Not really.

He had a poor end to the season and is a known f**k up. But he is worlds ahead of Toby Sexton.

Dragons fans trying to convince every other rugby league fan that the guy who had the most try assists in the comp by an absolute mile is actually really shit is incredible viewing

It's a Dargons thing.

Hunt is exactly what the Dogs need. They were no hope last year because he wanted to return to QLD but the story has changed. They absolutely should overpay if it means they secure his signature for 1-2 years.

Terrible advice.

If the clubs secures Hunt for as little as 1-2 years and that cost the continued development of Toby Sexton and a 2-3 years short fall after Hilunt leaves and before Woods is actually ready would be a terrible result for the club.

So youre happy with them as your starting halves?
Not a huge fan of Flange jnr.

Don't mind Ilias. Got more development and upside in him. Hopeful his ACL recovery is going well and he hasn't lost any pace. Hope he doesnt do another ACL injury.

I believe these young halves take time to develop and when they come into first grade young and don't continue on an unrealistic trajectory, they are too easily cast aside.

I hope we find a complimentary 5/8 for Ilias, but not holding my breath as coaches son and all that.

Would have preferred our experienced half could have overseen development and transition of the young halves coming through, but Hunt was toxic, so had to go. Only got a few years left in him anyway. Good luck to him chasing a comp, but he could have managed his exit better, as could the club... use the merkin as trade bait rather than let him walk, but I reckon its for the best.

I would also prefer to see where Hunt lands to see if we could prize something loose, but who would that be? Sexton or SOS or Hastings or the Chad? Slim pickings out there.

Toby Sexton isn't a first grade half.

He is a stop gap measure. The Dogs haven't had a proper half for a very long time. Hunt will be a breath of fresh air.

I'm not into this Matt. It's laborious.

Some others will argue with you at this level I don't have the bandwidth for it.

Anywho, from better Rugby League mind than you and I.

Canterbury supremo Phil Gould was viewed as a potential wildcard after missing out on Storm ace Ryan Papenhuyzen, but the Bulldogs are not as keen as the Broncos or Dolphins.
The Bulldogs have yet to make a formal offer for Hunt, prepared to wait and see if he is available at a reduced rate.

Bulldogs coach Cameron Ciraldo also believes there is upside in rising playmaker Toby Sexton, who performed admirably in steering Canterbury to the finals last season.
