Good team, is Hunt a good five-eighth ? if he is i think he will help Walsh's game.

no.
He is an average centre, an average 5/8 and an average hooker - but a good utilty player.

In saying that Knights 9, i wonder who roopy is looking at, he had a great game last week and scored an unbelievable try. I heard he got players player aswell so not sure what roopy is looking at!

 

[single_newy_chick]

And he was Player of the year in Flegg last year!!!

 

[roopy]

Hunt is very versatile, but i just don't think he is outstanding in any position.
He is a guy who could genuinely have a go at playing any position on the field. He is big enough to play prop, fast enough to play in the backs, and skillful enough to play in the halves - but for every position there is someone who will do the job better.

 

[single_newy_chick]

A bit like any utility i spose roopy. But i take your point.

Hey where is Chris Bailey playing? he isn't in FG or PL? and he isn't injured? Typo maybe??

 

[Misanthrope]

Isn't he on standby for the first grade side?

 

[single_newy_chick]

yeah but even if he was on standby, you would think he would still be named in the PL side!

 

[knights9]

yeah but even if he was on standby, you would think he would still be named in the PL side!

Not really, he would be training with the first grade team so he technically apart of it.

Premier League - Knights v Dragons - Full time score 16 all

 

[Misanthrope]

Somewhat questionable decision from our man Des La Harris at the end. With the clock down to a handful of seconds Newcastle were awarded a scrum. The boys lined up for it but the ref deigned not to call time off. We would have had one last crack at a field goal.

 

[Frederick]

He actually did call time off, but then saw that the clock read 0:00, so he just called an end to it.

 

[Misanthrope]

He actually did call time off, but then saw that the clock read 0:00, so he just called an end to it.

Yeah, I saw that, but he should have called time off when they got there - with about three seconds to spare.

 

[Jobdog]

He called time off before the siren went. Therefore under my understanding, he should have still packed the scrum down.

 

[Ben]

He probably got a word in to Chris Ward to award that Hornby try.

 

[knights9]

wow good to see our team could keep up with one of the best teams in Premier League, would of been better if we won.

 

[benno]

enough about the reff...bloody good effort by the boys..hope this is there turning point and they go ahead with there actual potential now!!
