Reynolds dominates these games and makes all these Origin players like Hunt, Haas and Walsh look better but can never get an Origin look in himself

Most underrated halfback in recent memory

Broncos fans are thankful Souths were dumb enough to think Illias was actually good

A big part of that is due to Ben Hunt....he had a very good game as well. He took so much pressure off Reynolds. I think Mam will need to bide his time in reserves if that continues.

Hunt at 9, and then Walters can go where he should be-reserve grade. Paix is better

I suspect Mam won't be just walking back into the team like nothing ever happened. It will take an injury.

Walters is the better 14 anyway, he can play in the halves and play hooker. I suspect Madge knows this and it went into his thinking when selecting the team.

100% agree with this. Why on Earth would you put an asset like Hunt into hooker where he'll need to make 30+ tackles a game? That Hunt-Renno combo looks as smooth as silk at the moment, taking pressure off each other.

Mam may be a better player than Walters....but Walters is a far better utility than Mam.

In saying that, a lot can happen in a season and Reynolds is made of glass.

I don't have the data in front of me but I daresay whenever Hunt has played 9 for QLD, it's been something where he's just playing that position to manage Harry Grant's workload. I think fans get carried away thinking he could play hooker week in and week out in the NRL, we haven't seen it. I don't think he's overly keen on it either.
