Message: [QUOTE="bazza, post: 2581845, member: 8440"] No surprise Parker played his best game back at lock. He is just a lot more comfortable taking the third or fourth hit-up rather than the first and second. He needs the bigger forwards to make some room in the first or second carries of the set, which is when Parker has the space through retreating defenders to work his magic and pop and incredible offload. When Parker does that from Prop, its therefore earlier in the tackle count, so not as effective, as the opposition defensive line is set, which means there not enough room to capitalise off. On Hoffman, there's one thing that I have noticed throughout the season, which may be the reason he doesn't pass to outside players. Since he is playing on the left side of the field, it requires him to pass from right-to-left, which for a lefty, is the 'weaker' side (Just like for a right-hander, passing left-to-right is the 'weaker' side). it is clear he is reluctant and hesitant to pass, which may be because he is not confident at all in his right-to-left pass. Evidence of this was when he made the break, and he had the option of passing to his left to Reed, or passing to his right to Hunt; he chose the latter option, as he felt more comfortable in throwing the pass from left-to-right.
