Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2597476, member: 1847"] I think you neglect that Barba's role coming forward behind and into the line to compensate for the lack of a real 5/8 was in my view, also part of Hook's plan, to change Barba's game from mainly running the ball to being also more a play maker. Hunt's "fading out in patches" might also have something to do with the rather radical change of role and minutes played, and I still think that the pressure on Hunt to "take control of an entire team" is a 2 edged sword. It has its positives, but also places extra pressure on Barba and Hunt. Fortunately, both look they are stepping up to the challenge better than expected. As well, I am unsure that Hunt is that much of an organizer (yet) that he actually takes control of the whole team. I think there's a role for Macca and setting up the forwards who also have stated to pass the ball a lot more, and, there is always the leadership role taken by Parker and Hodges. [/QUOTE]
