Ben Hunt

[Inisai Toga]

Clune’s no Hunt, but should hold his own. Imagine the confidence and self belief in the team if we knock them off. Bring it on!

Particularly if the knights win tomorrow and are undefeated going into clash.

That'll get the spoon punters nervous...

 

[Dragsters]

2-3 would be great news.

Potentially back for Anzac Day...

When it rains , it pours . Agree with with Dragon David - McCullough to take over the captaincy role and Clune to replace Hunt at half . A big spanned thrown in the works at this early stage , more so that the boys were just finding their feet , however I am sure that Griffin will not panic and will have a few ideas up his sleeve .

 

[Ted bartolo]

Hoping Sullivans ok.I would have Sims as captain.Clune on the bench.

My initial thoughts were Sims it may get him to fire again. But you need cool and calm to talk to the Refs so then I thought Norman ... or Lomax

 

[Gardenia]

So Bird and Hunt out for next week.

FFS

Not good . I so want to win that one for our good mate Frizz

 

[This Year?]

Captain's Curse strikes again.
Godspeed Benny.

 

[Slippery Morris]

Bird at 5/8, Williame at centre, Feagai in bench is my prediction. Bird looked very comfortable in the halves on Friday.

 

[MarkD]

Clune to 7 ... Norman must step up and own the ship... Sims captain... that’ll be it I’d say.

Bird at 5/8, Williame at centre, Feagai in bench is my prediction. Bird looked very comfortable in the halves on Friday.

For our next game against Newcastle:

• Bird suspended.
• Clune and Norman in the halves.
• McCullough as captain while Hunt is recovering.
• Max Feagai to left centre.
• Williame to remain on the bench.

I think Williame might start but otherwise agree.

 

[dragon thomo]

Yep Williame to start, Clune to half Fergjie to the bench.

 

[JohnnoMcJohnno]

Clune gets first go as replacement half.

Corey Norman for captain. It helped Hunt's game, maybe it will help Norman's, and I don't see him having any issue questioning the ref.

 

[possm]

I think Williame might start but otherwise agree.

You're most probably right. I just thought Williame can cover bothe forwards and backline from the bench.

Cant believe im saying it but yes. Norman with the Captaincy. Time for him to run the show whilst Ben recovers.

Well mate you would think and hope that Norman will be the man man to control our plays...... On the big money to do so .... Hook has a very high opinion of him so I think and hope that he responds to the faith that Hook has in him ...... Norman its time to justify your time here with the Saints ......

Yeah, I think that's why Griffin will give him the honour.
Its up to Norman, as you say, to respond. I think he will.

Every week in this "new" form of rugby league there will be so many ups and downs - wins/losses/injuries/suspensions. No one can predict what can happen in any game and somehow if your team has good balance of players covering the engine room and the backend, you have a very good chance to come out a winner under the new rules.

I am of the belief that Griffin has got the players to give us this good balance and I feel that he will be able to get all of the players working in sync without Hunt and luckily a short period without Birdy.

We have some depth and these setbacks of not having Hunt and Bird will allow the coaches to see what they can do in managing the squad to maintaining competitiveness so all will not be lost.

Like you say a balanced team , and its not that Hunt has been the man for the past 3 years or so .... He has been only good for the last 3 games .... So in a way its probably better if it had to happen and he is out , that its now ..... I think we will be ok , because of the coach ......
