Ben Hunt: The Losing Machine

[This Year?]

One thing that rarely gets a mention about Hunt is how he is a game changer.

Not giving him enough credit. He changed yesterday's game when he kicked it dead just when we got the one man advantage.

 

[JohnnoMcJohnno]

Yeah when I say serviceable I mean at best. He’s had his best year to date but he’s still not the Alfie Langer like player we thought we were getting.

Well there's a thought. Maybe Ben Hunt can be the waterboy behind the play. Can call the plays without having to do anything.

Hunt and Widdop are about par but Widdop probably had the slight edge because he could kick goals and didn’t completely shit the bed under pressure.
Hunt seems slightly more likeable though, he hasn’t quit mid contract to go and play for another team or cut his hair like Eminem yet.

But...But he tries hard!

hunt is our biggest problem.. we need to sack him. He takes up too much of the cap and is a road block to younger halves coming through. Worst signing ever

Sure sack him…. then pay out his remaining $$$. Doesn’t fix the salary cap though

Unfortunately with Hunt we didnt get what we were hoping for ....paid way over for what hes delivered on a consistent level.....lets hope moving forward we dont make the same mistake again

One would think that they have learnt their lesson by now in regards to enormous contracts for players whom were not quite in the elite category.

At this point Griffin has not continued along the same path as his predecessor who constantly paid overs for players whom were well pass their prime and perhaps also in ability .

Some of the players who represented the Big Red V on Monday should very quickly deposited whatever remains of their contracts into a financial institution as I am sure that there will be no upgrade anytime in the near future .

I think he's a good and occasionally very good player. Just not the halfback we thought he was. I'm hoping to see him shifted to 9 fulltime with Amone and Sullivan in the halves eventually

 

[Blood&Bandage]

Hard for our backs to do much when our forwards were pumped

Sims didn't have 1 hit up in the first 20 minutes

Both he and Vaughan are shadows of their former selves

Yep. Forwards win games…backs determine by how much.

I agree Gareth....well stated

Hunt threw a great cut out pass to Rava, who also had a quiet game, but he wasn't in position. Try time and it's a different game.

No but its a start and will give a young up and coming half some game time/experience

 

[I see Dragons]

Hunt is a reasonable half and a very good one behind a winning pack . . don't really have to say any more!

 

[Smurf]

He was very good tonight

 

[God-King Dean]

Yep, he was outstanding tonight
Now do it consistently

 

[Ghostface Killah]

Now do it consistently

Pretty much.

 

[j0nesy]

He’s been our best this year and was brilliant last night. I don’t think any footballer is worth his price tag but he is easily in the top 5 (maybe 3) halfbacks in the competition.

 

[Dragsters]

Now do it consistently

Pretty much.

The pack need to play like they did in the second half more consistently and I have no doubt he will...
