Josh Hoffman

[Inferno]

We should get him.

He's an out and our fullback and will likely get shafted to the wing should the Broncs pick up Barba.

He's played most of the year on the wing and in the centres, but Norman is heading to the Eels, and the Broncs definitely planned for him to be their long term fullback prior to Barba becoming available. Given the Broncs are also linked with Anthony Milford, someone will have to be cut to make room.

He's already indicated he'd be "disappointed" if the Broncs signed Barba or Milford.

He's also a kiwi so he wouldn't be unavailable for SOO.

 

[carcharias]

Yes his talents could do with some cronullifying.

 

[Birdee_Num_Num]

might need some reconciliations first between him and wade for shoulder charging his face off :lol:

 

[Since 73]

No.

But if I heard we had signed Matt Bowen I'd be more on the happy side of things than the unhappy.

Very safe under the high ball.

Renowned excellent defender.

Great returner of the ball.

Links very well on the fringe.

Good short kicking game.

Finds holes where there are none.

At the right price and nursed thru 1 season - yep.

Cows wont offer a contract.

 

[Card Shark]

We should get him.

Agree mate. Thought he was an outstanding talent when he started but went off the boil last year.

He's found his mojo again now.

Smart recruitment may have seen him signed before he returned to form ??

 

[Madsharkie]

I love Matty Bowen. When on his game he's just a freak. The cows must really rate the new fb they've signed to not offer Bowen a contract. Can't imagine cows fans would be too impressed with that situation. I'd have him at the sharks in a heartbeat, but very much doubt he'd make the move that far south.
On Hoffman, he had a blinder last night. He's a wholehearted player who you'd have in any team. If we got him I guess it'd mean flash to centre, and I'm not sure if that'd work?

 

[Madsharkie]

...Smart recruitment may have seen him signed before he returned to form ??

I don't think we're there yet! Lol He can't even play second row!

 

[PHaTMaN]

Hells yes to Hoffman, we need some pace in the team. HOw would flash go at center? Or even stick Hoffman on the wing.

 

[Coastal Shark]

Leave Flash at fullback and try Hoffman in the centres.

 

[BWNB]

Isn't he an eel next year?

 

[Coastal Shark]

Isn't he an eel next year?

Na, that's Corey Norman.

 

[some11]

He doesn't have any ball playing skills, which is why he was moved to the wing where he has proved a much better winger than a fullback.

He could be destined for the centres anyway with Hodges out for most of next year.

 

[bluefox1968]

Would love to have Josh Hoffman.

As much as I think Matty 'Mango' Bowen is a great player, not dure hus knees gave snither seadon in them. The media are talking post-footy career with the Cowboys...???

 

[bluefox1968]

What? Sorry about the typo's... I've been cro-nullified!

 

[blacktip-reefy]

Barba to cowboys.

 

[bluey]

That makes sense

 

[Inferno]

Barba to cowboys.

That's further away from Brisbane/Gold Coast than Canterbury is.

I thought the whole idea was to be somewhere close to his ex-partner and kids.

 

[Card Shark]

Barba to cowboys.

So his ex has gone to Townsville now has she?
