in all honestly im coming around to the idea (as the only real option we have), as long as barba stays at the back defensively.
hoffmans going to defend in the line better than nikorima.
the sticking point is that hoffman cant do a sweep play or similar to save his life. but i guess barba is probably the most talented player on the park so his hands on the ball are going to be key. and as beads, said, barba or milford are going to have to do it next year.
what they will need to focus on is getting parker and thaiday on the edges popping balls out the back to create a bit of space for him to work in
but if they go naming parker at prop then ffs....
