So, back to my original post, does Hunt back up on Saturday after last night? Or does Bud get a redemption game?

I think Hunt played all game, and it was a very high intensity game, it will be difficult to back up after that. I dont know if Hook will want to put Bud up against someone like Manu. Personally I think Hunt will want to play. This is just another crunch game that we have to win, and if we lose my feelings are we will fade badly again for the rest of the season.

My feelings are the same justa. I don't think our guys can sustain a full season of intense footy. We tend to drift in and out of our games with either no or minimal scoring in the first or second half of our games.

Generally we have done OK after a good start. If we score first, it gives us a purpose to defend the points. Other than Hunt directing the players, there isn't any one else who can dominate and ball play and get us moving down the field in our sets consistently. All it takes is for the opposition to nullify us from gaining ground and we get too frustrated and make mistakes and our energy levels drop and when we come to defend we miss tackles or they break our tackles.

The Roosters know that they need to start getting their act together and win several games on the trot to try and make the top 4. It therefore makes it harder for us to win.

I think hook will have to make changes to the 17
Maybe Sloan to wing and hmm in the forwards well there’s not much between the subs all plodders
Let’s persevere with J Hunt and M Molo they at least have upside

Hunt played a massive game on Wednesday in the middle. Even if he makes it through the Roosters game the fatigue will linger into the end of the season unless he gets some rest.

If Hook really wants to play him, maybe he could play 20 off the bench at 9?

Hargreaves to run into goal post and rebound into the ref and gets sent off after the bunker reviews the incident half a dozen times .

Robbinson tosses a tantrum and is sent to the sin bin , chooks then become a rabble thus ensuring a easy Dragon victory !

Dragons by 2 . 😇

If we're going to win this game and however many remaining games needed to play finals, it is going to have to be on the back of Ben Hunt. I hope his adrenaline from Wednesday helps him have a blinder tomorrow and then he finds another level to inspire the team to a top 8 finish this season.
