Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2575770, member: 1847"] Sorry, I disagree. Yes, the edge (and wider) defence cost us 3 (or was it 2) soft tries - no doubts, and it was again a big problem in the Dragons match. My point however is that with a decent 5/8 (again Widdop just as one example 'cos I really like him), we would have been at least 12-18 points ahead so it would have still been a win for us. Can you imagine Widdop kicking to Vidot? Whoa ... THAT is what I am talking about. Hoffman ATM, is a point scoring liability, and unless he improves dramatically soon, it will cost us as it did in the Roosters match, and especially in future games v teams like Manly, and the Bulldogs in particular. In my view, we are playing top 4 level football right now up to the point of scoring on both sides as a result of 2 effective play making halves. In short, I believe we are competitive against the very best sides with one play maker short. At the business end of the season, unless we compete on equal terms with the top sides - that is, with 2 decent halves and not 1, we are cactus for the semis. I can only imagine the extra tries we might have scored if we had a decent playmaking 5/8. [/QUOTE]
