Does Karmichael ever want to be a relevant sportsman again?

I'm sorry, but why is Karmichael Hunt irrelevant as far as sports people go?

He has played 39 games in two and a half seasons, which isn't a bad representation level, so he must be relatively highly thought of in the code he has chosen to represent.

He may not be in the top echelon of players in AFL, but he wasn't supposed to be. What he was required to do is to provide a high profile name in an area where AFL was little watched. Actually it probably still is. I don't watch Suns games so I wouldn't know. But the point it he was hired to be a high profile face of the game in the region his club represents. Ablett is probably the bigger name, but I bet cutie is the second name anyone would know at the club.

In a way I agree with Loudy - he gave up the opportunity to have a legacy in a Queensland glory period. I doubt few businessmen in QLD will want to reward him in the future for going to AFL - but he does have a legacy. He has played League, Union and AFL and been good at all three. More than Folau managed. So he does have a legacy of sorts - even if it's not going to give him a life after AFL.

However if he invests wisely with the money he has made out of AFL he doesn't need a high paying life after AFL. All he needs is some investment properties generating income and to stay away from Casinos.

well said mate..good post.

I find it odd that a lover of fine wine who doesnt like drinking cats piss can be called "narrow minded". I guess Joe Satriani fans who hate Bieber are also "Narrow minded".

In case you havent realised, this is an NRL forum. Cutie last played NRL when Parramatta were in a grand final. Why are we even discussing anyone who retired in 2009 from a sporting career? You may as well start a thread on f*cking Michael De Vere - he was born with almost the same surname - grew up as Mike Hunt.

mate i didn't start the thread...just commented on in it from an objective point of view and was accused of having no self respect because i watch AFL..and just saying i used to be narrow minded until i played AFL..it gave me respect for the game. that's all...so fkn what.

Hunt is just a run of the mill carefactor sportsman now playing in a team of losers.

Is that why you decided to start a thread about a current AFL player on an NRL forum?

FMD Brutus time to take your pills.

Your paranoia is the only thing that ever heard of that.

Hayne was the original GWS target but he knocked them back. It was all common knowledge at the time. No different from Inglis or Lockyer or Johns reviving offers from the ARU and AFL at other times.

No self respect - as enforced by your insinuation that one os not narrow minded unless you like AFL as though it is the great path to enlightenment.

That said, Buddha looks more like a Union forward than an AFL player.

One cane be extremely worldly and still think AFL is sh*t.
