2012 Ben Barba is probably the best fullback in the last 30 years. Including better then Slater.
great as Barba was in 2012, Hayne at fullback in 2009 has him beat

your right Hayne did pop up late in the season but that finals run was better then what barba did over the whole season.

both great in 09 &12
But they both didn't win a title and in the end that's all that matters. Yes Barba had Graham, Reynolds and a few other quality players help him. But the general consensus is that Hayne did it on his own and thats not really true, Mortimer came in and made a huge difference and they had Moi Moi, Mateo, Inu, Ben Smith and a host of other players peaking. Like you said Hayne better finals series, but. Barba had the better year, his try savers seem to be forgotten about too imo as alot of these who had the better season things focus alot more on attack.

if we are serious about rebuilding we need to sign him for 2021 so that everybody in the club hates him and cant stand him, then when we release him everybody will be so glad and we will make the 2022 grand final
