Re: [RUMOUR] Barba to Broncos

Short memories indeed if you can't remember 2011 where Hoffman was a great ball playing Fullback...

Great? Do you know what the word means? Also, are you aware of some of the names in rugby league who are associated with the word great? Hoffman will never be in that league.

He's an average fullback when he's playing well.

Maybe great and ball playing together was a bit much, but I seem to remember him putting on a few tries for his outside men, particularly Hodges.

Hardly an average Fullback I would have thought, either. William Zillman is an average Fullback.

Hoffman has shown questionable attitudes and personality traits before

and speaking for myself,

it's the main cause for concern /suspicion regarding his 'reported" reactions to Ben Barba's impending arrival at the club.

was a self-confessed 'tanker' through the back end of last season ... it's quite ironic that two-thirds of this forum was absolutely smashing him this time last year and then again after he made the admission about not giving 100% ...

he's done everything right since then, but he doesn't have enough license yet to start nominating where he should be picked

Ok, agree to disagree. Pointless argument either way, he's not going to be our fullback. His position is wing, and he might get a centre spot if Hodges heads off into retirement.

Not by today's standards. Zillman is probably the worst fullback in the NRL...

Haven't seen him play in the halves before and I'm not convinced that he is the answer. Good to see he has committed himself to the club, would be very dissapointed if he left.

I'd prefer him over Mini, Bowen, Locke and until recently, Boyd. I'd also pick him over almost any winger in the comp.

For the next two months Bowen is ahead of Hoff but not after that. He's getting too old. I agree with the others about mini and Locke and possibly boyd under him

Can't argue with that. If barba gets back close to his 2012 form he would be above Dugan imho

I'd have Barba ahead of Dugan in that pecking order ..
As would I, Dugan as brilliant as he is individually, I think Barba has more ability to set up those around him. In top form, I'd have him ahead of Stuart as the no.3 fullback, on average I'd have him as the no.4 fullback.
