There are some things that also need to be considered when discussing Hoff:
1. When defending he has little help from the 7 position. Hoole provides little assistance for him and often reacts after the opposition left back has gone forward and there is an overload on Hoff.
2. Hoff has rarely gone forward this season. Either on Jones' instructions or because he knows that if the ball is lost it will be on him to get back and he might well doubt Hoole's ability to assist him.
While Hoff is not the best right back in the league he is up there toward the top. If he can improve going forward and crossing then Wolfman might well be right
