Barba was not in the same ballpark that Thurston was. I remember watching Thurston come through the grades. Thurston had everything that he has today. Barba has speed and a step. that is all.
I go to the same gym as Ray Dib, and I overheard him mention the names Lima and Blair
Its a shame that Folkes is leaving you guys this year. I think that his game plan would really suit Kimmorley and that Kimmorley would shine under Folkes. Kimmorley's prob at the moment is that Stuart has him ball playing at the line with a flat attack, where I think Kimmorley is a better footballer when he is allowed to play before the line with a deep backline. This is something which Folkes encourages. Hopefully for you guys, the coach next year will employ a similar attacking style and I think if this is the case, Kimmorley will prove to be an astute purchase.
Kimmorley and Anderson INVENTED the flat attack, we have been trying to get that crap out of him for 7 years at Cronulla!
LoL @ you for thinking Ricky Stuart is telling noddy to play flat................
You are a Nuffy. Watch your own team. Your two biggest attacking weapons are Gallen and Bird and they are best used when they run off a ball player who goes to the line with them and hits them with a flat ball. Both are hole runners. Your next best attacking weapon is Kearney who lurks for offloads from Forwards ball playing after they hit the line. No way Ricky is telling your attack to get deep with your backline! You play deep when you have centres and Wingers that can score try's.
