ben barba was bron in darwin, played jersey fleg in nsw, played under 20's in nsw, played in the nsw cup...yep he's another QLD alright!!! someone really needs to look into this epidemic....for every young nsw player that emerges, another 5 qld players seem to pop up....doesn't make sense to me....they must be getting to these poor blokes at a really early age when they're so easily persuaded to pledge their alliances, at a time when they probabaly don't even think they'll crack first grade, it's sad really, the kind of tactics those toads resort to win "origin". We should probably change the name to state of preference or state of persuation from now on

He's a Queenslander and has a long contract. I think we need a defensive fullback more than an attacking fullback in my opinion.

Mini was an attacking winger and took sometime to improve on his defense. He was shyte but he improved. I'm sure Barba, if he stays at fullback, he'll improve even though he is going well at the moment

"State of persuasion".....that's a good one, got a good laugh!

When does Bellamy's contract end???

I also thought that Hayne looked a little Japanese. He looked like he just stepped out of The Mikado with mascara on.

Ben Barba's try has to be seen to be believed. Freakish. Mid air, taken corner post out, and still gets to ball to brush the tips of the grass just before going out. Some blokes just know how to get to the line.

BJ will be our next fullback, great under the high ball, and imagine his kick returns witha head of steam.

Hayne was punished enough by the right hook to the head.

It was refreshing seeing the players mix it up a bit.

The Hindmarsh reaction and subsequent press conference was a cracker.

definitely seems like he's being groomed for the role.. but jeez i think its so necessary to have a fast fullback and one that can involve himself with play-making

Isn't he a bit too big for the role??? It's like having Vatuvei at fullback.. I don't see it happening..

Great under the high ball? Really?

LOL Go Hindy, he looked so pissed off in the press conference should have knocked PEnnis's head off when he had the chance
