Message: [QUOTE="GCBRONCO, post: 2652020, member: 1808"] That's where my problem lies with the criticism of the bulking program, admittingly it wasn't optimal for Barba but if the long term plan was for him to play 5/8th under Griffin he would have needed to, it's hard to say cause he started at fullback but was eventually moved to 5/8th, I felt that move was too little too late confidence wise. At times I felt it was used as too easily a convenient excuse to hide aspects of his game that he was clearly struggling with that you couldn't excuse or link to the weight program. I think his problems run deeper then just fitness. I didn't think of it as a dig at Bennett at all foordy its definitely apart of the clubs system, but fullbacks who make the move to 5/8th generally(not always) have to bulk up, Lockyer did. Some can make the adjustment others can't, its far far too early to tell what effect it will have on him, but where he is at with hindsight comparing to where Barba has been at in the past two seasons both on and off the field, I'd back Milford to do better. Barba can still find that 2012 form, but it's going to take more then fitness to do so. [/QUOTE]
