      It’s a god damn travesty that this guy has ridden the pine at the Broncos for as long as he has. Unfortunately I don’t think we have a place for him but if other clubs aren’t throwing big offers at him they’d be mental. The Dragons, Panthers, Eels and Warriors should be trying to move mountains for him.

        Heard the Eels are very interested in him as a hooker

          If the Broncos lose both Norman and Hunt to the Eels then LOL. Norman is a bit of a hack but Hunt will carve up there. I’d be inclined to play him in the halves though and move Luke Kelly to hooker. Kelly has a bit of toughness about him that makes me think he’d do well at nine.

          1. Hayne
          6. Sandow
          7. Hunt
          9. Kelly

          But I suppose the thinking is:

          1. Hayne
          6. Norman
          7. Sandow
          9. Hunt

          Which is still pretty good. I think Hunt would be quite wasted at dummy half though, he’s a natural halfback, a rare commodity.

                Isn’t he a hooker?

                    Broncs might be clearing the decks for Izzy

                      Broncos are like us, they payed for Prince, he’s a big name and was a good player. There is a obligation to play him, much the same spot we are in with Anasta. You don’t put big names to start on the bench, people would call you crazy……so what do you do…you play them in your 13 and suffer…!! No wonder Hunt is looking around. A good player, but not a cracker player.

                        Not sure if your serious or not? but I haven’t really seen or heard of how he plays nor where he plays 😕

                        EDIT: Sorry, he’s a halfback, got that now. Still, have Bronco’s had him as half prior to 2013? Atleast for a good chunk of time, cause I don’t recall ever noticing him.

                          Hunt has been the bench hooker for the Broncos his entire first grade career for no reason. He was the NYC player of the year in 2009 as a halfback and captain of the premiers. They have given him an unbelievably small amount of time at halfback and every time he has been there he’s been good. He comes onto the field and the Broncos look a different side, goes off and they suck. He makes McCullough look stupid and is reason number one as to why Anthony Griffin is a nuffy coach. He can defend, run the ball, has vision and a good kicking game. He’d be better than half the current halfbacks in the comp and that’s without getting settled. He’s being robbed of opportunities at Brisbane.

                            Players usually are on the outer for a reason….lack of talent, attitude etc. No coach would not play a player who is gonna make their team better, after all it is in the coaches best interests to have as many wins as possible is it not?

                              Supposedly but Anthony Griffin is Sheens level of playing favourites. Plenty of gun youngsters have been held back by selecting nuffies there.

                                Which “gun youngsters” are you referring to?

                                  He obviously doesn’t fit into the boys club up there. Sign him up.
