    THAT pushover try

    Thee most embarrassing play I've seen on a football field in a while. All teams should utilize this play more often. Sick of seeing backs in a scrum...this is one way of getting them out of there.

    Hoffman to Warriors

    Thanks very much Blair - greatly appreciated. Cheers JJ also. Back on track, looking forward to seeing Hoffman here now, plenty of folk seem to think he has what we need. His leadership skills is something I wasn't aware of, so I'll give him a big thumbs up for that.

    State of Origin

    There's another angle as well, the underdog or little brother QLD taking on big brother NSW. The power-base of the game is still very much in NSW and as long as this holds true then QLD will always be the little brother regardless of how many titles the cockroaches win. And kiwis tend to root...

    Hoffman to Warriors

    ?Balmain? Tigers man well before the Warriors came to be, but like most kiwis; have more than a soft spot for the Warriors. This thread is about a player but it is what this signing represents that is my main focus. The Warriors are consistently inconsistent and I blame management for that...

    Hoffman to Warriors

    Absolutely, because everyone here is here for one reason - we care. But back to the topic, I believe we paid too much for Hoffman and I also believe that this decision just highlights that this club's power brokers are still making too many poor decisions. That is my whole argument in a...

    Hoffman to Warriors

    I am speaking to the right people about what I believe to be the real issue here - the club's decisions makers. History shows us all that management have consistently failed us. In this information age, what we say matters especially if its a collective rather than divided voice! My brother...

    Hoffman to Warriors

    I'm a League man - I want the best for the game. The Warriors are NZ's shop-front window and they have done a miserable job at representing this country since its inception. History is on my side and I have not seen anything that tells me that on-field results are going to change any time...

    Learn to read rulz! "High value" is misspeak for overpriced!

    The staff making the decisions decide and we here agree or disagree with them

    Hoffman to Warriors

    For the good of the competition and the game in general ? the cap is relevant. For the interests of a few teams the cap is criminal. It appears the cap is ineffectual now so the few have won out over the many (finally) and a lop-sided and highly predictable. EPL type competition is on the way...

    Hoffman to Warriors

    Sounds like the salary cap has gone to the dogs. Hello EPL style predictability - same oles at the top, everyone else scrambling below. There are overs and then there are overs. Paying someone extra to get them here is understandable. Paying someone more than they're worth is foolish. If the...

    Hoffman to Warriors

    Sorry, but the argument is simple ? you either think he?s worth the money or he isn?t. People know my take. Nothing else matters compared. Overcomplicating a simple matter is the stuff of politicians ? this issue is simple. My focus is "more" on the decision makers than the player. This...

    Hoffman to Warriors

    Again, my argument is simple - this guy is not worth the money and there are connotations associated with that in regards to the people who chose to do this. Any bows being drawn are misinformed interpretations of a very simple argument. In line with my argument, in regards to all these...

    Hoffman to Warriors

    The problem is that he?s not worth the money so the beef is with all those that brokered this deal. This deal just reinforces to me that little has changed at this club, that far too many poor decisions are still being made. Expect more of the same on-field performances as a result. And I say...

    Hoffman to Warriors

    In the real world, in any given transaction, what we pay is the issue, what we sacrifice; rarely does that enter our mind compared. I see no difference here. Is a player worth the money or isn?t he?an extremely simple question that doesn?t need to be shrouded in complexity. My answer is...

    Hoffman to Warriors

    It is about value for money and whether they've delivered on their asking price. Benji Marshall was a piss-poor on-field Union investment, Joe Tomane on the other hand was a much better Union investment, the difference being - the price paid for each of them. I wouldn't have Hoffman at this...

    Hoffman to Warriors

    Again, don't be looking at the players - concentrate on the people making the decisions here. They are the first port of call. Get them right and things should change for the better.

    Hoffman to Warriors

    If a player is being paid like a star then he should perform like one. This guy is not a star despite his rep credentials. Some reps are well worth their money and then some and some are not, but being a rep should never automatically entitle the player to a fat paycheck.

    Hoffman to Warriors

    No, I am not recruitment ? I am management (not with this outfit obviously). As such, it is my job to identify the strengths and weaknesses within my organization, among a host of other things. Recruitment is a problem area here although you don?t need to be a manager to spot that. If this...
