Hunt and Graham interviews

[Saintsified]

If true about Hunt leaving , Mary has ruined a international player within a season .....

Within months, was fine two months ago.

That's what happens when you have a coach with no plan B when things go pear shaped players struggle with the power game he plays , when it doesn't work it affects players ......

 

[Old Timer]

Far too many interviews
Tell the press to f**k off and the players should just concentrate on football
If the press want interviews then our management should tell them to talk to Greenberg and ask why the Bulldogs players got such piss arse fines compared to the $125,000 they hit Mitchell Pearce with

Both Hunt and Graham adopted the Boyd method of reply in an interview.
“Tell them what they need to know only.”

I call bullshit on Hunt wanting to leave.
My source tells me he is here to stay.

If true post it in the "Recruitment doing a great job" thread.

Is there really one?

Tomato or barbecue?

Seriously though, if your source is correct, Hunt’s body language indicates otherwise.

 

[Dragonslayer]

Seriously doubt he is or even wants to leave. He is in his first year of a 5yr multi-million dollar contract. When he signed with us one of the point was the stability of playing for the next 5yrs. I cant aee that evaporating after 1 season even under McGregor.

Further, he would have to request a release, which I doubt we would grant. Also, which team would be able to pick up his supposed price tag? Unless he severly discounts himself and why would you, aftet all he also has to think of his family and life after football.

Both he and Graham looked like this media committment was a pain in the a*^e, something they didnt need but had to. Preping for the game was more a priority imo.

Hunt probably wants out (basing off body language/ unconvincing in interviews/ his abysmal kicking game) but will stay because of the money he is promised versus the money another club would pay on his post origin form. He'd be silly.

Great minds think alike.

Methinks too many folk on here are reading too much into this.

Hunt has been deathrided by the media.

Do you think based on that he’d be overly excited to speak to any of them?

 

[cussy]

Pffft we have body language experts now.......

**Ben Hunt interview ends**

Dragons forum: “Oh my god, he’s done. Mary’s broken him. We’ve wasted our cash and we can’t offload him anywhere else. He’ll just walk away and we’re left without a halfback next year. It’s clear we can’t win on Sunday as he’s mentally shattered. Clearly can’t be bothered playing anymore. We’re destined for the spoon next year! All this wasted time and effort and our players don’t even want to play for us anymore.”



Hunt: “Thank f**k that’s over. I hate interviews. Time to head to training so we can smash the Broncos like we did in rd 1”

 

[Saint_JimmyG]

Pffft we have body language experts now.......

You don’t think Hunt has looked SERIOUSLY deflated over the past few months?

As an example, do you recall his expression after punching the ball well over the dead ball line in the recent match against Canterbury?

One doesn’t need to be an “expert” when something is palpably clear.

Actually heading south to the Storm

Mate can’t work out how to link.
Hunt’s IV is on the nrl site, JG was on nine news last night.

Thanks ol mate

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

Boyd sticking up for Hunt. Could be the confidence builder he needed. Hopefully will rue that decision, Hunt for a big one!

Hope your right....could be a bit of adding more pressure as well

 

[OzDragon]

The media’s been hanging shit on Hunt for a few months but now they’re saying it’s all the fans fault and we should leave him alone.

Admittedly there are portions of Dragons fans who are utter f**kwits, just like any other team has, but to pin the vitriol on Dragons fans is just plain wrong imo.

Maybe the media in general should focus on Hunt’s, and the teams, abilities rather than hanging shit on them for a bad decision here and there.

Furthermore, maybe don’t go on social media and expect intelligent life forms. What is said on those channels is said by those with more fingers than IQ points.

Maybe all crap Hazz re him leaving....as I said he didnt look unhappy when we were on top of the table.....theres also a difference between being homesick and genuine depression so one has to be careful how we judge him I guess....

Either way, I do respect Boyd for sticking up for a mate. Good on him, even though he is a Qlder and plays for my most hated team.
