Here is the thing with AD. He has an amazing ability to show some form and then have that form completely disappear.

He isn't good enough to play in the halves for us. He is too slow for the centres. He has done well playing at lock but it's like one game or so.

I hope he stays but we shouldn't be offering him good dollars.
Pretty well sums it up Tiger.
I think there is an element of self entitlement with AD.
When we were absolutely crapola a few years ago Adam was our hope.
He then had those horrific run of knee recos and now that he's back he wants to be the man again, and more money. Nothing wrong with that if he performs. Which he kinda had albeit with weakened opposition.
He did give us this year at a bargain price so that helped us.
I've always tried to be on his side but I think another year at 400k with a club option for a possible upgrade after that is a fair deal if it all works out with him at lock.
If he can get better elsewhere then ok. Let him go without causing a scene.

He is a problem player in that you have to figure out how to use him. He might be good for a club like Parra who could replace Brown with AD and get AD for say 500k and have him fill a role in the halves.

At our club he is going to play lock or utility or depth.

I hope he stays at fair dollars because he has been great for us this season. He has also been extremely poor for us over the course of his time here.

I think ATM, we need him (for his GK), more than he needs us.

I think we just get Api or someone else to kick.

I can't see him playing 80 minutes a game for us anyway so we are going to need another kicker.

If we get him on a fair amount then I think he is a good signing. The guy can win games for you. The problem is he isn't a marquee player and he has always considered himself a marquee player. He has also been playing pretty well for us and I think outplayed Galvin this season and maybe even Luai and Latu.

I don’t think it matters what AD wanted a year ago or how he played a year ago.. Fact is he’s won two recent games with his goal kicking and he’s outshone our marque spine recently and shown them how it’s done.. if I was deciding I’d be dwelling on that

He'd go well at the Dragons.
AD has done some special things for us in the past. He is competitive that's for sure and is improving somewhat.
I can't help thinking how good he could be right now if he didn’t have all those terrible knee injuries.
I'm happy whichever way we go with him as long as it's not overs.
Benji likes the guy so watch this space I guess.

It's a hard one, it's a contract year, is he pushing himself? but on current form, I like him to stay, but won't be gutted if he leaves.
The knee injuries are a problem, to sign him to long years.
I harp on it, but if we don't have a consistent GK, consistently in FG, then we are running to the cliff again.

We've been terrible this year. I think our biggest problem is a lack of grunt in the forwards.

I think we should just let AD go even though he has been one of our better players this season.

Hunt is needed big time but he was extremely disappointing.

He now offers us goal kicking, inside backs and lock depth.
The only reason I'd let him go is if he demands too much $.
I'd rather spend his money to go towards someone like Frizell for 2 years.

He is exactly what we need but he hasn't gotten it done. I just want 20 quality minutes per game. If he could give us 40 minutes that would be unreal but 20 minutes is enough.

He is back in the team this weekend. Let's hope he turns it around but I don't think it's likely.

You have to be so careful when signing players.

Players come on the market for a reason.
Gee, I'd run around out there for 20min until I fainted through exhaustion for the money he is on. :)
Hunt does a lot of walking :)
I feel guilty because I was saying from the outset that we should sign him.

I’ve got more chance of getting a contract than the unfit unmotivated slug Hunt has of suddenly becoming an indispensable asset for us who warrants selection in the nrl team.He is just another of the many lemons who’ve stolen an exorbitant income while holidaying at Concord
