I think he will go well as he does for QLD
Why? He is not the main man and surrounded by a Much better squad.across the field.. let’s face it
How many games do you think Reynolds will play? Going on season 2023 and 2024, Out of 27 rounds, he might scrape half. That means Bunt will have to steer the ship for a large chunk of the season. Dragons fans know that Bunt doesn't know how to steer the ship. He is a runner, doer, not a thinker. There has never been much thought to Benny's game. He is a reactor. He is one of the best reactive players. This will fit in beautifully whilst Reynolds is on the field. However, if Reynolds goes down, "thinking Ben" will be overwhelmed.

He’s always, always been a 6 IMO. If he ever accepts this and plays outside a great 7, he’ll be very good.

“Thinking Ben” lol, wonderfully expressed.

Here is thinking Ben publically expressing his surprise at being roundly disliked south of the Currumbin Bird Sanctuary


Long live “thinking Ben”

All the insight of a Rusty 1960’s wing nut.

Having the opportunity to link with Reyno and start working on a plan on how we can really gel is something I’m really looking forward to.”

“My priority is to play in the halves, but hooker definitely isn’t an issue. Wouldn’t it be great to come back 10 years later and win a premiership with that great club?
“I do believe they’ve got the troops there to do it.”


Can you believe it 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

I understand from the fish wrappers that Hunt believes he can get young Walsh playing at another level.

Possibly. A level lower.
Yes, he’s gone from wanting to be “just a part of the side” to being the “golden immortal sage and home grown saviour” in the space of a couple of days.

Up until recently, I thought it wasn’t possible for a person to stick their head so far up their own ass.

I’ve heard (obviously untrue) rumours his deal included a job post career.

It seems Madge is already moving the chess pieces that way.

Publicly:

Say it’s all serious and he’s going to learn tough lesson ( no salary changes btw).

Get him off to rehab to use drugs as an excuse.

Say it’s long process and other bullshit.

Privately:

Keep him on the books, keep him fit, minimise his club suspension…

It’s a bit closer to home for you thanks to the Junior Amone thing.

If Mams drug reading was off the charts, I’d probably boot him out of the game.

So he didn't know he was being portrayed as that, its now quite obvious he never spoke to a Dragons supporter.
Reminiscent of Lomaxs 3 billionth game jersey presentation.

Thanking the whole club for turning up to the esteemed occasion, which if I am not mistaken, actually consisted of his close family, JBD, 3 boxing friends and the mascot who seemed drunk at the time.

Can we please let this thread sail into the sunset....no longer with us....
I don’t think the corpse is cold enough especially where he continues to denigrate and demean the club.

He obviously had no idea of the stature and standing of the captaincy of SGI.

Whatever the personal shortcomings of anyone, once you are called to that role, you ‘ken conduct yourself accordingly.

And you think about the heritage and sacrifices by people over many decades.

And former players with chronic and painful injuries who gave their all for the club.

And those who drape the colours over their coffins and have their ashes played upon.

Im sorry, but who the f**k does he think he is?
