^lmao

And yet Hunt could only manage 3-3 while Nikorima has cruised to 4-0 in his first stint as a starting NRL half. Lots of improvement left.

Brisbane are undefeated since Nikorima moved into the halves lmao. They have looked better than they did with Hunt at 7 and tbh I wouldn't be phased if Hunt didn't play for the Broncos again.
Geez, I hope you're right. Would love to see him put his feet up for the rest of the season, get his injury sorted and show up at 100% fitness for the Dragons next year. F@#% the Broncos.

disagree - nikorima has been ok but Milford was in poor form at start of year and improved 100%...bit like attributing our winning run to mccrone

Yeah the team looks much better with Milford taking on more responsibility (Hunt's role) in the #7

You know full well Hunt is a champion player and you're just stirring haha.
I wonder if you would have said the same thing when he almost single handedly carried them to the GF.

Widdop/Hunt is the perfect combination balance. They will excel together.

He's a good player no doubt. I seriously hope he kills it for you guys.

I'm just saying his kicking game sucks and Niko is going better than some give him credit for, that's all.

Hunt is streets ahead of our current 7

Next season barring injuries we have an excellent 7,6 and 9.

Icing on the cake will be if Duges signs or one of Mann/Dufty/Field develop in to a first class full back.

Hunt is a gun....I watched him closely this year prior to injury and was their best player along with Boyd each game.....much better more complete player than Milford.

I must confess I watch the Broncos games, just to see Hunt play, it's going to be a good year next season.

God I hope he puts in a performance worthy of his price tag week in, week out and never has bad game or this place will go into absolute meltdown.

I was just curious as to how Hunt went on his return last night after 6 weeks out.
Didn't see too much on the highlights except a very nice kick to set up a try. Very nice.
So I had a quick look at the Bronco's forum (nospam37.com).
Very interesting.
Not a lot of love there for Hunt at all, in fact none. At best, a few more level headed posters suggested it was his first game back after 6 weeks, he played behind a pack that was dominated by Warriors etc. A few want him gone now ! Some want him in reserves.
Interestingly they mostly gave Benji a fairly good rap.
Anyway, I hope they're wrong about our future star half back.
Also, I was fascinated at how hard done by these f**kwits think they are with SOO. No questions of how the f**k can we afford 7 SOO players.Amazing too how they think the NRL draw is set up against them !!! FMD.
I hate these f**kers even more than I thought I did.

His first game back and he was a bit rusty but I didn't see anything that says Hunt won't be a massive upgrade for us with his combination with Widdop.

Hunt just needs to get out of the Bronco's to reinvigorate his career.
He doesn't fit their mould and is on the outer.
He will go very well for us as he will be welcomed as a "team" member where Broncos have golden haired boys and others that make up the team.
