Ben Hunt

[Dragons4me]

I really like Hunt at 9 and McInnes at 13. Both players are contributing more in defence and attack.

Hunt still turns the ball back looking for a runner too many times for my liking. It's too predictable given we're not a team of hole runners. At times we fall back into the bash and barge for 5 and kick on the 6th but when we do give the ball some air (I think that's Clune's influence there) it looks pretty. But Hunt's inclusion at lock compliments our spine so at least that's promising.

I like Hunt's inclusion at hooker and McInnes at lock. Even if De Belin is able to return, I'd be inclined to slot him in with Vaughan as our run-on props with Merrin and Kerr on the bench in our prop rotation.

Very bad news guys, Ben Hunt has a Broken Fibula, no current time table for this return he’ll need to see a specialist on Monday. Very gutsy playing on the way he did he must be gutted.

You should do this yourself in future.

Hunt is one tough hombre.

Norman needs to bring more of the type of play he produced last night, consistently...

 

[jeffdragon]

Hunt was limping in last week's game.

 

[blacksafake]

F**k not good

 

[SnowDragon]

So, what’s the status of Clune and Sullivan?
Injuries?

 

[TruSaint]

So Bird and Hunt out for next week.

FFS

Injuries?

Clune is good to go, but will play tomorrow but Hunts injury may change that, however, he does need some match fitness.

Bud is still out injured.

 

[jeffdragon]

Things can change quickly.
Today a big blow with Ben and birdy.suspended.
Ot Kerary gone too.

Unfortunately for us we will be without our skipper for several weeks and it will be up to our players to regroup now that we have lost Hunt to injury and Bird being suspended, luckily only for a week.

A new captain needs to be picked who can lead the players on the field and I guess that can be McCullough.

In any given year we know that many players get injured either on the field or in training - McInnes for example.

Roosters will be without Keary and the list goes on every weekend for all other clubs so it is the survival of the fittest and having the right reserves to come in. Luckily in the case of Bird for that week we have Williame or one of the Feagai boys and for Hunt we have Clune and a little later maybe, Bud so we have some cover I guess. But losing Hunt and Bird so early in this comp will hurt.

Big blow, looks like a lot of clubs are suffering injuries right now. At least Bradman Best is out for newcastle next week and they are weak defensively on that left side without him, I would have Norman attacking there with lomax.

Im pissed off at the injury but am also curious to see how we go without Ben.
His form was great, but i still think we may surprise a few.

Anyway, speedy recovery please and lets see where we are in 4-6 weeks.

Faaaark, just when there’s light at the end of the tunnel a train hits us. Hope Hook can keep us on the rails.

 

[Gold_Coast Dragon]

I am a big Clune fan. Bring it on!

Jeez...Hunts broken leg is a nasty surprise....just when there was some joy in the camp.....still the game is so fast now and the 6 again rule is not doing any players any favours, sadly theres going to be a lot lot more Im afraid.....its always been a heavy contact sport but add the xtra stress on the body from repeat sets and it takes its toll
