Why we need Hoffman to play

As good as Avaua has been in the past few games his defensive lapses were very apparent and if he plays next week against Melbourne Addo Carr will burn him multiple times.I believe based upon experience and defensively ability BA should consider Hoffman to come back into the wing spot. Hoffman will also be more selective with his up and in when following Jenko.Thanks Kirosome but we need Josh back...

  • Hoffman is not perfect but Auvaas reads in defence last night were horrible to watch. Jennings may have beaten Hoffman once but he is smart enough to fix it unlike Auvaa

    • That doesnt help but the second jennings try he came so far out of the line it was like an u10s play
  • I hope I'm wrong but he will be shown up big time next week. He can't catch and is very slow to turn in d.. he will cost us big time
  • I think Hoffman will play if 100% fit. He's a very good winger and an expert finisher. I think he's highly rated by Arthur too
  • There is pros and cons with this.  Hoffman is a better leaper and jumper with the high/cross ball, but Auva'a is a better power runner and is an extra forward in attack.  Both are on par with each other in pace.

    BA will stick by Auva'a for the next game but if he struggles again in a big way with the cross kick Hoffman may come in.  French may also return to the team on the wing.      

  • We need Hoffman asap
  • Where's Hock?
  • yes when the centre comes up and in so does the winger, however with this style of defence we need a winger quick off the mark who can change direction and close the gap quickly. Auvua doesn't have the agility to do so. Jennings (opposition) first try where he had no right to make it whilst being so close to the try line emphasised auvuas inability. Hoff has more pace and although he might make bad reads here and there like auvua, at least hoff has the agility to attempt to rectify misreads.

  • People have short term memories around here, y'all calling for Hoffman's head not long ago

"Your right. We need to build from within the pathways. We have an elite prospect in every position. It's just that those centre and wingers are only in SG Ball next year. Every other position, they are already in JF or Cup"

We did that to Hayne before he went titans."
