Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2444839, member: 1847"] Don't know if I agree with you 100% but yes to Hoffman. For him to be a game breaker means doing what he's not: running the ball AND looking for a support player AND passing AND following in support: Hunting for the ball consistently behind the line; proper timing for the 2nd man play. Slater, Barba, Inglis, Stewart - they do this, and they are game breakers, but also because of their instincts to do those things and more. Hoffman has on rare occasions done these things consistently but I am not seeing any real instinct to "game break". With the others, I think that Parker can be a game breaker IF there was enough, if any, support and a structure of some sort to take advantage of his many offloads. Gillett, well, he's partly down on confidence and therefore form, but then, this team doesn't know how to use skills to advantage. Thaiday, well if he's carrying injuries sufficient to reduce his impact, them should he be playing? But yes, he has shown he can be a game breaker ... when he was fully fit. For mine, being a game breaker is some who is given an opportunity as much as looking for one. At the moment, we are giving ours few opportunities, and without support, and with a loss of confidence, it makes it hard to do it. If miracles happen, I would have any of: Thurston, DCE, Cronk, Foran, Johnson. Just one of those players would make a lot more happen to this roster. Our halves are either still figuring it all out, or they have become crap. I'd want another half if one was on the market [/QUOTE]
