I seen somebody saying that photo is supposedly from a car accident that occurred a few years earlier.
I don't know if that's true or not

| The sport could do without any more bad press at the minute. I hope its nothing too serious or damaging to your club or the sport. Not to mention the people involved.....

Pretty certain that Barba didn’t do anything whilst playing at Saints......
Although there have been plenty of idiots come and gone through the ranks at most clubs.
Edit
This is being publicly reported now.

| Man of the people............ apparently
Just another show of 'billy big balls' by modern rugby league players. The only time we hit the headlines is when stuff like this happens. Forget good tv deals etc. These players need re-educating. It's just a wage for these idiots.

Nobody on Red vee has said anything that hasn't already been reported. And they're not exactly blaming the club, unlike some Muppet who posted the picture on Twitter.

| It's so disappointing from a fan's perspective. Not just Warrington but the community in a whole that these things keep happening. Im certainly not going to gloat with the problems we have had over the last couple of years but something has to change. We need to kick this 'lad' culture out of the game. The 'Mad Mondays' etc it's just an excuse for a load of burly young lads to drink themselves into oblivion and make s of themselves. We will never be taken seriously in the media. Things like this don't heal, they just get worse. We will always be perceived as the working mans sport for degenerates by the southern tabloids who can't wait to jump on every bad RL story. For a Warrington fan (speaking from experience) this has the ability to completely de-rail your season before it starts. You were superb in defeat at our place and again last week against Saints. If your form suddenly drops you can almost certainly attribute it back to this.

| If what is purported should turn out to be true, then that should be a very short Warrington career.

Yay we managed to beat a team that was 1 man down for 60 minutes and 2 men down for 10, let’s celebrate!

| Without pre judging anything I hadn’t heard any suggestion that Gelling had issues before he signed for us. Which is why the comparison of the signings of, say, Barba or Hardaker aren’t comparable.

| Do grown adults always go for pitchforks? In this day and age anyone could fabricate any horrific allegation against you online and you'd be powerless until the truth came out. People should bear that in mind. IF this is true (i have no idea) then yes he will be sacked and hopefully face a custodial sentence until then...just behave and have a word with yourself.
And rugby one-upmanship after an alleged domestic violence issue...classy.

Undoubtedly very disruptive but the club and the playing squad just have to get on with it. We’ve had today to get heads around it plus three more days to prepare for the Wakefield game during which time Price will need to consider his team with or without Widdop. Question marks over whether or not the game will go ahead due to the weather (gale force winds again). A postponement could be a hinderance as much as a blessing. Positives, another week to train and to get Widdop fit. Negatives, we probably need to get players onto the pitch rather than dwelling on matters.

In this day and age it's easy to ruins someone career, marriage, public life and friendships with an accusation, to be honest it's to easy.
I don't know what he is accused of, because I am not on facebook and although I am on twitter I have not seen anything about it, only seen what is on here and the "Official Statement" and I am not about to go looking for what he accused of doing because frankly it's not for me to judge him because I do not have all the fact's, and without fact's you cannot judge something.
I have seen it a few times where people are accused of something and they are judged by people to be guilty, loosing friends and jobs only to be proven innocent of what they are accused of but they always have it hanging over there head because people just won't give it up.
Unfortunately in this instance, it's already affected his career and his reputation with the fans without the fact's being presented which is why I won't judge him, and it may be warranted that it's affected it but it also may not be warranted, unless someone who was actually there speaks to the media, which I suspect they won't be allowed to if it's a serious incident then all people have to go off is rumours, rumours which like chinese whispers could have vital information missing.
If proven innocent it's still going to affect his career etc because people will believe it's a cover up and never let it go, but others will forget and move on.
If proven guilty though, I would hope if it's serious enough to warrant a stint behind bars that he receives a sentence befitting of the crime and not given special treatment because of "Celebrity Status" and if it's not befitting of a stint behind bars but deserves sacking or a suspension then he should get what it deserves.
This is the problem with social media, something happens and it spreads like wildfire before anything is known and in this instance brings bad press to the sport and the club.

To be fair you’re quite right about unfounded accusations, there were lots of claims about Escare that never came to be true (I for one don’t believe a conspiracy that a company hid an employees alleged criminal act)
This thing with Gelling has been reported on the tv news, national newspaper websites and Wite themselves have suspended him. I don’t think that this is just smoke....

| If this is true and he gets sacked it won't de-rail the club at all, one guy doesn't have that power and if he did the other players would be pretty soft if so. And if it is true theres no guarantee he'll get fired, he'd proberbly go to councelling etc the same as drug users and drink drivers etc
