Meanwhile, the headline link to that article about Barrett needs to be entered into "Most Misleading Headlines" for 2020. It is atrocious, and this is a year with headlines about Covid, bushfires, and all kinds of stuff.
Typical gossip hound journos

I'm honestly not the biggest fan of RFM. He's a decent player on his day. But for a while I thought he needed to simplify his game in some ways. He had a phase where he'd run backwards to try and get outside of players which just meant the rest of the team were put offside and had to back up after he was tackled which didn't help with creating momentum. His current form isn't terrible and he doesn't seem to be doing that anymore. But I've never rated him due to that part of his game.

Yes agree. To me him and Elliott similar in that they flap around doing a lot of effort for not much gain.

Oh to have a Tank type player. See what Barrett can do to improve the squad.

I reckon he played his best footy in the middle coming off the bench. Got some footwork there if he can just get the offload goin again he could prove dangerous coming in late in the halves.

He should be extended purely based on the fact he's shown he can play on the edge and also provide impact through the middle third. I do believe he's a benchy though.

Players like this are valuable as it allows you to run a utility and 2 genuine front rowers with them on the bench.

Don’t think we’ve seen the best of RFM under pay hope he sticks around

I think RFM will benefit the most from Barretts arrival. He has so much potential but has been stuck playing our shit football the past 4 years. He always manages to get his arm free for an offload but theres never anyone backing him up. If we play a more fluid style of attack he will easily become our best second rower.

Agree,but if he can get some the mistakes out of his game,could be an asset
Yeah, Really needs to sort his hands out which is why the middle suits him more.

The combination of rotating your starting props with RT an RFM is a no brainer for any top squad.

Good squad signing

RFM looks ok on his day especially compared to some of the other flops we have impersonating first graders but f*** we should have kept Lane, thanks Des.
