Barba to start?

[Bulldog Bandit]

Now dont crucify me if im wrong here guys! But ive heard a little rumour that Roberts has been dropped to the bench this week & Barba is starting. It would be a great chance for Barba to steak his claim for the no:6 jersey.

ban BB

if its true i wouldnt mind. just cant see it happening yet

 

[XxFoVoSxX]

it would do the kid wonders if he does. Good luck to him and hope he absolutely kills it

 

[JackTheLad]

Roberts deserves to be on the bench after his performance on Saturday. I was impressed with Barba's defense and the half break he made. Robert's will add value off the bench

i reakon barba off the bench would be better, hes quick and catch the forwards napping towards the end of the game

Either way Barba needs to be more vocal and call for the ball more from Noddy and Ennis. He has to get more involved because he is way too talented and dangerous a player to never touch the ball. Plus he has to get back to supporting the ball runner more which is one of his strengths.

All of that will improve no doubt with more game time and him being comfortable in FG but hopefully we can see more involvement from Barba against the Titans.

I expect Barba to be starting on a permanant basis by round 10 tbh.

I agree with you, Ben. He is so talented but hasn't been calling for the ball much at all. I think he doesn't feel confident enough 'cause Noddy is the man inside him and fair enough but he needs to call for it sometimes because he can make somthing out of nothing.

this has been the case for the few games we've played - he's made 1 run that people remember and 1 tackle that people remember - in 2 NRL games

if he starts he'd want to actually do something

 

[billiris]

yer same but needs to develop a stronger kicking game.

What does roberts do though? Kick out on the full. It's like the lesser of two evils. LOL

Well given he did do better than Roberts on Sat it would be okay, but i doubt he'll last 80 minutes.

Still no Holdsworth and thats a huge plus

no one is going to disagree sir

He doesn't need to Noddy and Innis are kicking just fine.
