Ben Barba says he's committed to the Canterbury Bulldogs Ben Barba says he is sticking with the Canterbury Bulldogs despite the rumours to the contrary. DALLY M champion Ben Barba has confirmed his commitment to the struggling Bulldogs, rubbishing rumours that he wants out. "With the team not going well, people are starting a lot of rumours," he told me in an interview this afternoon. "No-one wants a release," he said. I'm at Canterbury for another three years until 2015. I've got a long term deal and I now want to focus on my football. His full interview with The Daily Telegraph will be published in tomorrow's newspaper. Barba will also appear on Peter Sterling's show on Fox Sports tonight. "I think when I was feeling down or feeling blue, my only way of escaping was drinking alcohol or gambling an excess amount and it was my only way of escaping," Barba tells Sterlo.
