... Anyone else got anything to add?

That article really paints it as if Hoffman and Hook have the issues. Maybe there is a bit of a wait and see on Hook over the first handful of rounds. If Hook gets hooked, Hoffman might give it a crack under a new coach?

He played fullback for a little in a game last year (someone help me out, towards the end...) and he actually looked decent there for the 20 odd minutes he played. I'd love for him to prove everyone wrong and really get it together. Not sure it'll happen though...

Not overly. He certainly has a different walk/run now and I thought he was looking sore before he went off. Mind you, the place was packed and I couldn't see shit...

That's what I was thinking...

I disagree with the structure bit of this. His defensive work has been great but I thought he looked out of place chiming into the backline and was massively absent in support play. In that PNG game, NZ must have made 30 offloads, Hoffman should have seen this and been flying up outside SBW...

Yep just watched the reply. He cleaned up kicks well but his is attack is nowhere near where it needs to be. Couple of awful kicks, bombed that try bad, arguably bombed another by passing when he had a big gap in front of him. He can't be our fullback

I thought he had an excellent second half of 2012. I didn't think much of him in the years before but he really came into it by late last year, possibly one of our better players in a pretty average season, and I had him pegged for a big 2013. Either way, good to know we have some depth there

I suppose the question then is: What is the pecking order for the number 6 jersey? What are the options in the top 25? Strasser Taylor Barba Hoffman Hodges Gillett... (OH GOD NO) Who else has played 6, or has put their hand up?

They were talking about this in the Radiers vs Wests (??) Toyata cup game the other day. One of the commentators said Brisbane were chasing him hard. He looks like a big talent.

When Hunt went off I thought, at the ground, he looked like he was in a little pain. Could be wrong but that's what I thought at the time and haven't seen a replay yet.

That hit up is one of my favourite broncos moments

It's not the shocking moments that worry me. It's the 75% of the game when I'm not even sure he's on the field. The remaining 25% is split between some really nice moments and some horrendous moments. Someone with 90 odd NRL games under their belt, even in their not preferred position needs to...

Hunt gets away with it cos he has only had a handful of games at 7 this year. The major issues have been there for 23 games now. That said, Hunt was awful for the 3rd week in a row. Not average, awful. As bad as Wallace has ever been. I'm willing to give him more time but he isn't the saviour...

I've never wanted more for a player leaving the Broncs than I do for Wal. 200% effort every game he has ever played for us and has been a scape goat for some very shitty coaching and generally average football from the team. That said, he is not the half we need right now. Best of luck to him
