Irrelevant thread now, but I'm real interested in what Broncos fans think of this signing... well those without PTSD anyway.
At 600k, he's almost the perfect signing for us.
We got a future rep hooker in the wings (however he's barely played a dozen games), we got a future rep 5/8 (however he likes to drive on the wrong side of the road). We've also got a halfback who is struggling to stay fit. He covers all 3.
I also think this is something Ben Hunt has wanted to do ever since 2015, there wouldn't be a day in his life where he isn't reminded of the fact he dropped the ball in golden point of a Grand Final, on his own line. He essentially gave them a penalty kick, in soccer terms. I think he will be in a great space, he doesn't need to pull out the circus tricks, we've got a pretty good roster. It makes sense for everyone.
Dragons fans will be salty, they're entitled to be. They paid him a million dollars a year, went through multiple coaches, they gave him the keys to the castle. He didn't really live up to his end of the agreement though. Barely got them into a finals series from memory.
