Is this the role that Jordan Miller will evolve into?

I don’t think hunt gets to play big minutes, due to the sharks having so many front rowers , they just use him as a shock weapon

I feel like this prop won't improve into his 30s.

keep looking Richo

Rudolph and Colquhoun are the two I would recruit from the Sharks.

I don't think I'd say Hunt is 'unfit', I just don't think he's as effective playing 'big minutes'.

If he’s fit does that mean he’s lazy
Lazy in the tigers defensive line doesn’t end well

Yes imo and having hunt filling that role in the mean time sets the squad up for that well

Miller is young and can shred body fat. He should develop into a starting prop. Hunt is a tank and mature at 29 he is what he is a beast.

Not sure about Hunt, I think if Miller can drop 5-7 kg in the off season he can do the same 25-30 minute stint with huge scope for improvement.

All the leaks on signings stopped .Now all of a sudden the media have released all these reports of who we r after?
Won't be surprised if the players mentioned won't be here at all.
Smokescreen?

No way , miller has shown nothing , and I don’t think it’s all his fault, the coaching staff have to carry a lot of the blame , why is he still 130 kg at this stage of the season, no line speed , no speed hitting the line , buggered after 10 minutes. So is no one of the staff not pouring fitness into him and making sure he eats s the right food .

HUNT is not a lazy forward , and if everyone watched the sharks games , they only use him in every short spells , because they get big minutes out of there starting props , it’s not hunt’s fault, it’s just the way the sharks work .

Here’s hoping the smokescreen is for a To’o announcement at the end of the year (plus a forward or two)

Not unfit?? You can visibly see how tired he is on the field after 10-15 minute stints at the sharks every game. He might be a strong guy but he is clearly not ‘fit’, everyone on here can see that. Some players are better with some extra size on them but he won’t be anywhere near as effective if he is on for longer then 15 minute stints at a time

Another Miller?

That's a good point. You could be right.

Seems a weird signing if the game is going the opposite direction being faced pace, less interruptions?

J’ason R'yles will be stoked

I actually agree with your first point. There is a player there that can make an impact at the top level. The coaching stuff have to sort out his diet and get him right. The fact that he's still doing okay at NSW Cup level despite being 19 and way overweight is insane.

He has to want to do himself at the end of the day … there is no reason that he couldnt drop 10kg at least between beginning of the offseason in September through the New Year …

Agree with this but sometimes you need the right mentors, leaders and structures for him to realize that.

Agree, it's part of being a professional footballer.

Less bench presses and more cardio, sprint training might squeeze an extra 10 min. on the paddock?
Unless we have some hard nosed middle defenders to cover for him for the other 45-50 min.
NO THANKS.
The tough middles must be the 1st priority, then consider Hunt as a top up. Icing on the cake!
