No mention at all of all of his off field indiscretions including drub abuse and domestic violence? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.206.139.218 (talk) 04:12, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
is/was
Should we use is or was on the article given he's idenfinately banned? RhinosF1(chat)(status)(contribs) 18:09, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

- I've made a slight change based on a discussion with another editor. RhinosF1(chat)(status)(contribs) 19:10, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
- was. I understand your thought but the tense is describing the subject itself, not modifying the following occupation. This is just WP policy/practice. See the pages of other retired but living people for examples. I’d cite some examples but I’m on mobile. Cheers ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ᐐT₳LKᐬ 02:19, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
- I fully understand, hopefully my reword is now better. RhinosF1(chat)(status)(contribs) 06:34, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

Writing off Barba is way too premature and just
WP:CRYSTAL. He is only banned from the NRL and the British Super League. There is currently nothing stopping him from playing rugby league in France, a Pacific Islands nation, or even club football in New Zealand. Then there are all the rugby union options. We need patience until it is seen if/where he plays in 2019. WWGB (talk) 07:47, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

Adding stats for players that never play
User:Fleets has just added the stats for 2019 to the infobox even though he hasn't played a game. Is this really needed? RhinosF1(chat)(status)(contribs) 19:55, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
- Yes he definitely spent time at the club. The fact that he never took to the field is immaterial as seen with Fraser Forster.Fleets (talk) 21:00, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
I was unsure but if it's
WP:CONSENSUS to put it rather than just a comment like in the 2019 section then I understand. RhinosF1(chat)(status)(contribs) 21:03, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
