Flanagan / Hunt - Explain that.

[justadragon]

Hearing the knives are also out for Adam Reynolds.

Dare we propose a like for like swap 2025

Thats a scary prospect HOD, lot of injuries there.

True and I figure we've enough older talent recruited already but Desperate times require desperate measures, and I cannot emphasize enough how desperate I am to see the back of Hunt.

 

[dungay dragon]

Na the media blowing it up although it was a possibly before the spray anyway
He is not the first club elite player to be sprayed by his coach in front of the cameras in recent times
Bellamy gave Grant (as captain) what looked like a spray earlier in the year in the sheds on camera
Does anyone know what Flanno said?.
He might of said
"the way the other 16 played out there we are doubling your salary for 2025. You were the only one that tried"
Hunt just felt bad for the others and embarrassed naturally and said I accept.

If Buzz runs with the Hunt Exit door tonite on 360 , we will all know its on the cards
Gets all the news from Flanno before anyone else
Must have a back up plan in mind
The Gutho re positioning is still bubbling along at the Eels
Your no 2 paid player being asked to move aside for a rookie Panther coming to the Club
More to this
will be interesting

Good call.. lets see if anything comes up tonight.. I dont think the forum narrative will match reality (it rarely does), but Buzz is Flannos mouth-piece.

The signing of Gutho by the Dragons would be interesting if it happens. I can picture Gutho at 5/8th and K Flanno at half. Hunt who?

 

[dragon thomo]

Yep I also reckon If we signed Gutho he would play 5/8. I also would not bother if Hunt packed his bags.

What about the Slap?

No. Both Reynolds and Hunt are capable of a great game but their age means they do it less often and consistently.

This could be close to the money. Achieves alot. Do you give Gutho the captaincy?

 

[Dragon David]

Yes, why not? To me he has been a game manager for quite a while and is a good talker. Something that Hunt isn't.

 

[Sloan Ranger]

I agree. I think it's a good idea. New coach with new captain, no baggage. Might help sign RCG too.

 

[Saints supporter]

No to Gutho, all heart but he's worn out and slow.

 

[Sloan Ranger]

No to Gutho, all heart but he's worn out and slow.

Yeah, I noticed his lack of pace on Saturday. Thought he might get away with it in the halves. If we are going to move Hunt on we need a leader. Not sure there is one in the current crop.

 

[<StGeorgeDragons>]

Corey Allan has more upside to Gutherson at this point. We still need another quality back - Feagais and Rava have had chances, Sloan too. Yet to be convinced on any of them. They are fine as fill ins but we need someone with brains, pace and killer instinct who is not a turstile.

 

[Sloan Ranger]

Here's a thought.

Who wins?

Our pack with the NSW origin backline
or
Our backline with the NSW origin forward pack.

I think the latter, every day of the week.

We need forwards, anything else can wait.

 

[Gourley's Socks]

Thats a scary prospect HOD, lot of injuries there.

I understand where you're coming from but I look at it this way: Hunt is on the field for 20 games a year - only two or three are any good. Reynolds might only be on the field ten games a year but at least six of those are good.

On that basis, Reynolds for Hunt would be a net positive despite the injuries.

 

[possm]

A Reynolds for Hunt swap (1 or 2 seasons) would be our best bet for getting rid of Hunt at this stage.

Watching what Jerome Hughes does on a football field just rams home to me, the absolute imposter Ben Hunt is as a halfback...
