Message: [QUOTE="nopatience101, post: 2454308, member: 1755"] I think there was a general acceptance toward the end of the season that Hoffman is too one dimensional at FB and really lacks the ball playing skills and awareness for a side that now lacks a dominant playmaker. It was always one of the concerns about Hoffmans game and for a season it went away and he got a new contract out of it. It was alright when Locky was there to run off but we need more from the back now. K was always an important part in the clubs post-locky phase and while his absence at first may not have been felt, it certainly was this season and will again next season, particularly with Gagai being released. Kahu is easily our best option at FB for next year provided he can recover the football lost over the last two seasons. Up front is also a concern, we lack the quality off the bench in the front row. Hala has his moments but they are few and once Hannant and McGuire come off Hala is not the sort of prop thats going to carry us out of our end. Dodds is probably the best hitter at the club since Tunza but again wont make us metres. Lui is a backrower imo and Wallace and the rest are still raw. Not sure Anderson is part of Hooks plans and it wouldn't surprise me if he was at another club next season. With no real alternatives Thaiday is going to have to shift up and play a fair bit of prop next year imo. If he is fit he could easily have a game similar to Graham and Kasiano at the dogs. Hannant's form this season and since he returned to the club imo has been pretty inconsistent and for the money he is on his game needs to improve and that may have to be off the bench. [/QUOTE]
