Ben Barba...the next slater?

[Fire]

When both their career's are over it will be Barba > Slater.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Origin 3 proved Greg Inglis is the next Billy Slater.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Ben Barba is the next Matt Bowen

 

[Pugzley]

Barba's shepards and obstructions are as grubby as Slater's

 

[Tiger-Sean]

Great runner of the ball but needs to develop a passing game to take him to the next level.

I'm assuming you haven't been watching Barba play the last couple of months...
His passing has been first class

 

[Bro Bear]

These days without the Mighty Bears in the NRL I enjoyed watching Souths and certain players. Ben Barba is one of the players I enjoy watching. If CQLD get admitted they should go all out to sign one of their own back.

Played Hoffman out of the No1 Kiwi jesey for me. Great to see competition for places in Kiwi side.

Hes Australian, was 18th man for the Maroons

Yep. Inglis, was superb. He'd have to be next in line for Maroons and Kangaroos fullback.

Last season I would have said Locke has better hands than Slater.

Yeh small prob I made this thread three months ago

Phail

For such a little bloke he breaks a lot of tackle. Class player!

 

[natheel]

He's a very good player, Fast and has a good passing game although. Watching him against us. His passing game from right to left is 100 times stranger than his passing game from left to right. Inu had to slow down when barba threw it to him to try and set up a similar player to how he does on Morris' side.

He is also suspect under the high ball when under pressure. Like Slater. Put pressure on them and they can buckle. Not taking away from the fact they are good players just pointing out they have weakness' that teams need to pick out and use it to their advantage. If teams can shut that Morr's/Barba/Pritchard decoy play then thats their main try scoring play gone. Their other tries last night came off kicks. Apart from J. Reynolds.

What a dumb statement. Out of 6 tries one came off an attacking kick. If your counting the Barba try you're stretching the term "try off a kick" way too much.

It's like me saying Parramattas attack had nothing because both their tries were off kicks and ignoring all the lead up play to those kicks.

 

[MikePatton]

Lol.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

I'll take the bad 5%

He's a f**kin freak

 

[Moffo]

Agree. Suck it haterz

 

[Doga]

Lol.

Blew your load a little early there sport.

 

[hellteam]

How good is he. I don't even hate the bulldogs this year because of him

 

[Pig Mouth]

Is he a QLDer or that other filth?

 

[Usain Bolt]

FMD every young superstar in the NRL seems to be either a QLDer or a Kiwi apart from Tariq Sims.. The Reynolds boys could be on the verge of something special though if they continue to play how they are
