Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2604088, member: 1899"] [b]Re: ben barba/josh hoffman[/b] And since this is a thread about Hoffman, I don't have any trouble with expressing my view that people scapegoat him and drag a lot of threads down with the same bile they've been producing since before a ball was even kicked this season... It loses it's meaning after the 127th post. Man, this hypothetical world where you and CaptainHook hang out where Jake Granville is an amazing hooker and Manly would have beaten us must be an amazing place. Let's forget all that and just base it on facts. Now maybe the footage on the ISC or the Channel 9 games have failed to show this but from what I've seen of Strasser, he's been in poor form and has been pretty lucky to avoid FOGs at times. I just don't think he's a first grade player, let alone a first grade half. Duncan is probably the best option at the moment, but it'd purely be short term and I have plenty question marks over him. Physically, is he up to first grade? Are his skills sharp enough yet? Is he willing to get more involved? Can he actually get more involved? etc. For what it's worth, despite Hoffman clearly being a poor choice at half, I've yet to hear anybody really put forward a strong case on Paia'Aua's case, even Garry when he had nothing to lose shy'd away from the topic and the mail is he's on the outer. Now, I believe more should have been done to promote him to the NRL and he should have played more ISC but I'm unsure about the Broncos relationship with the ISC. It seems to be a case of just giving them a taste for whatever reason. And that's the best option right there. From what I've seen or as far as I know, neither Hoffman or the depth options are the best option at this point. [/QUOTE]
