Vidot was 108kg in the pre-season media guide for the Dragons last year. He'd been pre-Griffined already.

Yeah, it would be like naming Mitchell Johnson a spin bowler and then showing stats that prove he is the fastest spin bowler of all time

Re: ben barba/josh hoffman
Whilst 4 line-break assists and 4 try assists are nice.. I can't recall Hoffman ever actually piercing the line this year, has he made any line-breaks? I'd be perfectly fine with the Hoggman experiment if he was actually just tearing teams up down the left hand side and making multiple breaks a game, but he just seems to make 6-7 metres then get smashed.

Hunt is more effective at running the ball because the defence can't just have 3-4 players commit to stopping him because he actually does pass the ball.

Yeah, pretty much. Hoffman's running game is pretty useless.

Imagine how many metres Vidot would make at 6?!
Speaking of which, on the weekend Vidot received the ball from Hunt after a scrum and Wally said it's not often that Vidot would catch the ball at five-eight. But he does almost every time after the scrum. Lewis was a great player but he's been shocking lately on commentary.

Kent Brockman: Mr. Simpson, how do you respond to the charges that petty vandalism such as graffiti is down eighty percent, while heavy sack-beatings are up a shocking nine hundred percent?
Homer Simpson: Aw, people can come up with statistics to prove anything, Kent. Forfty percent of all people know that.

That would be okay if he actually DID play what was in front of him and not **** it up like a tool.

Re: ben barba/josh hoffman
Exactly, he asks questions of the opposition defence, you don't know if his going to run it, pass it, put in a grubber, chip kick etc which makes it very hard for the opposition to simply commit all their players to him because it can be at their own peril. Hoffman is too easy to read, he might put in the odd grubber but 99 percent of the time he will run it and that just makes him a liability with the ball in his hands in attack, he might make some good metres but overall the opposition defense isn't concerned about commiting too many players to tackling him cause they know in the end his going to be tackled.
