You most probably will be right on this one. I'm sure Griffin will be confident of turning Hunt back into a star halfback. If this happens I am sure the pairing will be Hunt/Sullivan. However, if Hunt continues to perform at a sub-standard level, I'm also sure Griffin will waste no time in trying to offload him.
I like the way you think and think it would be great if you were on the clubs recruitment staff.Bellamy could turn him into the best attacking centre in the game, Brenko to the wing. Easy.
At least if he is injured, he would not be selected whereas, Norman gets selected even though he performs like an injured player each game.That's the issue. We need him on the field to play and not in the club injured.
An edge player at over 800k would make him the most expensive edge player in the game. No, I see him as our fullback.

Unwanted Broncos star Jack Bird’s mooted move to St George Illawarra has hit a massive roadblock after Brisbane failed to issue the Dragons with a revised offer.
The Daily Telegraph reported the Dragons walked away from negotiations because the Broncos neglected to issue the club with a counteroffer after rejecting the deal on the table.
New Dragons coach Anthony Griffin was keen to lure Bird to the club, but after a week of silence from Red Hill chose to take the high ground and refused to engage with the Broncos.

NRL GF TEAMS: Mind games? Panthers recall star after shock axing to tackle Storm
The development is a disaster for Both Bird and the Broncos with the player keen to return home to Sydney having privately told friends a Dragons switch was imminent.
The Broncos also desperately need the cap space offloading part of Bird’s monster $975,000 contract would create to allow them to attain a more balanced roster.
It now appears that Bird will be forced to play out the remainder of his contract at the Broncos in 2021, before he can move to another club.

“There is a feeling among several clubs that Brisbane thinks ‘we’re the Broncos and if we want to move a player then we will’. It’s bullish and even arrogant.”
Bird has struggled with injuries since moving to the Broncos in 2018 having played just 17 games over three seasons and is coming off an ACL injury.

Clubs are wary of the 25-year-old’s injury history, but the Dragons were very interested in paying up to $675,000 of Bird’s deal for next season.
The Bulldogs are also in the hunt for Bird’s services, but will struggle to find the cap space if they get priority targets Kyle Flanagan and Josh Addo-Carr.

I'd say Griffin must have been very keen to sign Bird with an offer of 675k. I'd believe this is way over his market price and they are mad for laughing at the offer. I would sooner offer that money to JAC instead.
I have highlighted the figures in Red in the original article for you.

Yes I can imagine we have over 2.5m to spend. Just look at the players that have gone and then the players we have officially signed and you will soon come to the conclusion we are swiming in salary cap.
