Hunt is the domino.
I know they're loaded for experience and in the cap, but it has shocked me that Souths haven't been linked to Hunt. With the age of Walker & Wighton, their premiership window, if it all, is next season in my opinion.
Of all the options for 25, none are ideal, which speaks volumes of the desperation to allow Hunt to leave. Hopefully 2026 is a bit more promising.
Ilias was a 6 coming through the grade if I recall, and JD tried to manufacture him into a half-back. He is a decent player. I think KF will likely play 7, while he wasn't the dominant half with Hunt, he looked a lot better at first receiver than he did second receiver - which wasn't often because they played left and right mostly. The biggest issue is the kicking game. You'd think Cook will be doing a fair bit of early kicking this season.
