Every team needs a plodder.

Well, our coach is doubling as a plodder.

So why isn't McGuire dropped?
Griffin claimed he dropped Hannant because of form, one of those being his handling errors after scoring points. So why is McGuire still in the side when his error pretty much cost Broncos the game?

It was a bad error but Parker and Thaiday (as well as others) also made crucial errors. They all add up. McGuire just happened to make the last one.
Poor guy was pretty remorseful about that.

Anyway, I think Hook dropped Hannant for something more than just form.

Dropped Hannant for handling errors. Errors. Plural. Not singular.

Can we play him at prop instead of Parker. Move Hoffman to the wing and bring anyone in to play 6.

Come on mate... We've had some pretty shitty results of late (coupled with the loss in Origin) but there's been more to like than last year.
Hunt has kicked on nicely, Parker and Macca have had great seasons thus far, and we're actually scoring points again. Milf is on the way next year. Chin up!

From an article on the CM website:
"In another team change, Josh Hoffman is likely to play fullback tomorrow night with Ben Barba shifted to five-eighth to rebuild his confidence."

Great move.
We're going to need all the go-forward we can get. Can't surrender possession early and allow them to monster Barba and drag him back 20m.
Going to be interesting to see how Barba handles front-line defence.
Oh god...Hurrell on Barbra...

I was just looking around online, and noticed an article where Lockyer stated that Hurrell was a modern day Mal. I wouldn't exactly say that..

If the move happens and if Barba goes good at 6 for the remainder of the year. I would leave him there when Milford gets here

He's probably stronger and faster than Mal.. But I agree that it's far too early in his career to compare him to anyone like that, but if keeps up the way he's going, we might have to.

Hurrell is a fucking wrecking ball. I can't remember seeing a centre as damaging as him. Since Mal, anyway. But he has a lot to work on (cough, defence) until he's even in the same post code.
