How many rounds into the season before Wallace

...loses his starting job to Hunt?

 

[Big Pete]

If he plays poorly I'd say 5.

But to be fair, last season Wallace basically played injured the entire time.

 

[gUt]

Wallace is going to be a gun this season.

 

[Steve_oneskie]

Hope he is ok and players a lot better than last season, but Hunt will be pressing hard in the trials and his form to the end of last season was very good it will be interesting to see how they both play in the trials both now knowing hey need to impress.

Ben or Justin?

Is Justin Hunt a genuine contender does anyone know?

 

[screeder]

I think you just answered your own question.

 

[GoTheBroncs]

haha it does appear that way.

So I assume then that Justin is not in the "hunt"? It's hard to guess the bolters, e.g. Gillette from last year.

 

[Big Pete]

Reed sounds like the big bolter this offseason.

It's been said before but I'll repeat it ...

At the end of last year's season Bruno Cullen said that Peter Wallace could have been totally justified not playing at all in 2010 due to a shoulder injury.

But he played anyway.

Injury free Peter Wallace will be the first choice halfback ... no brainer. Injury free he earned a NSW spot. Class player. Brisbane is fortunate to have Wallace and a player of such potential as Ben Hunt.

Agree 100%.

Well put

 

[beads6]

Depends on Wallace and his form and how Hunt is playing in QLD cup. I think it would do a world of good to Hunt to play lots of games inside Lockyer before he retires.

 

[applesauce]

If he can replicate his 2009 finals form before breaking his ankle against the Dragons we will be fine.

Yeah good for him playing injured, it showed.

Last season wouldve been great to groom Hunt instead of putting Wallace out there at underdone.

Hopefulyl for the Broncos sake, Wallace gets back to his best and creates some good competition for positions in the halves.

 

[Big Pete]

Hunt wasn't even QCup standard.

 

[andrew057]

Hunt was very impressive towards the end of the season for the Broncos and was much better then Queensland Cup imo, not to mention he played quite well a hooker during the season.

 

[APRIL BELLE]

Hunt wasn't even QCup standard.

I think that is harsh. He is Qld Cup standrad but porbably no better, not yet anyway. Wallace played injured last year. Hunt isn't anywhere near Wallace in ability, probably never will be.

 

[Crushermaul]

no chance...Hunt has a better shot at McCullough's hooking role. We desperately need Wallace and McCullough to stand up hopefully injury free this year if so we can definitely make the top 4 that's as far as i'll go.:crazy:

 

[hellteam]

Hunt was struggling in the Q Cup at the start of last year..to be honest what he needs is an extended run playing at halfback in the Q Cup. I just don't think 10-20 min stints off the bench in first grade is helping him at all in the long run. he needs to learn how to guide a team for 80 min, sure he did it in 20s but that is a far lower standard than Q Cup.

 

[Packy]

Someone has ruined Hunt. He would defintely be one of those players who could come back to bite you if release him.

all true but he was going quite well at the end of last season in first grade. He will start in QLD cup and if he is firing we need to get him in the team.
