Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2308972, member: 1899"] It wasn't that he just debuted at an earlier age. Hunt debuted and was an integral part of the side when he debuted. When Hoffman debuted, he had obvious defects in his game, that needed two years to sort out. Hoffman could've been there when Hunt went down with the season ending injury in 2007. Why wasn't he? Are you seriously comparing making the 1995 Origin series to the 2006 series? The coach didn't even know who Ikin was! Everybody knew who Karmichael was, and he had to fend off challenges from Bowen, Schifcofske and Slater to make it. Who did Ikin have to fend off to make that team? Coxy? Wrong. So were Slater's ability at Fullback. Thankfully the selectors came to their senses and picked the best man for the job at fullback to set a tone. Debatable. Hodges did cost us against the Dragons. Because Hunt suffered an injury in the 2nd clash against the Dragons (in the final minute) and Boyd wasn't cutting the mustard. When Hunt came back, he was still underdone and they shifted him onto the wing and Hodges form was rewarded. It was apart of it. The major part though was Berrigan in at hooker and the promotion of Sam Thaiday and Brad Thorn. Our forward pack became deadly and we were able to dominate games. Broncos had bugger all ball in that first half. When possession swung, the Broncos were able to win. That play by Hodges though..orgasmic. Why? I haven't seen too many players play like Hunt. He had some wonderful characteristics about him, some that cannot be taught. The thing is, Hunt was able to do that AND get a roll on for his team. I don't want to drag this further off-topic so I'll just sum up. Hoffman has been great over the past couple of weeks and I for one am happy to see him perform so well. However, I don't buy into the whole 'Karmichael Who' BS that comes out everytime somebody has a good game at fullback. It happened with Norman and it's happening again. [/QUOTE]
