Of the 16 current NRL halbacks Ben Hunt would rank about 9th after Thurston Johnson Cronk Reynolds Pearce Cherry-Evans Hodgkinson and Brooks. Putting a value on the 9th best halfback in the game is a tricky task. Suspect the broncos would value him at about $500000 Would think that a $200000 premium on that would be adequate

100% agree with every word you said . Most agree the 2 things we need most is a genuine first grade number 7 and a quality coach ...Well here is a chance to fix one of those problems .There is no way in the world Hodkinson, Brooks, Reynolds, Pearce or even Cherry-Evans are ahead of Ben Hunt. The others are some of the best halves we've ever seen in the history of the game. In fact Hunt is next in line for the Queensland number 7 jersey after Cronk retires.
When the cap goes up over the next few years player contracts are going to sky-rocket, especially in the halves. We NEED an established halfback and Hunt is the best player out there within reach for us. He will compliment Jai Field's natural game perfectly.
The club cannot afford to miss out on an established half, they need to act now and push hard.
maybe not worth a million but second tier? really?
Hunt is better than Reynolds.Well he's not top tier... So must be second.
Elite are guys like Thurston or Cronk.
I would class someone like Adam Reynolds or Cherry Evans as top tier.... and Hunt falls short of them IMO

Widdop is off contract so ball is not in his court, I won't be upset to see him move on. He's average at organising, running and passing. I don't imagine too many defensive lines quaking in their boots when he has ball in handOn the sporting news website it all but said widdop will not be there after next year and that is basically what saints are relying on to afford hunt
