He doesn't have the size of teddy or Turbo. If he would support better through the middle he would have a lot of similarities to Ben Barba
Don’t even go there..

Come on, Barba was one of a kind - I can’t remember a weakness, he had everything and he saved a lot of tries and his running game was literally unmatched

The styles aren't mutually exclusive. No reason Kennedy can't be following a forward on a hit up inside our half, and sticking to the edges in the opposition half.
Exactly

I can think of a few habits that hasn't helped.

The year we won Barba featured in nearly most of our Tries. He was unbelievable in terms of tries and assists.

Talakai for me is a 500k player. Anything over that just isn’t right IMO. Nikora should not of been offered 550k, that is overs i believe.
Yep, at agree 550k seems overs. Who would you rather? Victor the Inflictor for 525k or Britton the Oven Mitten for 550k?

Different roles and I'm not gonna argue something I don't know (their prices) but unfortunately I think Radley is too tough for today's game.

I would be absolutely shocked if any player could play more than a handful NRL games at fullback if they were not adept at talking and organising the defence. It’s their primary job.
Absolutely. You don't end up with one of the best defences in the comp with a fullback that can't call numbers.
