Reading between the lines you'd suspect the roosters may have come to terms with the kid from the sharks hence looking to offload Graham?

which kid mate? Ferguson?...

he's going to Canberra mate.

I think the roosters issues is having to accomodate some major upgrade, they've had several players make their fg debuts this year..

well I think there's still quite alot of holes to fill in the squad and I believe that they want 2 outside backs and a half...

Yeah well I hear we will need a centre pretty much for the first half of the year, if the whispers I heard Saturday are on the Money. Other wise that is a big hole.

So for these 'depth' positions;

1. Two wingers-Phil Graham and Jordan Atkins, presumably to cover for Inu and Wright.

2. Halfbacks-Cameron Bruest for NYC, Grant Rovelli for NSW Cup, Marmin Barba is a fullback primarily but *can* play halfback for NYC, and Brad Murray for first-grade.

This has probably been answered already, but is Barba related to Ben Barba from the dogs? And if he is, is he also an 'X-factor'? Or did he inherit the crap genes?

Anasta would be really good

hell, Grant Rovelli may even be worth a try.....

Phil Graham is needed now by the sound of the Reddy news

He is the youngest out of all the Barba brothers (which means yes, he is Ben's younger brother)...and I'm probably putting the mockers on him but he is apparently every bit as talented as Ben is.

There is a video of him scoring a 100m try on youtube, although the quality is just short of terrible.

Good to hear, it might be immature arrogance, but i'd like to think we have the better Barba than the dogs.

To answer your question, I have personally heard off avid Bulldogs fans that Marmin has even more potential and talent than brother Ben. Make of that what you will.....
Marmin is insanely talented, like Ben, and AFAIK they play similar positions....Marmin plays fullback but is also a utility, and even a halfback (preferred is fullback).
