Ben Hunt Takes Responsibility for Dragons Woes

As I said you defend him at all costs and your post quoted above simply confirms that.
If you don't think Hunt's lack of consistent form is part of the problem you are completely delusional.
Why do you always try and get personal.. I’m sure you have a gorgeous soul deep down, you should let it out more..

But, back to the topic..

The whole team’s form is the problem..

Apart from Mick Ennis, can you tell me 1 other player who is putting in week in, week out?

It’s man management and game strategy that is off..

Pull yourself together muzby "Mick Ennis"?
Not only have you got it in for anyone who suggests Hunt is not so good but now you have it in for the rest of the panel on the TV.
See a lawyer and start proceedings against Mary as he has scrambled your brain completely.
On a serious note you are being pot calling kettle re "personal" as you are not squeaky clean in that area.
Re the team I agree they are well and truly down on form with the exception of Mc Innes who seems to have kept his form very consistent over the year.
Notwithstanding that there are plenty of threads and posts giving it to a range of players including Mc Innes funnily enough and the Hunt thread we are now posting in just happens to be one of them.
Hunt has not provided the team with anywhere near top shelf performances becoming a player of his reputation or pay grade and even Hunt admits that himself.
It appears to me that any criticism of Hunt is instantly met by a terse response form you and you deflect to a range of other issues, players, coaches etc etc.
Hunt like others in the team is well below form and the fans are entitled to voice their opinions about him without you constantly suggesting they are incorrect.

Try this..

Say “McInness” out loud..

Then say “Mick Ennis” out loud..

For the rest of your post, tldr..

I do feel sorry for Hunt though.. He could rescue a family from a burning house and there’d be folks like you who then criticise him for not putting out the fire..

To me Hunt looks disinterested and most likely depressed about playing in our current structure.

He needs, like Soward did, a coach who can actually coach and get the best out of him. Hunts best season ever was under Bennett (as was Sowards) and he's played well in Origin. He's a good player but unless there's changes at the top I just think we'll see him keep sliding into Darius Boyd territory.

Agreed.

Hunt is just another elite half who can show glimpses of brilliance, but under such a simplistic and one dimensional structure that Mary provides, he can’t actually flourish.

Add Widdop and Benji to this as well. And guys like McCrone and Drew Hutchison who were shit to begin with look even more shit under Mary.

The only players who will thrive under a Mary led team are forwards who tend to shine when employing our “power” game. Hence, Vaughan Tariq, JDB and Friz have managed to grab rep jumpers under his watch.

Any other player with actual ability and creativity, likes halves, centres and fullbacks will regress under a Mary led team.

It's hilarious how the alleged highest paid player in the club takes the blame but the coach and the leadership group are silent.

It speaks volumes about the culture of the club.

Who will get the blame when we lose to the Titans on Saturday?

You are a pedant of the 1st order and would gladly jump on anybody who makes a mistake with a , or ‘ let alone an entire name so suck it up for once princess.
Repeat after “me muzby f**ked up”
Again re Hunt you now introduce ridiculous analogies.
He gets praised when does things well and he cops it when he doesn’t.
Simple equation if you want him to get more praise get him to play better because his current form is worthy of the criticism he gets.

Host because he is in CC when the team needed him in 1st grade.

Getting quite personal again there OT..

I’ve been calling McInness “Mick Ennis” for the last couple of years..

Don’t get shitty just because you don’t get it..

LOL you are a joke.
You are correct, I enjoy enriching people’s lives via humour..

Here’s me doing exactly that way back in 2017:

Mick Ennis speaks highly of McInnes because his name sounds like Mick Ennis when you say it out loud, and we know that Mick Ennis' favourite thing to talk about is Mick Ennis.

muzby you are in quick sand and the more you wriggle the quicker you sink.
Are you trying to get me to believe that the last time you mentioned Mc Inness as Mick Ennis was back in 2017?
That doesn't sound the same as "I've been doing to for the last couple of years."

No, that wasn’t the last time.. That was one of the first times..

And 2017 was, funnily enough, a couple of years ago..

Hopefully the penny will drop soon..

So why go back to 2017, just post the very recent one's say from anywhere between the Charity Shield & Round 20 this year.

If we could win with Hornby as our play maker, I see no reason why we can't win with Hunt.

Just needs the right coach. Simple.QUOTE]

So bloody true. Just goes to show how important a coach is but apparently the board don't think he is that important hence why they have the clown still in charge.
