Article by the Mole on how we stuffed up letting Hunt go.
Couldn't upload it.
Sorry
I honestly don't know how Tony Adams continues to eke out an existence as a journalist. His writing tone is juvenile, and he is out to lunch on his assessment of nearly every situation, this one included. As Flanno has said, "we move on"

The straw that broke the camels back.

It’s said that Flanno calmed him down post Hook, but behind that, Flanno simply wouldn’t release him.

I think Flanno realised that Hunt was a means to have a fair first season for Flanno and for the good of the club.

So he kept him and at least for awhile the Flanno/ Hunt matrix kept the ship afloat, albeit rolling from side to side.

The review happens ( flanno is not a rookies again man) and Hunt is deemed to be underachieving, especially for his price.

And hes slammed from pillar to post, takes gross offence and then sulks off to his mates niggling at Flanno and Kyle (weak).

Then he’s “ well there will be no pre-season for me” and it’s milkshake time.

“ No one is bigger than the club” is a clear signal to Hunt that Flanno thinks he’s a dickhead.

Flanno has a lot of respect in the game and it’s rare that he shirtfronts people individually publicly . He will go hard on the team as a whole, but he usually praises individuals if they deserve it, not scalps individuals.

Let's end the Hunt post for good he has officially now left the club its a happy dragons day for all .
The interest will wear off over time, but I think the wake will party on for a bit longer until the ducks are in a row with replacements

I think it’s wholly unlikely and illogical that Flanno would have pulled the Hunt trigger without making some arrangements with player/s somewhere beforehand.

It seems to me it could be Gutho who Flanno met with yesterday before he sacked Hunt.

Gutho wants 3 years, but I hope Gutho was sensible about the cash. He should sacrifice a bit to be part of the club that he will fit into like a glove, where he will be respected and is on the up.

Gutho is a showman, loves a bit of reverence and sparkle and he’d be great for SGI.

All the Saints side of the past ( I’m not ignoring Illawarra) there was always a bit of a confident hop or little skip running out onto the park.

Gutho was made for that.

On that Rooster May business, I reckon there’s a scandal in there somewhere. I hope he’s not a convicted pervert or allegedly bashes small women like his siblings. Hopefully he’s the black sheep of the family.
