St Merge fans v Ben Hunt

[Vee]

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.

Dargon fans can lick his sweaty balls. If his team-mates had done half as well, they would have played plenty of finals footy.

Blame the front office.

Ezra will get a long suspension but he will be back before the season's end.

Ezra should be in jail, any other Joe blo, does the same thing and they get locked up, it's garbage he has got his slap on the wrist

I agree with you.

At 600k, he's almost the perfect signing for us.

Agreed. Absolutely makes sense. Broncos would have a fair idea of the minimum amount of time Ezra will be sidelined and have moved to cover.

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.

Bit arrogant. Plenty of good juniors don't make the grade and fewer still make reps... It's not all down to skill and there are plenty of traps to navigate, as Ezra has demonstrated. But yes, Bunt can cover those positions if he has a mind to.

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.

This is the theatre I love. Look if the Bunt redmption arc leads him to the ultimate success, then he will have earnt it... but I will be death riding him all the way!

Not sure we'll be salty... well maybe a little if he towels us up and/or performs in clutch moments leading to big game wins... I don't mind the bloke and his effort, but his unwillingness to be a team player, petulance (from a 34 year old), age and lack of top 4 quality players around him are the reasons I'm happy to see him go. Dragons are best off building on last year and building for a tilt in 3-5 years... and he's not part of that equation.

I’m sure he’s sorry….you know how much apologies mean to Ezra

Ask Spencer Leniu if calling him a monkey, and driving under the influence and potentially killing a kid, carry the same offence in suspensions, coz ol' Spence got double

I find this rhetoric interesting. This seems to be how he’s portrayed by the media. ‘Took the money and didn’t deliever’

Compare this to Luke Brooks. Same position, similar pay packet, worse results. Yet to everyone it’s ’tigers Really let Brooks down’

 

[Bobby DIGital]

I can't wait to see what this geriatric washed-up halves combo can produce.

It's 2024 and words are literal violence, so....

You’re so close to getting it.

How does the NRL Cap auditor sign off on Hunts deal at a reported $550k per year when his previous wage was $1M at the Steelers?

Has it been signed off yet?

Lol @ Renouf and Tate thinking Hunt can bring them a premiership.

They haven’t watched much footy over the previous 5 or so years, obviously.

Apparently he's a leader of men according to Tate lmao.

 

[wittyfan]

Dragons definitely the biggest winner in all of this.

Onto the field, it's a technicality but I could agree with that.



It's not coincidental that Flanno has mentioned bringing in leadership at every press conference since Hunt has left. The bloke can obviously play, but he isn't a leader or a halfback.

Unless they need it to replace Hunt's leadership.

Will be fun cheering against him, just like when he played for us
