OFFICIAL Royce Hunt #298

[BunganHead Tiger]

Looks like Royce Hunt could be potentially leaving tigers end of the year to the Super League https://www.alloutrugbyleague.co.uk/news/wests-tigers-super-league-radars-1333735

They had better book him on an A380 Airbus then.

I think hunt did every thing he was signed up for against Manly. Not his fault he cant run off the back fence every play. Took the ball and ran hard everytime he got it. I give him a pass mark v manly. Keep him in the team and keep him in top 30 until end of contract. He will suprise most that think he can not be that player. I just watched the replay. See more things in repalys. Sam and Sione smashed Manly. Skelton toa dhuoie and Api all made up for those arm grabs for Manlys first try cant add bulla even though with a bit more effort may have stopped that try. Murray and sukkar played the part thay were given. TWAL is a beast and the knockers need to go watch a game show. The million dollar moment. Overall a great team effort. Scramble defense remindered of dare i say it '05!!!! BENJI'S TEAM/ OUR TEAM😁😁😁. If there is any chance Richo get that Koula from Manly. Great player.

Live play he looked like he didn't really do his job Royce, but some1 posted his stats for the game earlier today, if true which i don't doubt, he is earning his wage. It was a good team performance thought we were shot ducks to start almost kicked the telly in and stormed out the door. Glad i stuck around

Manly were a pretty weak pack, the next 3 games will be a better indicatior.

I don’t understand why we gave hunt 3 years

Did he have offers elsewhere?

This is a screenshot from a maccas promo video after the Manly game.
That ribs/ sternum strapping makes it look like he's been playing through a fair amount of pain for some time. Maybe we haven;t been seeing his best over the last half of the season, while he was in reserves to reserves etc...

And it looks like someone has stolen big Royceys salad. Ah what a shame I bet he was really looking forward to eating that 🤪

that manly pack is probably close to worst pack in the comp

Because we wanted him badly.
I remember people drooling over Royce hunt. Some were against us signing Terrell May.

Imagine going to a player "heyw ere the wooden spooners and have had 4 forwards leave us".

I totally understand why we gave 3 years, but lets not do that again.

Bit like the reason we signed bud for $500k...we were desperate after having to watch Wakeham/Brooks and the other guy stink it up.

Hunt hasn't been that bad. Some people dislike him simply because he looks fat.

That's the thing though rih imagine the potential he could give us if he lost say 8kgs, still a big body that could play longer minutes.

That's what disappoints a lot of us.

 

[Vicious]

We either keep him and work with him to try and get the best out of him, or replace him with a similar big bodied, aggressive, power running prop.

I hope we do both V, depth & competition for positions.

 

[Mccarry]

I want him to stay.

I was sitting behind the Tigers goal line at the Parra game. I got to watch close up how Luai spoke to him, prep’ing him to run off the back fence. Roycey was ready to run through a wall. It was arm tingling.

He wants to make an impact. You can’t fake what I saw.

Injury free, with consistent minutes he will come good.

Further, we literally do not have another who can do the role we signed him up for… a short stint either side of half time that sucks life out of oppositions

Injured I think , he was very good early in season then I feel he got an injury that stopped him maybe training etc , but he was good last game so go again he may be a weapon next 3 games , I would def keep him over say Nass from storm , he would just be trouble

Sure. I think some of the hate towards him is extreme and we don't know the full story. If he's not meeting the standards I'm pretty certain the club will find a way for him to leave.

Think everyone wants all the players to do well but when you’re not getting value out of someone that creates issues.

Think he could go well if he gets fit but also not peeved if he goes to Super League. Good option for him too.

 

[Bellend]

Face facts he is overweight and carrying a injury or two no good combo's for a forward who is supposed to bend the line when he runs. A 3 year contract was not necessary should have offered 2 year deal with better incentives.

 

[clontarfkid]

If the rumour mills are correct,Tino is going back to the Storm.Probably $800k to $900 k ..he cld get more btw..Dragons and Dogs desperate(what salary cap..?)
So that means someone has to be released at Storm...and that can only be Asafa Solomna.who spends more time off the field than on it
A fit and disciplined version of ASF is exactly what we need as the cornerstone of our pack...a real game changer if hes in our starting side each week..but if Be;llamy cant teach him discipline,Benji certainly cant
If Royce goes ,we can probably afford him
Big decisions coming up
And BTW...Royce isnt value for money at whatever price were paying him too few minutes..too overweight
