Very good post i agree the amount invested in Widdop and Hunt is a tad scary to but the club needed a 7 and Hunt certainly looks like he could compliment widdop.The best opportunity the club has for future success is to let Josh go. He is a relatively good player with this sort of mystique based on his look and prodigious form from his late teens and early 20s. I have consistently said he is paid way overs. He plays solid or good games and people talk it up as though it's amazing. I saw Nene MCD score an amazing individual try against Easts and hardly a mention on the forum. If Josh scored it then it would be folklore the next decade.
For clarity I like Josh and would be happy for him to be signed on good money say $600 to $700 k tops. Please not a $800k +, we would be crippled for years.
Add to that McInnes who is a clever number 9 and Robson who has been mentioned as his backup you have some key components in your spine.
Fullback is going to be a big question that needs to be answered and Dugan for the good things he does he just isn't in the same class as some of the ball playing backs and what he is looking at pay wise he just isn't worth it.
