KW. To think that our BOD figured Hunt would be an adequate replacement for Wids, they were deluded. They sh've done everything in their power to keep him from returning to England.
Poor sod will require plenty of rest , can you imagine the mental angst that he has gone through ?Just wondering how many weeks downtime does Flanno now have?
Adam Reynolds kicked 3 field goals in that game to beat us. Ben has 1 field goal in over 300 games. That's what we are dealing with lDidn't they thrash Broncos in the first final and then lose by one point in the next? Surely that's a fair result. Having said that, I'd still move him on if we could and buy a forward.
This is the thing to remember when people start dissecting this season and why we finished the way we did.One finals appearance in seven seasons. The last remanence of the McGregor-era. It really is time to seriously consider moving on.
Surely Cook could play 6 or 7 with young Fano.The game against Manly when they had 4 injuries and no reserves. I believe we were up at halftime, but DCE took control of the game with his kicking and that was the end of it.
That along with another earlier game against Newcastle in the wet, where he was completely out played by Hastings and Cogger.
With Cook and Liddle next year, our attack play is going to start with either those two. We don’t need Hunt. Just need a 7 who can direct us around the park with a decent kicking game. Doesn’t have to be a world beater.
My '24 Report card.
Sloan: a big improver, still a work in progress in some defensive aspects. 7/10
Lomax: had a bumper final year. 8/10
Suli: another big improver. 7/10
Bird: Filled in adequately when needed. Still messes the play when he tries too hard.6/10
Rava: Worst ever season 5/10 was dropped for CT 6/10
Flanagan: Lacks class but never stops trying 6/10
Hunt: showed poor leadership, diminishing skillset. 5/10
Molo: An enigma who fails to consistently use his size and power. 6/10
Liddle: our unsung hero, tackles everything and can put us on front foot with his dummny half darts. 8/10
De Belin: All I can say is thank goodness we have him 9/10
Su'A: our third big improver. 8/10
Leilua: needs to offload some kilos and with good service to his edge he will be unstoppable. 7/10
Eisenhuth: A good defender but lacks impact with ball in hand. 6/10
Off the bench the Couchman twins were the pick. 7/10
Mike Molo 7/10, RFM 6/10. Feigai twins 6/10 offense 3/10 defense.
1 more year, just suck it up I say, he ain’t going nowhere.
Depends on what the board decide with his decision not to let Hunt go.Just wondering how many weeks downtime does Flanno now have?
Hey RVH, its always nice to look back at our history, and what have we got to do in the off season, good on you for doing it or at least wanting to.DD, Justa, DW and any other interested parties, do I create a pre '99 REDV Nostalgia thread or leave it to next season?
Yes. Smashed Broncos by about 40Didn't they thrash Broncos in the first final and then lose by one point in the next? Surely that's a fair result. Having said that, I'd still move him on if we could and buy a forward.
I hope you’re right Tuddy. He’s been the common denominator in our slide to mediocrity.Just watched the press conference and saw Flanno saying we need winners next year. Pretty sure that was a swipe at Hunt directly. He also inferred there would be plenty of unexpected changes to the roster in the next few months.
I believe Flanno spent the season trying to build Hunts confidence up in an attempt to try and turn things around but has given up now for sure. I fully expect him to do everything he can to try and unload Hunt in the next few months.There’s no way he will re-sign him now.
I’ve seen Boyd play some really deplorable games but I strongly suspect there’s a talented halfback deep inside. I reckon Flano could do the job on him.If Widdop had been there yesterday we would have won. Hunt can’t control a game , he is wasted money as I said earlier I’d take Boyd from the GC as a swap just to be rid of him. We all know that if he is Captain and 1/2next year it will be same sh#t different day.
If Hunt had anything between his ears, he would be able to discern what Flanno was saying. I really don't think he's that bright!I hope you’re right Tuddy. He’s been the common denominator in our slide to mediocrity.
As I've already stated, so undervalued, so underappreciated!!! I think the guy's a potential gun if he can maintain his fitness.What’s the go with Lomax? No fanfare for his last game. I didn’t see any of his teammates even giving him a pat on the back. Maybe I just missed it all.
Also, I reckon Liddle is proving to be one of the best 9’s in the comp.
