Saw a tweet just before. Obviously Peachey is our best fullback but where would you put Will currently on that list?
Peachey was good very good but Barba would’ve had Peachey in his pocket

Peach had X factor but even in his little stint barba showed he had that plus more helped with the great cattle all around him.
Kennedy is what we currently have and I’m more than happy with it..

Im each way on this. Peachey was consistently better on average over the course of his career imo, he kept that high level of play for longer. But Barba had a better year in 2016 then any of Peach’s seasons (plus he has the premiership Peach couldnt get), Barba couldnt really do it over the course of his career though for off field reasons. Depends how you look at it really.

Regardless, we were lucky to have both.

That's an interesting question for an old fart like me.

He's not in the same league as Peachey or Barba.

Will has similar skill to Docking, but nowhere near the heart - yet?

I'd love to hear Sir Chadley's comments on this...

I think Will has more skill than Jono but Jono had a massive heart.

P.S I know I'm not @Sir Chadley but I speak more sense....

Hard to compare them all but you couldn’t beat Peachey for excitement. When he got the ball it was a bit like back in the 70s with Steve Rogers, you just knew something was going to happen.

Barba was brilliant obviously but they were different players. Barba normally set you up or someone set him up, Peachey did it all on his own.

Docking like everyone said was all heart and one tough bugger.

My pick would be Peachey above them all.

True

But If I’m picking a team today - Barba is my fullback

Love the peach no slight on him just that Barba was extra special and we were lucky to have both
