Gordon/Barba/Holmes

[Craigshark]

Waste of a bench player. Could have used an extra forward tonight.

There isn't enough room for all three in the team. Either leave Gordon at fullback and drop Barba.

Throw Gordon in the centres?

Or drop Gordon.

When Fifita and Gallen come back there isn't enough room to carry a back on the bench.

Good win though. Up the Sharkies!

Gordon is injured too apparanyly

 

[millersnose]

I don't mind the experimenting

It's confusing as f**k to watch but I understand he wants to give all three game time

 

[shadowboxer]

Shame...I like the Gordon/Holmes combo. Say what you want about Gordon but he has just gotten on with it regardless of the Holmes factor and the two chime in and out well together.

I agree. But where does that leave Barba?

 

[bad boy bubby]

Barba was safe as in that second half, i think he had one little knock back. I have to admit I dont always feel too safe with Flash at the back these days.
In any case it is working

 

[southland]

Impractical as hell but I actually like having three fullbacks. Gordon on wing ( as long as he is not keeping Gagan out) Holmes fb and Barba the super sub. Other teams are not used to us having multiple attacking options.

Robo is correct according to Flanno, when interviewed on MMM he mentioned Gordon carrying a shoulder injury, so perhaps rather than just wanting all 3 to get game time we have concerns about Gordon and Barba putting in a full 80 solo.

Apparently Gordon also has a burst ear drum or something similar.

Wouldn't mind seeing all 3 on the field at the expense of Beale. By the time his little hop and skip move was complete he was flat on his back with 3 defenders on him. Just f**king run!

This!!

 

[THE MESSIAH !!!]

Beale makes tackling easy, he offers nothing in attack.

I know Sami is injured in NSW Cup but when he is fit must be better option, or the one love to see is Gagan when returns from injury

 

[txta2]

Barba has to be the biggest cat in the NRL.

 

[THE MESSIAH !!!]

Barba has to be the biggest cat in the NRL.

He has had 2 games back, both in conditions not really suited to him, lets give him till mid season

 

[Mr Angry]

Yep I still am yet to see anything from Beale.

With Gordon out, would start Barba on the wing and have him swap with Valentine.

 

[glenmoresharkie]

If it aint broke......

 

[Mr Angry]

Just watching the replay.

Gordon comes off after Souths first try.

Barba played the rest of the game @ fullback

Gordon may be broken.

Would not surprise to see Brown come up and Barba stay on the bench

 

[Surely]

Gordon is much better than barba

 

[Mr Angry]

Not if injuried

 

[island pro]

Gordon is much better than barba

And Holmes better than both... taking into account only recent history.

Barba to NSW cup imo. If Holmes is injured then I guess he can do the swapsy with Holmes throughout the game.
