JOSH HOFFMAN TO BULLDOGS A DONE DEAL

Forget all the political football being kicked around both north and south of the border – Josh Hoffman is just about a done deal at the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs for 2014.

Despite the Brisbane Broncos’ public statements that Hoffman is their property and under contract, I’m hearing they are privately resigned to letting Hoffman go.

The only reason the move hasn’t been made public is that the two clubs are haggling over the release fee. No official announcement is likely until after this weekend’s World Cup final, with Hoffman still in England but missing a spot in the Kiwis’ squad to face Australia to Warrior Kevin Locke.

The move will delight the Bulldogs fans, who will see it as ‘payback’ after the Broncos took their star – and under contract – fullback Ben Barba recently.

I'd say the Doggies fared better out of this deal than the Donkeys (Hoffman/Barba).

I dunno, I know Barba has issues but when he is in form he is just amazing.

Hoffman made a good move cause I think he would have found it difficult.

It remains to be seen if the Bulldogs can hit their straps next year.

Barba has issues, Hoffman has issues ... one can turn a game the other can't ... obvious choice.

The answer is Barba right?
