Roos: Mini out- Hunt in

[Mr Saab]

Honest question for the Brisbane fans - don't bother answering Locky, you're too biased - in particular Saab. Would you actually rate Hunt as good under the high ball? From what I've seen it's a weakness in his game as well. He does have the height though...I suppose Stuart was worried about the big Kiwi wingers getting the jump on Bowen.

Hunt is no Tim Brasher/Brett Mullins under the high ball, but he is ok.
His bigger weakness is ability to turn and chase. He is too big to be a fullback...his future is at lock

 

[Tigertread]

Isn't the kiwi fullback actually australian as well??

He sure is, born and bred.

 

[Razor]

Absolute joke.

Should be Inglis.

Hunt has now replaced Paul Hauff as the worst player to ever play for Australia

 

[HoLLuS]

I had originally hoped, but alas it seems true!

 

[The Camden Leisure Pirate]

Hunt is the only fullback since Matt Gorgonson (sp?) that continually
Shows opposition players the side line only to be
Out run and made to look a fool.
Poor selection

Brett Stewart has been safe as houses under the high ball this year - and has been ever since he was embarrassed by the Broncos early last year. Put him in there!

 

[Mr Saab]

Hodgson is No.1.

The most experienced of all candidates and 2005 fullback of the year !

Where have you been lately? He is out with a broken hand.

I think hunt is very safe under the high ball but his chasing ability is a bit suss.

You are going to get slammed as that is ridiculous.
What colour skin does Hunt have?????????????????????????????????

A lot of racism toward aboriginals isn't solely based on the colour of their skin, just their race. You'll find a lot of racist comments about Aboriginals from people that never direct such comments to any other race, dark skinned or not.

You're right it probably is ridiculous, so I should withdraw the comment; it's not fair to accuse the selectors of racism. I'm just struggling to find a reason as to why Hunt was picked. Anyone got one?

Mini will no doubt front up for Easts on sunday.


Isn't the kiwi fullback actually australian as well??

Yep.
NZ have a NZ resident, Indigenous Australian at fullback.
Australia have an Australian citizen, Indigenous New Zealander at fullback.

So? Both love the country they live in.

Billy Slater would be absolutely filthy.

 

[Scott]

I like Hunt. He has played very well for a month now. He is going to be an outstanding player.

He is also going to get smashed on Friday night. I'm tipping a 1998 Lockyer like shocker from him.

That said, he'll bounce back.

Bring on Friday. How good is it going to be???

 

[El Diablo]

is Beetson still a selector?

 

[Scott]

Billy Slater would be absolutely filthy.

What about???

He is under suspension!

 

[Jordan]

This is unbelievable. Hunt will be lucky to not be taken from the field in a stretcher..... or a f**king hearse for that matter...

 

[Danish]

He sure is, born and bred.

Great stuff.

An Aussie fronting up as the NZ fullback, and a Kiwi lining up in the Aussie no.1.

On top of that neither are in the top 5 fullbacks in the game.

Let the battle for mediocracy begin!! :lol:

no hes not that great, but like every player he has a weakness, what he loses in that part of his game he makes up in others...

 

[The Camden Leisure Pirate]

He is under suspension!

That’s what I mean mate.
If he wasn't suspended I’d say he would have got the call up...

Thats ok.
Re Hunt being picked? I have no idea. Although you cant blame Bennett for it. Ask Fulton and McCarthy among others.

 

[waltzing Meninga]

Hodgson is No.1.

The most experienced of all candidates and 2005 fullback of the year !

yes bt he is unavailable so I din't put him on the list
