Regarding Hoffman, I would love to see a more effective option in the halves. However, a team isn't like a machine with directly interchangeable parts. Swapping one player for another has repercussions for combinations, defensive structures, tactics, etc. Like we saw with Granville replacing Macca, they may bring something new to the table but there may be side effects that outweigh the negatives. I do suspect there's also the solidarity /morale of the team as a factor. Despite his shortcomings, Hoffman is a long standing member of the team and likely has the support of his team mates. I'd rather the coach was prepared to make decisions for the greater good despite this, but it's likely a factor. All that said, I'd be ok with us giving someone like Nicholls a shot if he's even just serviceable. We really are suffering for want of some direction in the 6. [/QUOTE]
