Message: [QUOTE="CaptainHook, post: 2606108, member: 8315"] The problem with Barba is that because of his immense talent, ability and potential he gets cut a bit more slack in the media, league circles and on this forum. A poor performance can be easily chalked up to his injury (which we really don't know the full extent of), still settling in, the coach, the game plan, etc. All those reasons(excuses) may have some merit but it's a real contrast to guys like Maranta and Copley (who are [I]easily[/I] having much better seasons yet get bagged from pillar to post if they under perform). Up until his shocker against Penrith he hasn't been criticised too much this year. On the other hand, a big play from him gets blown out of proportion. Personally, I feel he's been a real mixed bag this year. After nearly 20 rounds, I wasn't expecting his sublime form from 2012 which is almost impossible to replicate but I guess I was hoping for more from him than a few "nice touches" with the football here and there.
