Just watching the Scum vs Donkeys game on GEM (it started at 1:30am.....), if Wayne Bennett has any sense (and I believe he does), next year he'll have Barba at FB, Hoffman on the wing and Milford at 5/8.
Ben Barba isn't a 5/8. He's not a great passer of the ball and is more suited to be on the end of a movement than he is starting one. Still playing like a shadow of his 2012 self.
Josh Hoffman isn't a 5/8 either. He thinks he's a better FB, but his best position at the Donkey's will be on the wing, whether he likes it or not.
Anthony Milford at 5/8 with Hunt at half should be a good combination for the Donkeys next year. Not the class of DCE and Foz, but not bad all the same.
You can bet that before he got the arse this week, Hook probably thought he wouldn't have a bad team to work with next year.
