Barba can't tackle big men storming through.

We'd lose the Roosters game because Aubusson would trample him like an elephant.
And you think Thompson can tackle big men if out at fullback? Lol
If you remember 2012 barba saved a lot of tries on our goal line des obviously knew his size was a weakness so he trained him to go for the ball when at the try line and the result was us making the gf that year. If barba comes back the only thing that would need tweeking is barbas attitude the rest will follow.

I'm still waiting for Barba to produce anything like what we saw in 2012. I really don't know what he was on that year the difference is astounding. There was once a time when everything he touched turned to gold now it just turns to poo. Won't run, can't pass, tackle or kick. He is a shadow of his former self and i don't know why but i doubt we will see that player again. Unfortunately.

Ummmmmmmmm

What would people say if we managed to snag Brett Morris at fullback ?? He's off contract end of next year and approachable, and Dragons have Kyle Eather / Charly Runciman / Josh Dugan / Jason Nightingale who can play in the #1 jersey..

It's like you're asking virgin nerds if they want to root lol

Any fullback would be an improvement at this stage.

Id rather Brett on the wing, the morris boys need to whind up with their speed.
Id like someone with the instant burst of speed.
But I wouldnt argue if we did :grinning:

You made me watch it. Now I'm just as depressed. I hate what he did to the club, but, shoot me for thinking like this I hate to say it, at this point I'd consider accepting him back... At a very discounted rate that is hahaha

I just did only brings me joy seeing him kill it in our colours good memories
I would not complain if we got him back coz broncos will have Milford and Boyd and Hoffman and barba will fall away. The only way id accept him back though is if all the players are ok with it and if he promises to try his best once more and let hasler do his thing.

It's going to be awkward if he comes back because I really gave it to him on social media and he blocked me (after giving me some shit back).

Barba will never come back here.

Morris and Tim Browne are signed long term... and that's enough reason for Barba to stay well away.

Besides the NRL banned his trademark move by tightening up on the obstruction rule.

I would still taken have taken patten in his prime over Barba any day of the week. That includes 2012 Barba.

I'd be looking at david mead. The rat won't stay at the broncos with Boyd and Milford joining so titans his only real option.
