Don’t know why this topic still has legs considering he is now 1000-1 in coming back the next couple of years, nothing to see here!

I could handle another year of Hooks favourite sookAlthough I would welcome Wishart back to us, I feel it's a bit of a paper trail by the media.
Jerome Hughes just turned 30, and Wishart is the heir apparent.
Further, it would definitely mean Hunt would be here in '25, which would need akin to scrapping nails on a blackboard for us supporters.

WhateverWe would spend a lot of time in the "Who will replace Hunt in 2026?" thread.
If 2027 is the year he becomes available, give it a miss. There will be plenty of halfbacks available before then. We must send Hunt on his way now and replace him with a marquee halfback. I'd put Gutho at 6 and K Flanno at 7.Although I would welcome Wishart back to us, I feel it's a bit of a paper trail by the media.

I am of the opinion that if Kyle was not suspended for the last 4 matches (I'm still shitty about that) we could have won maybe two of those games with his ability to manage games. They are the breaks unfortunately.I'm just going to come out and say it.
You are all undervaluing KF as a half (except possum's last post)
He steered the roosters to 4th in 2020 as a game managing half
you can't expect the NRL no. 1/2 or 3 in every position
It's a TEAM game

KF + Gutho would work fine. But we still lack depth at 7.Agree
And that is playing 5/8 outside Hunt, not half.
No 5/8 outside of Hunt has ever been favoured by Hunt since Widdop.
Apparently KF is just a foil to Hunt
That's the whole problem
Curranty, thanks to Hunt, we are not maximising the best skills of either player.
I'm pretty sure that's the underlining issue that determined Hunt's "No extension'". He obviously continued to play 'Hook Ball' contrary to coaches wishes.
That's why I like the Cronulla options - both can play 6 (outside KF) or seven. Then the young LKT becomes back up?KF + Gutho would work fine. But we still lack depth at 7.
You are correct Dragonslayer , cannot ever see him arriving here , in fact we are more than likely to get Hughes on the rebound .Although I would welcome Wishart back to us, I feel it's a bit of a paper trail by the media.
