Message: [QUOTE="Unbreakable, post: 2521694, member: 8290"] Didn't see any confirmation in there, but the Bulldogs have acknowledged that he's asked for a release - [url=http://www.nrl.com/bulldogs-confirm-barbas-release-request/tabid/10874/newsid/74063/default.aspx]Bulldogs confirm Barba's release request - NRL.com[/url] Canterbury boss Raelene Castle has given the strongest indication yet that the Bulldogs may not be able to keep unsettled superstar Ben Barba. Fullback Barba has sought a release from the final two years of his contract, saying he wants to be close to his ex-partner and two children who are relocating to Queensland. New Bulldogs chief executive Castle said on Friday the issue of a release had only been discussed in recent days, despite wide speculation about the possibility over several weeks, and the club had been focused on the other off-field issues which delayed Barba's start to the season. "We were very much hoping that we could find a resolution to this discussion within the Bulldogs environment, but unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case," Castle told Sky Sports Radio. "It was only within the last 10 days that we got an official release (request). Previous to that, we hadn't had any specific dialogue." [/QUOTE]
