Ben Barba DROPPED?

[Aristidiz]

Just to make it clear to everyone, good coaching is not just about selecting the right players for a match. Moore selected Romelo both on form and to interchange him with an Ennis returning from Origin duties. This logic seems quite reasonable. What is not reasonable is dropping out our most potent attacking weapon from the 17 this season.

Our structure has been found out and Moore clearly has no second gameplan. Jim Dymock should be our head coach, if not officially then behind the scenes.

TBH Barba hasn't done much since the opposing teams have started marking him heavily. The reality is there is limited spots on the bench and the pain train is making a massive statement from his past two games.

Barba's future is full back, i'd prefer to see him in reggies playing at fullback so he can learn the position.

So you don't think the fact that he is playing behind a pathetic forward pack that that may limit his effectiveness? FFS give the kid a chance. Seriously Moore needs to have some faith in the kid. Ye let's stick him in reggies, that will really develop his skills. Its about time Moore start placing the blame on our forwards and sto hiding behind the truth.

green is no better than holdsworth. Green has better hands, but holdsworth had a passing game

holdsworth didnt hav a passing game, holdsworth couldnt pass right lol he always floated the ball, baha

 

[w00t]

No clue why he was dropped instead of Wobbleton...

 

[piggy]

barba> warbs...i seriously got a problem with this guy when he gets his hand on the ball.. either a drop ball or when hes defending a penalty =="

not to mentioned he gets smashed in every tackle. What the hec does Moore see in this guy?

 

[The Detailer]

There's only one person that needs to be dropped - and that's Moore

One good right uppercut to the chin

100% correct my friend!! The bloke needs to fk off ASAP!!

Pretty sure the last 8 weeks have been him talking **** about missing 'key forwards' like Hickey LOL oh and paea who he just placed in reserves, very contradictory huh...

Moore doesn't know himself why we are playing like ****wits. Signs of a pathetic coach

 

[adamski007]

WTF - Barba has payed his dues and at least deserves to keep a spot on the bench for 2010 then permanant fullback for 2011 - Lets just waste and throw away another JT/MATTY BOWEN in the making.....

 

[Dogmad]

moores lost it. how the **** can he drop barba. might of been quite last week but it was his first game starting..should of started at 5/8 beside noddy today.
barba will be the next jt and idris next sbw

 

[zeedog]

I have been defending Kevin uptill now...can't defend him any more spcially after dropping Barba.

 

[sgodllubsti]

the dogs roster on paper for the start to the season looked very good, now round 12 were gone.
i cannot understand kevin moore playing hannant when he wasnt right, and dropping barba, keeping warburton, barba has done more in a very short time on the field them most of the team and he drops him wtf

 

[Berries]

Based on his past months form he clearly was the worst on that bench, and your kidding yourself if you dont see it. Plus for all we know it could be due to not turning up at training etc

are you Kevin Moore in disguise??

Cos no sane person with a some footy brain would drop the highest try scorer of the team and also the one who has provided spark when ever he has come off the bench.

His one try a game for first 6 weeks has clearly dried up. Has done nothing lately. We looked world beaters in the second half wihout him, we looked world beaters against the dragons in the first half without him etc etc. He is not be all or end all.

I feel the same way. After waiting for so long for him to put him in the 17, why drop him now. Barba was needed today!

How is barba promoted from the bench to starter last week but dropped this week?

Smells a little, there has to be more to it. Id hurry up and tell us why kevvy before we start pinning your image to our dart boards.

moore said on the abc grandstand interview that barber had lost his fitness because of little game time he has been playing thats why he wasn't in the team and jake foster injuried his shoulder at training yesterday

 

[lil_wezzy]

Surely we don't rely on 80 minutes of football a week to keep the fitness levels of players up? What is training for? Clearly not for strategising.

Moore: Ok boys here's the plan for this week, for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd tackle do some one out passing to our injury depleted forwards, hell do the same for tackle 4 and 5, oh and don't forget to give a penalty away on the 5th *looks at warbo* And finally, play like **** ****s for the first 40 to piss off all our members
