Im just saying you cant argue Barnes is 'x amount better' based on a RC game and then compare it to Quade performance in the RWC Semi..
Barnes never started in the RWC Semi-final so we will never know how he would have performed..
Agree, as I've said several times I prefer Quade and Barnes to play together at international level as between them we get what we need in total.
I was making the point that cooper got what he asked for in the extra attention and "public enemy number 1" crap. He bathed in it and found it funny then failed to live up to the hype. Not just nthe semi but the entire RWC for mine. It's fine to say the guy has xfactor and he does,he is wonderful for Qld and when he has space. Against he all blacks
From now to the end of time though, he is going to get smashed. They hate him and celebrate his failure and will get a lift out of him playing. I'm not sure we are are smart enough or well balanced team to take that pressure off him and allow him the time and extra space to create anything.
