I can only surmise that they are trying to teach him a lesson on how to be a better backman or our defensive coach is being constantly outcoached.
He should never have been on Chapman nor minding Cotchin, he should have been up the ground providing run through the middle and passing to leading forwards.
I am slightly concerned that Barker now thinks he is a chance to get the gig and is thinking more about that than his original philosophy. We were back to numbers behind the ball bomb it long into the forward line and watch it rebound out.
Dropping Rowe, as it turned out was a massive mistake and whilst no-one could forsee the injury to Jamison it left us with few big forward or defence options.
It was a massive mistake regardless of Jamison's injury - unless we're tanking :
