12mths would be enough sample size to see if can cut it. Where did he play jnrs? I thought fullback. Burt did say last pre season Gutherson has the skills to play in halves. Halves these days are sometimes more game managers rather then silky skill playmakers. Lockyer was both.
Cronk also both leans more towards a game manager.
At worse Githerson will be ok. He can defend, supports well and can take on the line and pass. Heck most forwards can ball play now. Aslong as he doesnt force the ball and plays a restricted possesion style game and develops a bit of a kick i cant see an issue

You make it sound like just about anyone could play in the halves. I hope you're right.

That's a fair point. The difference also is that gutho is not having to be the dominant half. We still have Norman who should and will be in charge. I see gutho as needing to play a similar role to Michael Morgan. Time will tell, I just hope that if he plays poorly once or twice the knives don't come out.

Me too. Despite the fact that I've got reservations about him being successful in the halves (I reckon he's a brilliant centre, though) if Arthur starts with him I also believe that he should stick with him. He won't be any great f**k up - he's too good a player for that - I would just prefer if we had a specialist half-back to support Norman. But I would still like to see Gutho given every chance in the position. It will be a very interesting situation and I'll be cheering him on one hundred percent.

Hunt is a good player. He won't let any team down, and you can guarantee the Broncos won't leave him out of the team. Experienced NRL level halves that kick and defend well are a lot harder to replace than teenage outside backs with potential, like Hodges.

Hunt is only a bad signing if the Dragons paid big overs (as opposed to just slight overs), and we'll never know how much they paid.
