Marmin Barba

[John Corey]

Read on Twitter from a reporter that we are about to sign this kid. Playing for Ipswich in the GF today. Super quick winger/fullback.
Anyone heard any more?

Is he related to Ben "Ali" Barba

[2026]

I like Parcell.

[roostersrule2]

He's Ben's brother.

He's a QLD Cup star, but I doubt he'd do much in the NRL.

Parcell is going to Manly.

He plays in a system at Ipswich which is made for him. I think it's 31 trys in 24 games. In saying that, if he doesn't get the opportunity, we will never know.

A very fast oxygen thief.

I watched the Ipswich experiment with interest today, just to see this so called amazing method of playing the game. I can see it working in the second tier level, but the side doing it at NRL level would get flogged,

[<ME>]

Marlin Barba would get canned at nrl level. Can not tackle to save himself.

All the good judges said the same thing about the jets plan at Q cup level- it wouldn't work. Newcastle were the team who it would have suited best, and they weren't brave enough to give it a go. Would have been perfect, including for the Newcastle fans.

Biggest loss last few years - Paul Green

From memory Marmin played U20's for Parra but that was cut short due to serious ill health.

[Bigchook]

We don't need another outside back.

[Roosterfarian]

So we don't need a fullback you say?

[Kelby]

Would do well in a Wyong jumper, but that would be it.

[Bigchook]

So we don't need a fullback you say?

No I don't believe we do. We've signed latrell for four years. If you're good enough you're old enough and he's good enough.

[Bigchook]

And marmin barber is certainly not in the top 4 or 5 options we would have in any backline configuration.

It simply amazes me the amount of experts on here that have already said this guy can't make it in the NRL. You are guessing. Nothing more. Tell me what you base your expert analysis on? It can't be from constantly watching him play, unless of course you follow the Ipswich Jets to their home and away games. As they were lucky to make the Tele game once every 6 weeks.
Experts everywhere.
You simply won't know either way until he gets a crack.
