Expected reply as you not able to substantiated your opinion. You should acknowledge the fact that you make things up and have zero proof or evidence of what you ever post.

Like how Dominic Young and Spencer Leniu are able to receive a long service player allowance, for playing in under 5 seasons in the NRL, please your one to talk... you are the king of make believe, then try to bully everyone else and throw out legal jargon as if we give 2 hoots, when you don't like your clubs dirty laundry gets brought up, just accept your clubs a rort

Never said that at all and again you make claims which you are unable to substantiate and which are false. If you have evidence post it here.

Maybe don't try and swindle the forum with BS of 10 players using a long serving player allowance, and people might take you seriously, just admit it your club is a rort, the Sydney rorters

Roosters have struggled against top sides and in general really because we lack a good spine. We've had players like Lachlan Lam, Kyle Flanagan, Sandon Smith, Drew Hutchison, a struggling Luke Keary and others line up as regular spine players whilst Melbourne and Penrith have had the likes of Papenhuyzen, Grant, Cleary, Luai, Edwards, Munster and Hughes, of course we've lost 20 in a row to them.

A half has become available, 20 games of Origin, 15 games for Australia, has single handedly won the Dragons games before, almost 350 first grade games but not seeming to be slowing down or becoming more injury prone, 4 time Origin winner, a World Cup winner. Why not sign him? Because he bottled a grand final 10 years ago and because he lost by a point to a superior team without his halves partner back in 2018? Come onnnn.

At the end of the day a halves combination of Ben Hunt and Sam Walker could win a comp and could trouble Penrith or the Storm. Chad Townsend and Sam Walker or Sandon Smith and Sam Walker is at best going to run 5th or 6th. Ben Hunt needs to be a high priority signing for the Roosters preferably until the end of the 2026 season.

Tell me you didn't watch any Dragons games in 2025 with a view on game management, without telling me you didn't watch any Dragons games in 2025 with a view on game management.

Ben Hunt is not the answer to the Roosters problems. Firstly, there is no guarantee Hunt will be able to sign elsewhere for 2025. So far the Dragons have given him permission to open negotiations early for 2026.

Secondly if Hunt was available, Walker will be out half the season, and Brandon Smith for longer. A 35 year old halfback who also had the highest mistake rate in the NRL for 2024 will not cover those two being missing. Additionally, he's also shown a proclivity to go missing in big games in crunch time (2015 Grand Final anyone?).

Finally, Hunt expects big money and a multiple year contract. He's not worth that investment, which he is finding out due to the lack of reported interest in signing him by any club.
