Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2599686, member: 1847"] Hoffman did make some excellent and important tackles, and I suspect that is one of the reasons behind Hook's motivation in putting him at 5/8. Having him on the right side is for mine, a HUGE no-no. Hoffman is not a natural ball player, he doesn't have a half's instincts, and his passing game is rudimentary at best. He looks awkward a lot when he passes. Gillett and Hodges need a real play maker who knows how to pass, feint, accelerate: set up a play (sadly still way not enough on the right) and put a runner through a hole after exploiting a weakness in defence to create the hole. Hoffman can't do that. He doesn't think, he reacts. He is a finisher end of story. His left foot kicks also imo are better served on the left hand side. Better still, Hoffman should be on the wing where he has proved his worth as a fine try scoring winger and good defender, and for mine, better still, at FB with Barba at 5/8. [/QUOTE]
