Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2614634, member: 1847"] Love your avatar Marty. Just don't ask me to shake hands. Whatever the merits of the theory to which you refer, for mine, the result is that we have almost sacrificed this season because of the utterly asinine decision to move Hoffman to 5/8. If Hoffman had any instincts to be a gun FB, he would have shown them before the start of this season which clearly, he hadn't. Putting him at 5/8 crippled our attack. We played half the season with 1 genuine half. You can't coach instincts. The fact that we have done as well as have - and the results this year have been very good for a team with one half, makes this stupidity so much more frustrating and annoying. As for benching Milford, to me, that is like Manly benching DCE. DCE on the bench for Qld was only because Cronk owns the half back position. Milford is 5 times the FB Hoffman was, is and ever will be. Having said that, Hoffman is at last doing quite well at the back, which makes it even MORE IRRITATING that he was moved in the first place. He ught to have been firing from the start of the season. He's had enough bloody time at the back to show his "gun-ness". As for your comments: "parker off for longer, more props in the game at once, props running on the edges and passing amongst the forwards, kicking into corners and backing each other in broken play will win us more games. Great game plan. Great execution. Good side." I agree, except you omitted "Barba playing at 5/8 is really showing how good we can be". Which makes the virtual sacrifice of this season all the more IRRITATING. [/QUOTE]
