Does pose the question though, doesn't it? Where do you play him?
Clearly he's most comfortable at Fullback. He does his best work chiming into the back line and hanging around the play the ball waiting for offloads. He's great under the high ball and his kick returns are actually quite good. Additionally, he's a tough and strong little bugger; more-so than Barba and doesn't get pushed back on kick returns.
So for mine, he's a natural Fullback.
This then begs the question for me, why the **** are we still playing Barba at Fullback? Him and Hoffman should swap for the rest of the season. Barba will get 15 or so games at 5/8 under his belt, while Hoffman moves to Fullback and provides the team with good kick return meters (and moves to Left Wing or Left Right Out next season) and Barba and Hunt can use him as a hole runner wider out, on both sides - or use him as a decoy to set up Reed and Hodges.
Can someone please tell me where the flaw is in my logic? Because I don't see the problem. Poorer defence than Hoffman? Sure, but we've had Scott Prince before and we made it work. Glenn and Reed can protect him.
What am I missing?? Am I simply missing the "Griffin" factor?
