Ben Hunt's kicking game .... FAAAARK

[maestro1]

He gets this right and we win today. His kicking game sux balls and probably the worst kicking game from a halfback in years

And yet your man the drug cheat coach gives himself a big pat on the back for keeping him at the club. Another grave error of judgement on his part!

Not Kh*unt's best game, that's for sure.

 

[FlickFlano]

Hunt can lay on a try, most of the time its either as a running 5/8 two off the ruck, a dummy half run/pass or off a hail mary kick in the vicinity of Lomax.

Dragons attack under Mary/Hook/Flano has been a disorganised rabble and that is all on the mistaken belief that Hunt is a game managing halfback. He just isnt.

The problem with trying to play him as a 6 though is that he will simply play the way he does now.

His best positions in order are Hooker, 5/8 if paired with someome who has the gravitas to be allowed by his royal highness to organise the team .. then daylight.

Play Hunt at 9, Liddle at 14, Kyle at 7 then anyone at 6. and you will be better than we are now.

Hunt single handedly cost us this game tonight.

 

[Gippsy]

Hunt's kicking game and last tackle option tonight were terrible. Surely he's only there because we have no one else that can play 7.

I'm happy with K*hunt at halfback, but he shouldn't be the go-to kicker every friggin' set.

I don't want Hunt gone. I want him to improve his kicking game. Every fxcking post is not about Flanno. Fxck you are obsessed. Give it a rest.

 

[SBD82]

This thread is very unfair to Hunt.

His passing game is also dogshit.

Why can't the coach get him performing to your wishes then? Surely a good coach could bring our the skills you want Hunt to have?

Remember his son plays in the halves too and he had some very ordinary kicking today.

The coach is responsible for individual player performances and honing their skills.

Memories of that other hoax with that dross kicking game, Garf Widderp.

Both pretenders.

Another post about Flanno.

I'm trying to work out whether you like or dislike Flanno. I can't make it out from your posts

 

[Dragon David]

We need a deadset playmaking half. We also need a couple of big bastard middle forwards who are hard to handle and tire the opposition. The Sharks players were told to defend and not let us gain too much advantage in attack and as such we couldn't score in the second half because of that and of course Ben Hunt not controlling the game.

It was a very disappointing game in the end for us. I was hoping that the half time score would be full-time but knew that we still had 40 minutes to go and again, we don't beat the Sharks - our big bogey team.

 

[ALX25]

Was dismal today.

 

[Miller was a legend]

Was better than Flanno’s

 

[maestro1]

As soon as JDB went off in the second half and Lawrie came on, our ruck defense weakened and Sharks waltzed upfield

 

[jeffdragon]

Shit again.

Ben Hunt is a 300 game NRL player who has had a stellar representative career. Yes his game has flaws, but I'd rather he play for us than against us. Other than a good 40/20 strike rate and a pretty good short kicking game on the opposition's tryline, his overall kicking game is pretty shyte. No coach is going to fix that.... Fxck, Bennett couldn't!!!

But it suits you to use the "Flanno hasn't been able to improve it" line as your hatred for Flanno is blinding you and making you embarrass yourself with your obsessive agenda. I suggest You start reading the room.

Let's look at what Flanno has improved......
1. Sloan's overall game
2. Lomax's overall game
3. 50% team turning up rate compared to about 20% last season
4. Frank Molo's overall game
5. Jacob Liddles overall game
6. Our left side defence
7. Our on line defence
8. Our overall attack. We are scoring more points per game
9. Moses Suli's overall game
10. Jayden Su'as overall game
11. Improved our overall squad with Luciano, Eisunhuth, RFM, Sele, Nu Brown and KFlann
12. Bird's still not my choice for centre but he has improved on his putrid, overweight, slow performances from 2023.
13. BMMs overall game
14. KFlann's game has improved from his time at the dogs.
15. I genuinely feel we are a chance every game, where last year I struggled to expect a win let alone a good performance
16. JDB played well last year, but has been awesome this season
17. Use of our bench is better this year.

What has gone backwards
1. Blake Lawries performances
2. Our kicking game, which was also shyte last year
3. Ravalawas performances (slightly)

Our 5th tackle options have been abysmal for years we lack creativity. Widdop has been our only good 5/8 in the last 5 years.

I don’t think we’ve had a genuinely dangerous, match winning 5/8 since Mundine.
