Moore has again got it all wrong. Yeah that's right, bring him on when we're desperate. How much pressure does Kevin wanna put on the kid? It's not what he needs, and it's not what the team needs.
He was clearly needed earlier in the game, but he only got 25mins exactly. Moore really needs to pull his head out. Barba is the only unpredictable player in a predictable team.
Do you wonder why we never convert possession into points? Predictability. We throw nothing at the opposition to trouble them.

Yes Barba is great in attack but woeful in defence

Look, our defence is like a rice cracker at the moment. We're not gonna win games with defence. We have to make sure we consolidate a lead with our ATTACK, and things will flow from there.
At this stage, I think we're in the position that we have to start trying things, given that the current system CLEARLY isn't working. We must focus our game on attack and pressure, rather than defence and conservative footy.

I understand what you mean but defence can help you win games. What good is having a great attack when you lose by 16 or 20 points when your defence is weak?
At the game tonight, it was obvious to me that Barba is being wasted. Bag his defence all you like but the truth is that until he came on, we looked completely lost in attack despite dominating the first 15-20 minutes. The play we tried to use down the left hand side worked great in the first half but Bennett schooled the right side Dragons defenders during the break and it showed in the second half. Other than that, the only other spark in attack was Barba. He's got to be in the starting side somewhere!

its about building pressure Slippery is 100% right the issue is not our defense so much as our attack gives the opposing team too much opportunity on us
When your playing good attacking footy and getting repeat sets the other team is too out of puff to do anything special against you look to the Tigers game this year to see that
We are not putting pressure on other teams and essentially short of a miracle where every team plays like crap against us we won't make the 8
6 losses and 3 wins is NOT GOOD ENOUGH!
Look at it this way we are 1 better than the sharks for wins as it stands doesn't sound very good looking at it that way does it?

Yes, it can, but it isn't. We don't have a solid enough defence to win games with it. Therefore, we must focus our game on attack.
Logic.

3.1
his defence has improved heaps this season but still has flaws but as slippery said... our defence this season has been shocking at worse...
with the amount of possession we had against parra and the dragons in the first 20 minutes we should have scored more and gives us more momentum and us controlling the game like what we did against the roosters and tigers this season

+ Tigers.
I don't know if he is the saviour to our attacking problems but despite what others might say, I think a team with Barba and Roberts in the halves is a fair bit more dynamic than Kimmorley and Green. I do like how tenacious Kimmorley is and I think green is a great utility player (off the bench perhaps) but I just don't think this pairing works in attack. Maybe Kimmorley and Barba?
Either way, Barba needs more game time and preferably before we are at the point where we are chasing points with time running out!!!

You can't win games on an average of 3 tries if you have mediocre defence.
Only when your defence is 100% up to scratch will you expect to win games on that average, and even then it's a mammoth ask!
I close to feeling the same habib but I dont want to lose hope. But one thing is for cetain is that Barba needs to come on alot early like the 25-30 min mark. We look lost last night BK played average and we needed direction
