With Boyd and Slater both seemingly injured and off the pace, and Barba absolutely killing it in the super league (he is the best player in the competition by a country mile), do you reckon he comes into consideration for Aussie fullback at all?
I would guess no. We generally don't select "barbarians" (with the big Darren Smith exception, I assume we've all heard of that f**ker), and it is a lesser comp he is shining in, and he probably doesn't meet Saint Mal's required levels of "adultness".
So I guess Slater will make it, or Tedesco (who is also not going brilliantly). But Barba is seriously better than these guys at the moment.
