How many tries will Barba score off Hunt in 2014?

I don't think Hunt will have that many assists for Barba next year, however I do see 10+ line break assists for Glenn with Barba speeding up in support to finish.
 
He'll bag a few off his own line breaks, but he might not even be playing fullback if we don't get Milford.

Oh if only Hook would learn from Bellamy how to use a FB

Nevertheless, I see a lot of tries from Barba trailing Parker and the entire pack if Hook wakes up and coaches a passing game for our forwards. Barba is the ideal player for that, as well as those little outside-inside plays which Hook should have Thaiday working on a lot as he does it so well
 
We've got a LOT of players capable of sticking heads through / offloading:
Parker, Hannant, McGuire, Glenn and Gillette come to mind from our forward pack.

Ben Hunt has definitely stuck his head through a few times and I think Barba hunting those short grubbers is going to bring a LOT of points / restarts next year. LOVE how Hunt takes on the line.

Reed, Hodges when fit...**** I can't wait to see Barba backing up Hodges... *drool*


Basically our whole team is capable of opening gaps and realistically have been for most of the year despite the other problems: we simply haven't had the backup play OR the speed to take advantage of those gaps. Shit, Prince hit a gap and took off for 50-odd metres lastnight in his 300th game, surrounded by a dozen blue and white jerseys, with Maranta a good 10m behind as the ONLY Bronco in view!! It was fucking pathetic!!

Add a Barba and hopefully a Milford, and put a solid emphasis on leaning out a bit for speed and stamina (oh please, coaching staff PLEASE) and we could be absolutely carving teams up...
 
If Hunt continues to improve and can learn to play 80 minutes we should see the Hunt/Barba combo do well. I expect plenty of cheeky grubbers from Macca and Hunt for Barba. Hunt loves a chip kick so Barba will be up for that as well.
 
Didn't we have a mountain of tackle breaks and line breaks this year despite our poor form? Seeing Barba supporting (and hopefully Milford) will be great.
 
Barba isn't going to solve all our problems.

Copley will though.
 
Copley's going to move the entire line up in defense and help Gillett and Hunt with their missed tackles?
 
Out ball in ball - Hunt - Thaiday - Barba. All day baby.

Glenn and Gillett busting the line arms free to Barba and Milford in broken second phase play.

Hunt short trajectory bombs to Oates and Reed (white men can jump).

Second man play - McCullough to Hunt, to Barba, perfectly timed cut out to Hoffman on the right wing, scores 9/10 when Maranta scores 1/10 in the same space.

Bring it on
