Marmin Barba

[roostersrule2]

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.

You simply won't know either way until he gets a crack.

Have a cry man.

Every skinny little indigenous player trying to make the grade has always copped the same JC...

I don't think Marmin should be concerned... If he is talented and committed enough he will do fine.

Sorry fellas, with respect to everyones opinion on the matter - for which I have a great respect for - I gotta say it's a definite no from 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

Why is Green our biggest loss? Because his team with possibly the worlds greatest ever player won them the grand final?!
What a stupid comment. Robbo also won a grand final. Remember?!

We are all entitled to our own opinions just like you. This is in open forum to express ourselves not to be attacked because we differ from you. If the guy makes it, great. If not he had his third chance.

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.

Apparently the only reason he was playing for Ipswich and Nikorima on the bench has everything to do with him signing with Manly.

Well done Bennett.

Another great call that may have cost you the GF.

Not sure if that's directed at me as it was posted directly after my post, but I never said that he wouldn't make it in the nrl. I said we don't need another outside back as we already have plenty. Elliot, burgess, Mitchell and nikorima potentially fighting for the same position. That's before taking the possibility of aubusson shifting out wide into account. Unlikely but possible.

Like all Barba's this one should open a shop and cut dudes hair.. And forget about playing NRL!

Because I think he, Green, is an outstanding coach, and I believe he brought a lot to the table for us, and in comparison a lot more than what he was replaced with. Makes him a loss, and in my opinion a big loss. I think his coaching style added dimensions to robbo's style. I watched a lot of his work closely when he was at Wynnum in QLD cup and what he does with players like Granville and Asiata is typical green coaching and man management.

Thanks for the feedback though and the insight you provide with your comments.

I think Robbo helped Green more then Green helped Robbo.

Seen him play, and he won't cut the mustard in the NRL. He is also a loose cannon. After he scored a try yesterday, he pushed away his teammates. Won't fit in with the culture at the Roosters.

I take nothing away from robbo at all-wouldn't want any other coach in nrl. But I wouldn't say that at all about robbo helping green more over. Am sure they both learnt lots from each other - no doubt. Greens apprenticeship is just as impressive as robbo's imo.

With Paul Green as the assistant coach which is the point that was clearly missed by yourself.
