Ben Barba - 2013 Discussion Thread

[wigum]

General discussion on match form, selection, injuries, contracts, and anything else here.

 

[doggie-style]

Has been really quiet this season

 

[The 2nd Spitter]

Controversial statement of the week: Barba is a defensive liability due to his size and the fact he tackles high.

There's an old adage in league that if you're a fullback, you should never let the opposition fullback show you up. Both Sluter and Inglis showed him up badly in his last two games.

I understand this view is going to be unpopular and fully accept the consequences that may flow from it, but I will stand by this view until I am furnished with evidence to the contrary.

U drunk? Barba saved tries last year and will do the same this year. I thought he outplayed Inglis, first game back and I thought he went well for his first game. He's only gunna get better. Also u been hiding under a rock? Barba didn't play against Melbourne, This guy is gunna get better and better, has the potential to be better then slater IMO. Give yourself an uppercut saying his a defensive liability and too small!

If the mole got his info from this page, that later denied what they posted, then I feel a little better https://www.facebook.com/NRL24.7?ref=ts&fref=ts
