Why is Barba so hard to tackle?

[Gladiator.]

Read your question again you answered them already.

Pound for pound best fullback.

His speed footwork and ability to create opportunities from nothing makes his exciting to watch

easily the strongest in the club (pound for pound)

Thanks guys we didn't hear Rabs & Gould on Friday night.

Barba isn't as small as everyone makes him out to be 177cm maybe a little more and has a fair bit of size on him. He is about the same size as Billy Slater.

Speed !!!!!!!!!!

I'm pretty sure it's cocaine tbh.

Actually i think hes bigger than slater

 

[Gladiator.]

From what I've read on the player profiles, Barba around 177, Slater at 178, I don't know what Barba weighs in at now, but Slater is around the 87kg mark

 

[Paint.]

Pretty sure Barba's around 90kg.
Also interesting to see that Gallen's listed as 180cm... he's definitely shorter than that.

 

[Gladiator.]

Yes but Gallen is at least 3m wide lol.

X factor, we don't know exactly what it is but he has the ability to read the play and put his foot down, little man on big man he always wins, Dally M coming right up.

As the question asks, what is it specifically that makes him so freakish? Fookwork, speed and a great fend no doubt but sometimes you just can't explain to yourself how he does these things every week. ????

If you find out, don't tell the other NRL teams, let's be thankful he is in blue and white

barba is becoming the complete footballer, they have an aura about them, they have the uncanny ability to make breaks, save trys, be in the right spot at the right time, the reasons they cant tackle him is easy.

when barba makes a break for it, he is so good even the opposition players stop and watch how good he is, and forget to tackle him

They say pound for pound he is the strongest player in the side. Strength = power = speed, in saying this - that explains his ability to explode from a standing still point to his maximum speed with in meters which not many people can do.

 

[Stoofy]

It is obvious that he has speed, side steps, acceleration, imagination which define him as a player.

His biggest quality is he is always willing to back his own ability, take a chance & never say die attitude.

That try with Josh from his own goal line in Mackay is an example of this. Only elite players such as Slater can accomplish this.

Now opposition teams fear him!

 

[Captain Kickass]

Does anyone think "pound for pound" he's the strongest ?

 

[Talltimber]

What I like about him is he has lived up to and exceeded the hype around him from the last couple of years.
Also like the fact he does something exceptional every game and that he still has his best footy in front of him!

the next few years are going to be good times to be a Bulldogs fan!

Whatever it is , Hook us up !!!!!

 

[The.X.Factor]

I think it's because he is the strongest player at the Bulldogs(pound for pound).

You hear it here first.

There are other reasons such as skill, footwork and the rest of it that he has loads of also, combine all this with his explosive power off the mark and the ability to change direction in an instant and you have Ben Barba, im pretty sure he's only just under 90kg and pretty lean so at his height there will be plenty of power there.

Yeah, he's really fast and agile, but he's also pound for pound the strongest in the club. Amazing, right?

tbh i didnt hear rabs or gus. I was at work and it was on mute. Just saying it from what I've seen.

 

[Old Bulldog]

Natural athleticism. Speed, strength, vision and BALANCE.
