Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3186816, member: 1899"] It's difficult to say if Barba would have been the player he was at Cronulla. I think he benefitted from their system and all the different points of attack they had. Usually, the media likes to represent the playmakers in a team by their spine but with the Sharks you have to include 3. Jack Bird 8. Andrew Fifita 11. Luke Lewis 12. Wade Graham 13. Paul Gallen. I just think it was a smart move from Barba to go to Cronulla. It was the right move and after overcoming an ankle injury and working hard in the pre-season and got the rewards. It still wasn't a patch on his 2011-2012 form and it's a shame because he was a great player to watch. When he was at the Broncos, Hook tried to make him play like Darius Boyd and it just didn't work. His game actually improved when he went to 6 because he wasn't so reliant on Hunt and Hoffman feeding him good ball. This was especially true when he had Hodges out the back so he had a great decoy to work off of. [/QUOTE]
