Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2583847, member: 1899"] vert - That's a fair call. It's frustrating no doubt about it but given the situation with recruitment and retention, the Hoffman route was the safest route to go down and probably the most rational. Not only did it give the first grade side a sense of stability, it also gave the rookies a chance to apply what they learned in the pre-season and develop naturally through that process. With the bye round next week, it really is the perfect opportunity to bring in a halves partner, fix the kicking situation and give the Broncos a new dynamic. While Souths smoked us in the kicking department tonight, I don't think blooding a rookie half would have made a difference. It wouldn't have fixed our soft start, turn-overs or leadership at crucial times. Hodges threw some lovely cut-out passes but I'd have a difficult time ranking it over Hoffman's R2 performance. For starters, he came up with that silly razzle dazzle forced turn over BS that just wasn't on a few times and I don't think I've seen a player put himself out of the play than Hodges. It was like watching the NYC all over again wondering what they were thinking on some of their scrum positioning. [/QUOTE]
