Apparently winner Q Cups version of Dally M
Made QLD Residents team in 2014
Kicks 40/20s , tackles well , kicks goals .
Great short passing game
Be great if he developed a long bullet passing game.

Yeah. He's got a few nice little moves in there, but I don't know, he doesn't look like first grade material to me. He looks a little slow and doesn't seem to have the bullet pass, as you pointed out.

It's hard to tell from highlight videos though.

If he's got a long kicking game it's probably not going to show up too many times on a highlights vid.

Prove me wrong please.:hoping

Another one from the article

Orr - "he (Barba) has not spoken to anyone"

In other words "But I have".

Gowy - You said it's a done deal .
Are you still Sure or is ORR trying to milk a little more ?

if you havent learnt by now mate, listen up now. Nobody on this forum will ever take your word as gospel. You have zero credibility. You have only ever regurgitated the same rumours that the twitter universe has to offer. Guess what, Mole reports every rumour he hears, whether its from reliable or unknown sources. Why? So if any of them come to light he can claim he had the scoop. You are no different. You dont have a scoop. The info you have can be found in 2 seconds on google. Delete your account, and maybe even your twitter account. And throw your computer in the river please.

I agree I'd love to see Brown giving a shot there with Barba (I doubt Flanno would though) - only question mark is the kicking game - I don't really remember Barba being a kicker and Brown is still developing his kick.

I agree Robbo"s Kicking is still not really creative particularly when we are attacking the oppo line , would also love to see us winning more repeat sets.

Would not like to see us pay big bucks for Barba in case he does not fire, his D is fairly suss. Can't see him staying at the Boncos given they have now got Millford and he is Mr Attack.

I find it strange when people want to be "closer to family" in Queensland, but they will go to either NQLD or Brisbane. If the family is in Brisbane, Townsville is actually further away than Sydney...

I'd be surprised if.any less than half the comp haven't spoken to Orr about Barba. He's elite and one of the most marketable players in the comp.

We'll be doing brilliantly to get on the shortlist.

I still have queries about whether he'll move away from his family. I know most are cynical about why he moved to Brisbane but I think there's a lot of truth in him wanting to be near his daughters. Again, we'll be doing amazingly well to resolve that conundrum.

Some challenges for the Board and senior staff at the moment. Big kudos if they can get the right outcomes.

I agree, Robbo's Kicking is still not really top notch or creative particularly when we are attacking the oppo line , would also love to see us winning more repeat sets.

Hope we don't pay big bucks for Barba if we get him in case he does not fire it's been a few years since he has, also think his D is a bit suss. However can't see him staying at the Boncos given they have now got Millford and he is Mr Attack.

For the right price he could be a good get depending what other Half 5/8 we may be talking to. Would still love to see NU Brown given a good crack at it.
