[Devilhead]

Damian Barrett has retracted his statement regarding Ross Lyon telling the players to "go f##k themselves"

He just tweeted

Just got a call from Ross Lyon - he said he didn't say, "Go f... yourselves" to his players re NZ curfew-break

Well well there you go - what an absolute langer

There is only one thing that needs to be said

Go f##k yourself Damian Barrett

too late - it's already being reported as gospel

He might as well have said it.

I love the way idiots on twitter on thheir high horses etc are jumping to all sorts of conclusions.

twit for twat

It hasn't stopped the age from running with the same quote.

[GrumpyOne]

Reading The Bubble by Misson, and I can believe that is exactly what Ross said.

Pulls no punches, does Ross.

[widereceiver]

If he didn't say it, I wish he had said it. We would be in total agreement. No wonder we choked in the last few GFs, I would think Lenny would be gutted by this moronic behaviour.

[Bernard Shakey]

From what I've heard he actually said "You can all get ......"

Ross seems to be playing word games.

[StSteven]

I hope he did say it.....I feel the same way.

I can only imagine, but surely as a young player you'd crap yourself if he said that to you... add a hangover to that and I reckon you may feel like throwing up too.

I'm hopeful that this is the very last straw, and comes to be seen as the turning point.

Rockstars out, elite professional athletes in.

We've been down that path with Brad Howard...

But i agree with you in regards to them being more professional.
The game has become saturated in media coverage, and in turn, increased advertising revenue.
The spotlight on players has increased and they have been adequately compensated both through wages and the oppotunities that being a professional sportsman provides, IMO. But a few of them must start to act like they deserve it.

I can't wait for the season to get under way! Then work banter might be a bit more enjoyable!

You mean the same Lenny that lurks in nightclubs and gets in stinks with bouncers?

Id rather our players apologise to the supporters than some minor crap like that especially when id say it is at least half true.

Yep! But I don't believe Barrett should have to appologise anyway. It's not like he printed this statement. He wrote it on Twitter. It is no different to some of the other ridiculous statements written on this forum.

Barrett is paid to write crap - that's the difference.

Meanwhile, Barrett suggested that Dawson may have been unlucky to receive such harsh punishment from the club which also included a $5000 fine.

“He had some alcohol when he shouldn’t have and that immediately broke a rule, so he’s silly enough to have done that,â€
