And now are you glad we have signed Ben Hunt ?

[slippery5]

Hunt is the best signing we have made since I started supporting us in 79.

I still think he is improving too.

I thought he was a stand out for MOM today.

Hunt could be the form halfback of the comp right now and I think he will continue to improve as the year goes by. He looks to be playing better under Mary, than Bennett. Who would have thought? lol

Can't believe he wasn't MOM then comes JDB Sims McInnes

 

[slippery5]

I personally believe you build your team around your middles (8,9,10,13,) then your halfback.

Having good halves is absolutely redundant with no dominance in the middle.

With the acquisition of Hunt, it solved the puzzle as we already had the dominant pack

I have to hand it to the recruitment who have done a 10/10 job IMO.

- Signing McInnes from Souths, he wasn't a regular starter
- Signing Vaughan from Canberra's RESERVE GRADE team, master stroke from recruitment
- Signing Graham for virtually nothing
- Having the strength to let go and offer Dugan what he's worth not what he wanted, a marquee and extremely important international
- Letting go of Joel Thompson
- Signing of Sims from Newcastle
- Even the signing of Latimore seems like an apt signing
- Signing Ben Hunt

I think the important thing about these signings in value for money.

I guess the only hiccup is Lafai, despite his scintillating 2017 season, 2018 and 2016 hasn't really impressed.

You nearly "had me" until you mentioned Latimore

Latimore's been brilliant. Don't know what your on about.

Latimore has been fine though. Just because he's in a pack that's setting the league on fire around him doesn't just make him bad

Jeremy latimore in my opinion is a very reliable toiler ,who plays no mistake football .I don't know what some of you guys expect, for the money he's probably on he's ok in my book .as a matter if of fact he's better than ok ........

I can't believe that Hunt wasn't named MOM either.

Who was named MOM, I missed that. Hunt was the MOM without a doubt, without him we score 3 less tries.

Frizz, I would have given it to Simms personally

Lomax in for Lafai and well be even better

 

[mickeylane]

Not at left centre - it's a specialist position and Lomax is strictly a right sided player..

 

[watatank]

Strictly? Lomax played left centre for the 20s team most of last year

 

[Slippery Morris]

Lomax is a gun but surely Mann deserves first dibs. Mann is a great player. Better than Lafai by a long way.

just curious how can you be scintillating and yet don't impress .....

I think he means 'officially'...

 

[The Damo]

More versatile definitely. Better centre? Nah.
Lafai better defender, better offloads, breaks more tackles, Equal footwork, Mann faster and marginally better passing in that position.

I'm not saying he's bad, I'm saying we didn't need him & should be giving more game time to Sele/Host as in my opinion, offer, & have far more potential but either get splinters in their bum or get 7 mins to prove themselves.

 

[slippery5]

Latimore's been brilliant. Don't know what your on about.

Brilliant ???????? thats a big word, but each to their own, I think we have better options if others were given a chance to show their ability.

Your cracking jokes!! Lomax has played his whole career at right Centre or wing - NSW, Dragons, Aust Schoolboys l. Do your homework - maybe he's played 1-2 games at left centre in the U20s but that doesn't make him a specialist left centre.. MANN would fit the bill if Lafai was dropped
