THESE are some of the text messages Ainslie Currie sent to a friend after fronting the Bulldogs and alleging her former partner Ben Barba punched her in the face.

As the NRL continues its investigation into claims the star fullback was the subject of a domestic violence complaint, The Daily Telegraph can reveal a partial transcript of the explosive text messages Ms Currie sent to a friend detailing the injuries she is alleged to have sustained following an altercation with Barba on February 24.

Ms Currie sent a friend a series of text messages describing her injuries before reluctantly sending a picture that showed the lower section of her face covered in blood.

"Nothings funny, you should see my face," Ms Currie wrote.



"It is not good ey (sic). Because it is ugly."

The friend urged Ms Currie to provide more details.



"I just have a busted lip," Ms Currie continued.



"I have to go away for a few days maybe weeks".

BARBA ISSUE HITS AT NRL INTEGRITY

NRL TO REVIEW BARBA CLAIMS

BRONCOS WILL STAND BY BEN

Ms Currie was asked by the concerned friend to send a picture so they could see the extent of the alleged injuries to face of Barba’s former partner.



“Ok do u (sic) want blood or the aftermath?" Ms Currie wrote.



"Blerh (sic)."

Ms Currie then sent the photograph that was exclusively published in The Sunday Telegraph when the revelations of the assault allegations were revealed.



The picture is now in the hands of the NRL Integrity Unit, which is investigating the alleged assault as well as the possibility the incident was covered up by the club.



“I have the bigggggest bruised jaw ever," Ms Currie said after the friend asked when “he" did this.



“This morning. I can’t even remember how it all came about. I was lying dwn (sic) goin (sic) back to sleep."



The friend asked where "he" was, with Ms Currie stating “he" was at Belmore.



The Daily Telegraph can reveal further details of the alleged incident that saw Barba sent to rehabilitation after being stood down by the club.



Ms Currie told Bulldogs officials Barba confronted her in her Caringbah apartment on the morning of February 24 and asked her whether or not she was having a relationship with another man.



Ms Currie was estranged from Barba at the time and the footballer was in a relationship with another woman.



Barba is understood to have had an issue with the man he suspected had become close with his former partner.



Ms Currie is alleged to have fled over a balcony from the ground floor apartment she formerly shared with Barba before calling the footballer’s manager, Gavin Orr.



Mr Orr took Ms Currie to Belmore where the assault claims were made to Bulldogs coach Des Hasler and former CEO Todd Greenberg.



Both Greenberg and Hasler directed Ms Currie to go to police.



Ms Currie has resumed a relationship with Barba. Contrary to reports, Ms Currie is not living in Brisbane, but plans to move to Queensland with Barba when he begins his new contract with the Broncos.



Barba has admitted to having gambling and alcohol problems, which the Bulldogs have tried to address. The Daily Telegraph can reveal the Bulldogs pay a percentage of Barba’s wage directly into Ms Currie’s account.



The Bulldogs are co-operating fully with the NRL’s investigation. It has been incorrectly reported the club leaked the information to The Sunday Telegraph after Barba decided to seek a release from the final two years of his contract. The Sunday Telegraph broke the story after a six-week investigation, which began after the newspaper learned of the existence of the photo.



The Broncos have indicated they will honour the deal and support Barba.
