Message: [QUOTE="Ari Gold, post: 2569202, member: 1917"] I think Hoffman is an abysmal five-eight, and the decision to play him there is even more ridiculous. With that said, I don't at all blame our management for not signing Widdop. He cost the Dragons like 500k, and only ever looked good playing off the big 3 of Slater, Cooper and Cronk. Plenty of other players have looked good with those 3 and absolutely sucked after leaving them (hello Adam Blair). I know I for one wouldn't want to tie up half a mil on a player in the situation Widdop was in. And as good as he was today, let us not forget it was against one of the wooden spoon favourites in the Tigers, who were without a few key players as well. I blame the club for our halves situation -- I cannot fathom, for instance, why we didn't go after a cheaper option that was looking for a start, like the returning Michael Dobson, or Chad Townsend etc. Cheap options who had something to prove. I won't criticize them though for not paying ridiculous amounts to Widdop, who frankly has proven nothing so far. You could have put Corey Norman against the Tigers today and he'd have looked good.
