OFFICIAL Royce Hunt #298

[BlackWhiteGold]

Unfortunately the red mist got the better of him early in the 2nd half. We just need him to channel that aggression the right way.

Channel it out the door

Am I missing something? Hunt did his job. Over 10 metres per carry, over half his metres were post contact, no missed tackles. Did the job he was asked to do while on the field. We don’t buy him for big minutes. We’ve got other players for that. We bought him for a high impact short shint to help our late first half fades, which is something we identified as an issue previously… Yes I admit he had a shocker earlier in the season but he’s not the reason we lost today.

I agree. He was going alright, until he lost focus thanks to Hudson Young. Plenty of team mates made costly errors too so he wasn't the only one.

Hunt is a 20-30 minute damaging prop. Can you risk that the game goes against you possession wise when you bring on. In the modern game I think he’s done. And I’m a fan.

 

[Tigers_Wests]

Was looking good with his carries. The couple of penalties weren't great. I still think he has a role off the bench in our team moving forward. Big pre-season to shed a few kilos and improve the fitness a little. Should still keep that impact and damage in his runs.

 

[The Chad]

Since coming back into 1st grade I'm happy enough.

Can he be upgraded? Sure. But not by what we have in the squad.

Did anyone else at the game notice Royce going over the top rope at half time?

Gave away two unnecessary penalties in 2nd half. Game changer!
Seyfarth would have been good for about six pages of of forum whinging.

Come on penalties were soft at best. He owned Hudson and he let him know it. We need intimidation from our players, we are to much push overs. The ref was a pelican swimming in wicky’s waters. How did the great Strange go today??? Nothing, we owned him, showed nothing except falling over the line. He’s massively overrated, he’s a tuff player but lacks high skill as a half. I am happy with the Hunt, the pelican was handing out penalties and 6 to goes to his mates in the worlds most boring city in Australia!

I also thought Hunt did his job. Everyone of his carries in the 2nd half it dented the raiders line and caused havoc. Young penalty was soft, was just because he reacted the ref had to do something

Also worth mentioning, and the commentators even brought it up, Raiders had 70% possession with 15 mins left on the clock … mind boggling we held the minor premiers out for so long

I saw nothing from the Faiders yesterday as I said if it wasn’t for the pelican and some of our dumb handling errors, we could easily have won that game. And they’re the minor premiers!
