Message: [QUOTE="ethos, post: 2430776, member: 1784"] Thought that about Hoffman for a while now, pretty sure I've posted about it at some point. He's absolutely hopeless at a second man play and any sort of ball playing. The one strength in his attacking game is his running, which will only come to the fore on kick returns and if he's put into a hole by a playmaker or via an offload. At the moment the latter two aren't happening at all - so, currently, the only time he's dangerous is when he's returning a kick which is not good enough. When you look at some of the other top fullbacks in the League - they all have many strings to their bow. Hoffman is very one dimensional at the moment. In saying that though, Slater was sort of the same when he first came into the NRL. Was a brilliant runner of the ball but not much else. Over time he developed ball playing skills (great coaching!) and is now the best in the business. I trust (?) the Broncos staff are working with him to (a) improve his ball playing and (b) create plays so the team can better utilise his running game. If they're not, they bloody well should be.
