Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2658955, member: 8215"] Barba was very ordinary under the high ball, in fact there were a lot of people here (myself included) saying that he was the prime reason we lost the unlosable game against the Sharks. And contributed greatly to other games where we cracked under the pressure of repeat sets with his inability to diffuse bombs. Regardless, It is [I]my opinion[/I] that Barba was moved from fullback because of his frailties under the high ball. You can disagree with the point about him losing games, that's fine, but I clearly said earlier that it was a combination of his form at fullback and Hoffman's at five-eighth that resulted in them both having their opportunities in those positions cut short. The point still stands that Barba was not moved to 5/8 as a permanent switch, so him being given limited games there is not comparable to the time that Milford should be given in the position.
