Where now for Barba ?

[Bastard Squad]

5/8 is out, fullback with Holmes & Gordo swapping seems to work. Wouldn't replace Feki.

Do we put him at centre in place of Beale or Leutele ?

Or on the bench as a utility ?

 

[THE MESSIAH !!!]

Barba last played centre 5 years ago.

On Bench could be good option, as Ennis seems to pick up odd injury.

The other position wing, get him to play like Blacklock did roving commission

Super League.

Centers

 

[coolumsharkie]

Hmmm.. Loots got turned around a bit today, he's too small for modern day centre imo.

Jets.

 

[Card Shark]

Centers

Yes

Imagine him running off Bird's 1/2 breaks.

 

[Born BB&W]

Bench utility

 

[Born BB&W]

Or > Sell

 

[millersnose]

Well yeah but he is a very good attacking talent and our current Centers are ...well let's face it fringe at best and unlikely to make many 1st grade squads in the nrl

 

[Inferno]

Centre. Prefer to keep leutele, but not fussed.

 

[Card Shark]

Barba is not a playmaker, he's a ball runner.

Put him where he can run the ball in a bit of space.

 

[Surely]

He can play 5/8 and bird center numbers on a jumper dont mean much and nothing stopping them playing him on one side and the half and two centers on the other

 

[PHaTMaN]

Barba to halfback and Robson to the bench.

 

[Weaponhead]

Agree. Barba needs a confidence injection. Playing off Bird will help.

 

[bad boy bubby]

I'm with the "Bench Utility Group"

 

[THE MESSIAH !!!]

Barba to halfback and Robson to the bench.

Reverse that, you can bring Barba on when defense starts to weaken, you also have option for coverage on Ennis should he go down

 

[Surely]

In with the f**k Beale and leutele off group

Bird or barba to center feki to center gagan on wing, if he's not injured.

 

[--Storm--]

He has to go to fullback, Gordon is crap should go to wing and Holmes can stick on the wing.

Except you can't have three wingers, no way they will drop Feki. Holmes played FB 70% of the game with Gordon and it worked well.
