Fair question CB.
My problems with both players vary. In regards to Wallace, I just believe he's an ordinary talent. If I was to judge him based on criteria, I'd imagine a lot of it would read 'fine' but barely any department of his game could be considered good or even great. He does a job and that's it. For a marquee player that simply isn't good enough for me. I also think he's terrible at organising our attack. At times, we look completely lost with him and the only play he seems capable of putting together is that third man shift to Norman which is pretty simple. Otherwise, he's responsible for us playing a boring one out brand of footy.
I honestly think Prince has been our worst player to date so far in 2013. His timing is terrible, kicking game mediocre and defensively he's giving the opposition a free ride basically everytime they run at him. I didn't have a problem with the club wanting to sign him in the hopes that it was the environment that had affected his game but it appears that he in fact was the root of the Titans problem. Aside from a decent passing game (when he times everything right) I don't think he offers anything other than a decent goal kicking percentage.
I'm not suggesting by any means that Hunt is going to fix us of all our problems. All those years of being developed as a hooker has stilted a lot of his skills and have prevented him from reaching his potential. However, I believe in the long term, Hunt can provide the team with the direction it's sorely lacking. His ability to organise in his brief stints allowed the Broncos to play their most attractive brand of football last year and I believe he could provide the exact same service this season if given the chance.
I also believe he has more vision than either player. As Chainshada stated, that kick for the corner was fantastic and his work in the Hoffman try should not go unnoticed either (a try by the way, Wallace nearly bombed).
Prince/Wallace will be named tomorrow under the belief that their combination is building and that they're the best halves in the squad at this present time. This could be true and I very much hope that they play to their ability but at this stage on what I've seen I don't believe they have that in them.
