Message: [QUOTE="bazza, post: 2540137, member: 8440"] Yes, it may not be an indication of what you can, and can't do, however, he has never been given the opportunity to play in his preferred position. He put his hand up after the retirement of Locky, however in 2012 was kept at fullback, with Norman at five-eighth. Then constantly pushed around from fullback to wing, to centre, and back to fullback in 2013. In terms of our most deadly players, I probably worded it incorrectly, what I meant was our most dangerous try scoring options, which would be our rather strong back line. As for setting up the tries, that is mostly for Ben Hunt to do until Hoffman starts backing his ability and adjusting to the five-eight position. The role I meant for Hoffman would be more so a running five-eighth (eg John Sutton), who still would have the ability to link with the fullback or outside runners if there's space out wide. Although I do agree the "Modern Day" fullback is seen as a second five-eighth, however every teams attack is becoming almost identical with the sweeping fullback play, it is becoming too predictable. We all witnessed the repetitive, predictable sweeping play from Norman, which was easily defended without creating much of a threat, which resulted in moving too laterally, from side to side, rather than forward. However if the Broncos went away from that and developed their own “Old School” style of football, where they played, unpredictable footy through the middle third of the field, instead of copying the style of many of the other teams, with sweeping fullback plays each set. Instead we should target the bigger, tired forwards with the likes of Gillett, Glenn, Hunt, Barba and Hoffman by constantly changing the angle of the play, hitting holes, and turning the opposition big men inside out, and once the opposition is on the back foot, then shifting the attack wide, to our backline players. This unpredictability and playing what's in front of you, will create headaches for the opposition, and hence misreads in defence, with plenty of linebreaks and broken field play in which the Broncos will thrive in.
