| Yeah, 99% of the rugby league community have misread the Doggies. They don't look enthusiastic and despite having a world class halfback in Kimmorley, they look lost. There is no direction. Ben Roberts is well below par and 2009 Rookie Of The Year Jamal Idris is a massive liability at the moment out wide. Teams will target he and Turner and there will be plenty of points leaked down their side.

| dally, by "tomane is another gi", do you mean he's another Inglis? If so, in what way? Certainly not in talent or potential. He's not and will never be half the player Inglis is. Very few players will ever get that close.
Inglis has been sh*t 2 weeks in a row now though The kent will only bother trying come Origin I bet.
Also, Barba is talented, but he's due destined for the scrapheap as far as i'm concerned. He's too small, and don't give me Langer and Toovey examples to counter that. They may as well stick with Roberts.
And B Moz is just getting better and better. He's a dead cert for NSW.

| What would the Cowboys do without Thurston? Led the comeback for the second week in a row and got them home this time. Scott Bolton is turning into a very good player.
Sharks just keep losing and Vatuvei now has 5 tries in 2 games already, the Sharks struggle for points and today was probably the highest they've got for a while with 16. I said last year that the likes of Covell and Pomeroy need to go and have a clearout but they've stuck with them and will finish last IMO. Luke Douglas could play for NSW this year.

Inglis has been sh*t 2 weeks in a row now though
hes big like inglis and hes making breaks at will
hes been massive in both their games
sure its early days but if he keeps it up hell be a big name
barba has been developing in lower level RL for a while
hes better than roberts.
both times hes been on in the newcastle and saints games hes made a difference

I didn't say the same of Thurston. I rated him highly coming off the Bulldogs bench. I certainly don't see that potential in Barba.

| Easy to write that now I guess, that being, "I didn't say the same of Thurston".
Each to their own. Again, how many games have you seen him play in order to make a sound judgement that "you certainly don't see that potential in Barba" or have him on the NRL scrapheap? Just curious.

Even easier to just generalise.

About 5 NRL games. Anybody who thinks he's destined to make it in the NRL must've seen much more of him, right?

I've seen him in approximately 33odd games I figure, the kid can play.
Thankfully better judges will allow more than 5 games to make their judgement and also ensure those games are more often than not as a starter given he plays in the halves. Are you a NSW selector by any chance?
