Message: [QUOTE="ethos, post: 2437424, member: 1784"] Well for starters I said critiquing not criticising. Agree in regards to the Slater comment but by the same token, I think it's fair to say that Slater was a much more impressive ball runner and support player than Hoffman at the same point in his career. Slater would be lurking around the ruck looking for an offload, something I'm yet to really see Hoffman do. Can't remember that match specifically but from what I've seen he definitely doesn't look comfortable chiming in to backline movements. And of course I realise players develop but when you look at the involvement levels of some of the other top fullbacks in the league, I don't think it's unreasonable to be expecting a little more from him in his third year of NRL. At the moment the strength of his game is fielding kicks, one-on-one defence and kick returns. Needs to work on support play and second man play. Not saying that he can't add those things to his game, just that he needs to. And of course I hope he does. The sooner the better ideally. [/QUOTE]
