Message: [QUOTE="Ari Gold, post: 2571300, member: 1917"] The real problem I have, even if he's just considered "short-term", is that he's a bridge to Kahu at five-eight. If we were waiting for Lockyer to return and just wanted someone to do a safe job, then I'd understand. But Kahu has never played #6 at NRL level; from what I understand he has played bits and pieces in the position at lower levels but is by no means a specialist. When your top 2 halves options are Ben Hunt and Jordan Kahu, and one is injured, I'd rather we tried to find a 3rd genuine option, rather than use a safe option to keep the team in a good position until one of the top 2 returns. I mean, we are 2/2, so you could say it's worked, and in the short-term it has. But if Kahu struggles to return to fitness, or doesn't work out, or if Ben Hunt fails to play better, then we are going to be in a hole at the 6 & 7 positions, and having played Hoffman at 6 these early games will have in no way helped us find a way out of said hole. Hopefully it won't come to that, but frankly, I don't hold out great hope for a Kahu/Hunt halves combination. [/QUOTE]
