Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2540957, member: 8215"] Just putting it out there, but is Hoffman a victim of the fact that our halves suck? I mean, yeah, you could argue that Lockyer could make any fullback look good, but are we using Barba's ball-playing skills to counter-act that we [I]still [/I]don't have a decent halves pairing? A couple of examples. Warriors with Johnson & Maloney = Locke looks awesome. Maloney swapped for an old has-been = Locke looks way off & they chase the pom. Rooters - Pearce (yeah, ew) + Carney = Mini looks great. Pearce + Anasta = Mini looks too old. Pearce + Maloney = Mini is a premiership-winning fullback. Lockyer + Wallace = Hoffman is our best back. Wallace + Norman = Hoffman is useless. Wallace + Prince = Hoffman is the talk of the town. The counter-argument is that if there's nothing you can do about your halves (yet, anyway) then if you can compensate at fullback it's a good strategy. But you have to feel sorry, at least a little, that Hoffman loses his spot because the club can't find a decent half. [/QUOTE]
