Message: [QUOTE="Jason Simmons, post: 2878104, member: 8275"] The only thing Hoggman knew how to do as a 5/8 was run (because all he is at best is a winger and everyone in the world knew it, except Hoggman and Hook) but as we still used the big attacking play to the left mostly, his main contribution was to step back right into sliding defenders, despite setting up for a play to the left and then the attacking play would completely break down. All friggin season long he did it, until even Hook realising belatedly that this rubbish was threatening his very employment finally 'hooked' him and put Barba there who did moderately well (and infinitely better than Hoggman) in that role, but it was too little, too late by then. Our other attacking 'play' was 5 one out hitups with a small pack, except for that one season with Martin 'the pillow' Kennedy who had size but the heart of a terrified mouse and a workrate that made David Taylor look like Paul Gallen, where Wallace would do a cross field kick on the last tackle to the right wing, looking for Yow Yeh. Until of course (sigh...) Yow Yeh left the game and then it was looking for Maranta or whoever was there instead. Needless to say the 'brilliance' of these plays was not reflected in points or in contributing much to wins and the rest is history... Fans could tell, set after set EXACTLY what we were going to do. Opposition coaches must have been laughing their arses off at it. [/QUOTE]
