  Unfortunately for Hoffman I think he has fallen victim to the fact that the eels have some very small fullbacks in their roster, especially in respect of French. I think it's meant that Arthur has been inclined to keep Auvau in the side to assist with the kick returns and early set hit ups which are a very important part of the game. Hoffman is the superior finisher and is better postionally. He got beaten a couple of times this year himself but that's unusual he's usually good defensively. It's a hard call but I'd go with Hoffman on Ado - Carr

  Thats my concern, speed. Ado carr is very quick which will worry both auvaa and taka who will try and defend him.

  Hoffman is a left winger and Auva'a is a left centre. Neither is 'ideal' to play right wing, but Auva'a is part of a winning team and probably no point changing that this week.
  
  If Auva'a has a shocker (I'm sure Melbourne will target him) I wouldn't be surprised if french takes that spot instead of Hoffman getting a go. This obviously would mean will smith would remain at fullback.
