Hunt has asked for a release

[since77]

Looks like Ben & his manager dropped the ball during the negotiations and all the media leaks.....

I love Little's comment.

“He’s an Origin player and a bit of a leader so it’d be a big loss."

More truer words have not been spoken "a BIT of a leader".

I think no matter what we all think about this decision- its done now and whether we agree or not the club has finally done what weve all been wanting and shown some balls. The best thing now is to get behind them and at least start trying to get some happiness out of what has been a pretty dismal year. We’d all like to just be able to sit back and enjoy our footy and our team not have to watch this rubbish dog us for 6 weeks now. So lets hope this is a turning point and that were on the way up. Who knows- maybe this is what Hunt has needed to kick him into playing like the wage he gets. We’ll know soon enough- so lets go smash Cronulla first

Thanks Mojo. I'm a ford man so not interested in the Monaro, though I know it's worth bucks. It would be like asking me to support another team.

LOL

 

[Mojo]

Good point Gareth. What does it say about the club if they still name this bloke captain this week.

Says more about the man that he doesn't volunteer to relinquish the captaincy.

 

[Mojo]

But on football ability he ain't worth nothing.

Shhh. Don't tell them that. He's all sizzle and no sausage. Salespeople call it 'selling air'.

yeah... he's been on that track for about a decade though. I'm pretty sure he believes the hype - that he's already playing like a superstar and it's all the other bums in the side that are restricting him.

What would you realistic be happy with in a player swap for hunt with the titans?

Imo mofo/tino/d.fifita/brimson is unrealistic.

I love fermor, so happy to get him. He fills a need with left edge, athletic, big, good defensively & looks fit. Imo Sexton could be a very good halfback. They haven't developed him properly. Fermor + sexton or a young middle would be good imo.

 

[Nanadragon]

Sounds like a load of BS to me Nana

But he said stay and play the Sharks not the rest of his contract!

Oh FFS. Really! The Broncs found him and turned him into a superstar and now were being nasty to them by hanging on to him. Mwahhahahhah.

The first part on its own is utter crap!

This f***ing rubbish just continually plumbs new depths.

Agree...but let's at least applaud flanno and the club for not releasing him...

If he wants to go...titans can offer us 2 rep players...take it or leave it.

Absolutely. I enthusiastically applaud the decision.

My comments "Oh FFS...." was a cynical summary of the substance of the 'news' article. Pure crap it is.

Congrats to possibly the stupidest headline by what must be a clown called Andrew Reid. Check this out:-

"The Brisbane Broncos have been dealt a massive blow after St George Illawarra sensationally announced on Monday morning that they were blocking a request from Ben Hunt to leave the NRL club."

What a twat!

 

[Inisai Toga]

There are some really good points of view from many on this forum. Why do we keep posting and commenting on pieces of rubbish that no one has any respect for all the time…. Just ignore the crap!

 

[baggygreen man]

We have an opportunity to experiment with some combinations.

Like what. Lomax full back, Sloan in the halves, Suli edge forward, Rava in the pack, piss off Bird, BMM, Fegai, replace them with the Couchman twins or Toby and Tuitavake, Sione Finau for Fegai, Tamale for Suli. Make Jack our skipper.

 

[baggygreen man]

Imo Sexton could be a very good halfback.

Only the single Firsts match this year. He has a good defensive record, unlike our current half.
