Josh Hoffman

So I keep hearing Josh Hoffman is a done deal at the Eels. What I haven't understood yet is where that means he will be played?

What are peoples thoughts on him and for anyone in the know, where will he play?

I am hoping we would have signed him as a winger but people much smarter than me hopefully know more.

  • Hopefully not signed as I believe he is bog average and yes he is a winger who thinks he is better at fullback, centre or half but is useless and has no vision, can not control a game, no penertration or speed to exploit the gaps, just a average winger who thinks he is better than what he really is.

  • I'm personally not a fan of him, at all. I would have to assume its at wing though but we do definitely need some depth in the backs so I guess it comes down to his signing value...

  • He can cover 1-5 has played 6 before but not very good in the halves good signing in my opinion
  • He's on contract until end of next year. If he comes to us, he'd be on the cheap because the Titan's would be forking out half his contract.

  • He would not make our starting side in any position .we do not have to sign wingers . If (when) we lose a back he would be useful
    • Who do we have as wingers? We have Semi who is great but he does suffer injury and aside from that Beven will be in FB as stated by BA as is currently stands.

      On top of all this even if you do have a 1-7 sorted on paper (which we don't really) there are ALWAYS injuries.

      I am not a fan of him but think he could be a great signing based on utility value dependent on price.

  • I think the fact that we had to call on Vai Toutai proves we really do need to sign wingers.
    • That was because he was in the top 25. With Toutai / Folau gone we can start blooding Schulte etc who will benefit from the exposure at the top level. 

  • Can't imagine he would sign to play in Wenty
    These rumours make me very nervous about Semi
    • Why? If Gutherson plays in the halves as BA has suggested and French at fullback, we have a wing spot vacant.
