Exactly, that's what I was going stupid about yesterday when I said Saints are going to find it hard to replace Hunt, love or hate him.Hmm. Flanno is going to have problems in the halves this year then.
There are 3 play makers in a side imo.
One is your conventional half that comes more into play on the 4th and 5th tackle. He usually does most of the kicking because it doesn't matter what side of the field he plays, he's close to to ruck.
The second is ⅝ who has more of a running game and the third one is your ball playing lock. He is one of the most important players. Yeo says it all.
One common trait they all have is they keep the ball in play and bodies in motion.
But the ½ has to have an awesome kicking game. So Saints need an Akinson or Moses type. I don't think the Sharks could have finished where they did without the Atko/Trindall combo whilst their marquee ½ was out injured.
