    Your joking right? I really thought that Hoffman would be better at fullback. Not sure if I like the sudden change but time will tell on this one.

    Not really that hard to tell! In a captains the run the day before the game you see taka in the half position! Don't get me wrong I would much prefer minimal changes with hof going to FB. But that Dosent look the case.

    Yeah true but it just looks like that's where we are going with that. Yeah he did play well, as long as we get the win he can play in the front row for all I care

  What really amazes me is the brain dead supposition that our coach is also brain dead and has forgotten everything he and every other fairdinkum coach, player and fan learnt over the years.

  a) You don't weaken one position to fill another.

  b) when forced to make changes, keep them to a minimum.

  c) repeat a) and b) unless in doubt.

  d) then repeat a) and b)

    What really amazes me is that as a rugby league supporter you can't identify a standard attacking shape! I'm not saying it's a 100% but the picture clearly shows taka playing as a half with avaa in the centres and hoff on the wing!
