Love your videos, can't wait to see your channel blow up. Could you do one for Todd Carney?
Should've stayed at St Helens. He was worshipped at the club until the NRL came sniffing and his performances dropped. Once home in Australia his off-field behaviour let himself down. Still would be in my best Saints team of all time... 1. Barba 2. Makinson 3. Lyon 4. Meninga 5. Sullivan 6. Martyn 7. Long 8. Walmsley 9. Cunningham 10. Farleigh 11. Joynt 12. Sculthorpe 13. Pinner
He should of stayed with saints, he seemed on his best behaviour over here and he was playing at his peak
Free Ben Barba! ✊🏽💯
What about a video on Paul Hayward, Todd Carney, or Joey? Please.
Cool channel, binge watching all your content at the moment! Great stuff.
Several personally issues?? Damn, that's a lot even for a Canterbury Player!
He was never charged with assault Benny had been with his misses since high school and no one knows the full story but him and his misses at the time. Such bull shit what the NRL did to him he brought many of fans to watch the sport and a fan favourite at many of clubs. He lost his whole legacy of being charged with public nuisance and as for having coke in his system the lad deserved 10 keys for bring the first premiership to the Cronulla sharks I know Benny and his brother Arron and their father Kenny quite well.. Problem is Rugby League player are just that. Hard Mofo that play a brutal sport and are basically the gladiators of this era. They are not politician’s their are not Public Idols they are just man that that put their bodies on line each week for the volent entertainment of the human race !
He's game is pure individual just like Jared Hayne but they both have the similar off field issues. I wonder were would they be in NRL history?
Actually it’s the rise and fall and the rise of fall of Ben Barba
i loved ben barba
I like rugby league for my life OK
Ben Barbara’s potential is my Roman Empire
Media got the best of him
Unfortunately the NRL failed to resolve underlying issues
I'd would Of thought those people @the head office could of at least tryed
He sold the bag, that’s what happened. In his prime he was and is the greatest individual player the game has ever seen smh
Say, what was Bens surname again??? Can't quite recall - you only mentioned it 200 times in 11minutes.....
I wonder if Ben is suffering CTE. Being a play maker and a kicker, would have him taking alot of late hits throughout his career and alot of head trauma. I wonder what a mri looks like with having one from early in his career to now. Alot of his off field behaviour might be neurological damage.
The Canterbury coach was Steve Folkes not Folks.
All football players should have in their contract nil alcohol at all times, it ruins many of them.
Who was the other player to win Man of steel / Daly M
Gavin Miller
He has always been a loose cannon ask anyone from Mackay bet you now he is the first to say he blew it and it’s his own downfall
Barba 12 😮💨
Wish we could’ve seen him play in origin
Sucks imagine if the nrl took him in like how they look after some of these players sucks i would rather ben then Latrell Mitchell
Good job bringing latrell into something that has nothing to do with him. Living on your head rent free
@@Ballz2you95 🤣
The tigers could always use someone with talents.
What happened was that he got chased down by a 43yr old Brad Fittler in 2013 at the Auckland 10's. Then scored a 70m try on him. Case closed
I love NRL, but it is so disappointing that some of the great players are so hell bent on self-destructing!
What if barba never left the doggies
Alcohol and rugby league goes hand in hand.. which is sad. Alcohol is a dangerous drug.
No it's fukin not, it's only dangerous to people who are fuked anyway
Steve Folkes is the correct name
I can't spell folks ,but I can spell your name is idiot 😅😅😅
He outplayed all NRL big time players. This is Australian NRL politics with racism at its best...can't deny that..
Alcohol and fuck ups go hand in hand
What happened to his brother Marmin ?
Druuuuugs man
2018, what a great ye.
Ben is of bad character.
Has proved it over and over again.
I don’t talk too much about him
Why is it that babar never played the state of origin in his prime?
That's just how good the QLD team was at the time, he couldn't even get in to the starting side
👍👍👍👍
The video highlights don't match with the stories so please do a better job in your next story. I enjoyed the video though.
Cronulla Sutherland Sharks are forever in his debt.
Where is bens family when he needs them most. Oh the money dried up. People are responsable for their own actions and if they dont get help themselves its their own fault. Just a harsh reality these days.
Heard he had an affair with Pritchards wife
Interesting video...never knew he played for the Broncos and didn't know he played Aussie Rules after his NRL career! On another note, the videos on the playlist on my channel titled 'Purpose of Life?' might interest some people!
He was slippery as an eel nobody could tackle him ..
ik
Life ban? Thats rubbish.
Too many chances given just weak mentally. No one else to blame you a man act like one
When you're an indigenous young talent who all of a sudden at such an early age to be signed on multi million dollar contracts its a situation that most young kids dream off. However it can be overwealming with minimal support. To be constantly in the media spotlight and how to deal with that is something no one can coach Sometimes you just want to be thought of as a regular person rather than this cult personality.
What a piss poor excuse. You sound like the sort of person who goes through life blaming every one else.
You are correct. But that is where managers, in return for their percentage, should be accountable and supportive and making sure players get all the right advice and support and help set them up financially...but sadly, they only seem to be around for contract negotiation...perhaps if Ben was encouraged to sit out that 12-week suspension and return to an NRL club, instead of moving to France at the behest of his manager...things would be different.
How you win, fullback of the year, dally M medal and most tries for the year, man of the match all star game but not make it to QLD side 🤦🏾♂️
I just don’t understand why Benny didn’t play origin
It shows how strong the Queensland side was during that time
his brother was a standout player, he wasnt
Your not a rugby channel your a rugby league channel
A girl ruined it for thats what happened
Yeah don't you hate it when they complain after being drunkenly punched in the face?
Barba was a loose cannon who couldn't handle his grog.
@@paulgrey8028 he was a big big big gambler aswell
Tries, not trys
Stevefoz
women basher
Stevefox
Wasted potential.
Awesome athlete. Met him at a sporting club in Mackay in 2019. Dude seemed pretty normal and chilled but after a couple of schooners and some unwanted attention things started going downhill. Security de-escalated the situation and things calmed down The dude was a natural athlete definitely not a natural drinker he should’ve only just been retiring from the NRL now not where he ended up
Y
Didn't be bash his missus?
Not life band 🎉rubbish 😒 ka.pai
Wasted talent absolute gun was doing well at sharks after dogs then declined
Sharks never deserved the 2016 GF since he was on coke
cry bout it😊
This could've been simplified in 2 seconds. Cocaine lol
