We've known for long Ben Barba has been regarded as one of the game's most lethal attackers - and here's the numbers to prove it!
Barba's three assists for the Holmes, Bird and Feki tries came from a total of his 22 passes in the Sharks clash with the Roosters. That equates to a try assist near on every seven passes.
Barba's 12 try assists this season have come from a total of 248 passes, and ranks him 9th overall for most assists.
However, his season average of a try assist every 21 passes is better than that of the 8 players with more try-aiding efforts.
Although more known for his dangerous ball running, Ben Barba’s strike rate when passing makes him just as damaging as the game's best fullbacks - if not the most.
