I thought Reed showed some good efforts tonight. As with Hoffman, even though he isn't a 5/8th. At least he has some spirit, something Barba doesn't have.
I'd seriously consider switching Barba to 5/8th and Hoffman to fullback. Barba can't be dropped from first grade, that'll do nothing for his confidence, but maybe he'll find some form when he isn't under pressure from the high balls. He's just targeted set after set now.
While Hunt showed some impressive touches, that was all he did. Sometimes run it on 5th or kick it. We were one off the ruck the whole night and he went missing. The Titans defence was compressed and, despite some handy efforts from the forwards, the Titans could be up quick in our face and with big numbers. Hunt should've played first receiver so many more times tonight, our attack had 0 creativity coming out of our own half. Suddenly when were behind in the last 7 minutes, we decide to shift it in our own half and we start making breaks. Where the hell was this the whole game? We've played our best when Hunt is in the thick of it and spreading it/running it, but he was pigeoned out on a corridor the whole night. I'm not sure if he just went missing or if it was a botched game plan.
