I'd only sign Bird if he's hellbent on throwing himself into it and not just to give him a spot just for his experience....we've gone down that track enough times to know where it mostly always ends up
It's worrying that we are even contemplating it hey.Bird will be a rebirth of Joey Leilua, Adam Blair, James Tamou, Braith Anasta in Black n Gold all rolled into one. No thanks.
I first started on the Hunt band wagon here back in June but intact I was asking for his signature a couple of years ago elsewhere.
The drums are getting louder.
I agree with the way to use him. Hunt is not a big minutes man. He'll need to be used for impact stints.I first started on the Hunt band wagon here back in June but intact I was asking for his signature a couple of years ago elsewhere.
Take a look at this vid and tell me in what game/s did the now big money earner Stefano Utoikamanu play like this. We should be able to get Royce cheaper.
If we do snare him, I can see someone like Twal play bigger minutes and have Hunt come on and play explosive cameos.
Well I hope I get this one right as my prediction of Solomon Alaimalo being a gun didn't exactly pan out too well did it![]()
Like most FR?I agree with the way to use him. Hunt is not a big minutes man. He'll need to be used for impact stints.
100%. Some front rowers have about 60 minutes in them....not Hunt. To me, he is a 40 minute type player.Like most FR?
They are different props. Stef is more stand-up and Hunt has better body height and aggression.I'm not sold on this signing at all. I bet you'd get a great highlights package from Stef.
Obvious.Royce Hunt has not played 40 minutes yet this year. He has 3 games over 30 minutes and averages 23 minutes.
After a 20 minute stint you would be better off with a Ben Hunt hit up than anything Royce has left in the tank.
Stefano and Hunt are different players, not like for like and you cannot replace one with the other, but having a big minute FRF allows you to have an impact lower minute FRF in your rotation.
As soon as Pole realizes how big he is a stops trying to step everyone instead of running over the top of them he will have all these guys covered. IMO a large part of Stefano's money should go to retaining Pole long term as he is an effective big minute FRF and a key to the middle rotation.
