Who is the worst “marquee” player in the NRL and why is it Ben Hunt?

Anthony Watmough (Parramatta)

Danny Levi (Raiders): Changes the game from the interchange bench but not in the way that Ricky intended .

[Brutus]

Rod Reddy should have played for Redcliffe.

Hunt back to "form" yesterday. After 5 minutes you knew saints didn't have a chance in that game.

Thoroughly outplayed by future immortal Toby Sexton.

Needs a new sports psychologist . Could share sessions with Nico Hynes to save money .

I sat through his face to face on fox episode, and concluded that he's mentally weak.

Hunt was in rare form yesterday.

Anyone see Flanagan giving it to him in the sheds after the game?

Did Benny react with “how dare you, I’ll have you know I’m better than all my teammates, they’re lucky I haven’t joined a Queensland club yet”.

Orchestrated 28 points on 11 minutes of footy. Flanno was a bit harsh on him…..

It's the 44 he had a hand in during the first 69 thats concerning.

No he didn't. Contributed here and there but he certainly didn't orchestrate 28 points. FMD.

Look, I love him as a player but without a doubt it's Latrell, for the sheer fact he's only been on the field for 60% of our matches over a 5 year period now.

If he's on $1m a season, that's effectively $400k pissed down the drain each year, or $2m in total.

Hunt might be rocks and diamonds but at least he's there every week.

 

[SBD82]

at least he's there every week.

Wish he wasn’t. We’re 2 from 2 without him this year.

Maybe if Hunt took another 2 games off we could’ve made the finals.

Shitpostery aside, Hunt is such a weird case. Like he's clearly a genuinely good footballer. I don't even agree that he's not a seven, although he might be better at hooker. Statistically I think I've heard commentary that he's had his best season ever, or at least in terms of the number of try assists....but he's just offered nothing all the same.

I just think he's completely cooked since 2015. Any minor pressure or setback and he melts like there's an actual blowtorch on him.
