Round 1 2014

[Allo]

Apparently the Roar have a game at Suncorp that weekend so we will have to play round 1 at Canterbury

Nah it's the Reds v Cheetahs I read

Nah it's the Reds v Cheetahs I read

Yeah something like that. When was the last time we played the first game at somewhere other than Suncorp?

 

[Rhys van Beurden]

2012. We played the Eels In Parramatta. Round 2 we played the Cowboys at home.

 

[noisetheory]

i dont really care if round 1 is not at home but yow yehs first game back should be at suncorp. so if he's fit in rnd 1 well they're just going to have to get the roar to play at... well i don't care where.

What?

 

[Danoz Direct]

Barba needs to stay at fullback.

 

[Brett]

Barba needs to stay at fullback.

Why? I think he'll be named 5/8. He was quoted as saying in the paper today he'd play 5/8 if the team needed. I've always maintained it's not a terrible idea. Infact, if we got Milford, it'd be perfect...

1. Milford

[Danoz Direct]

No I think Milford is a better half than Barba it should be

1. Barba

6. Milford

7. Hunt

 

[Sproj]

Barba and Milford are essentially the same player.

 

[Danoz Direct]

But have been watching some games of Milford in the halves and he is a more natural half than fullback, he has good kicking and passing skills and has kicked a 40/20.

 

[Socnorb]

Barba and Milford are essentially the same player.

They do seem interchangeable. Having said that I've never seen them together at any time.

 

[Unbreakable]

Barba and Milford are essentially the same player.

I get the same impression, I think Milford has a much better skill set for being a Half though, whilst Barba looks safer under the high ball etc.

It'd be rather silly to play Milford at Fullback and Barba at Five-Eighth (If we got both)

 

[Kimlo]

Barba fullback where he belongs and Milford at 5/8. I'm not against Barba at 5/8 but if we have Milford he doesn't need to play there.

 

[Foordy]

If we don't get Milford, I'm all for giving Barba a shot at 5/8 and see how it goes.

 

[Danoz Direct]

What's everyone's opinion of who should play

1.

6.

7.

 

[Charmamba]

1. Barba
6. Barba
7. Hunt

hell sign Khunt and let's go

1. Barba
6. Barba
7. Hunt
9. Hunt

 

[Broncoman]

Does Josh McGuire remind anyone of Shane Webcke?. He is a big and strong front-rower with an intimidating figure made for Rugby League and always seems to hit the line hard.

 

[Lockyfan05]

Yeah he sure does. His aggressiveness, enthusiasm in every hit-up, he could be a real Webcke for us
