Is this also part of the NSWRL conspiracy to keep us down?

Allowing this to happen ruins the fabric of the competition, and we're part of that. Just hope everyone realises how hypocritical they are if the signing comes off.
It’s hypocritical but the NRL has proven time and again that they have **** all regard for the integrity of the competition and we’re fools if we don’t capitalise on that in the same way every other club does.

Just so we're clear, there is no "NSWRL conspiracy" anymore if it happens.

Hunt for the rest of the year is a smart move. Hunt on a long term deal isnt.
I wouldn't mind it for this year and next. As long as he was happy to play Hooker and only be a back up 6/7 in the event of any suspension or injuries to Reynolds and Maam.

He is a very good hooker, significantly better than Billy, and also offers a very good backup option for Reynolds / Maam which we don't currently have.

If we could get Ben Hunt for 2 years at the expense of say, Katoni Staggs & Jock Madden / Paix then I think it is a worthy deal.

Huge signing. Gives us the best spine in the comp, on paper, by a long way. I think playing him off the bench is the way to go for the time being with the aim of him playing 60+ mins at 9 come the finals.
If it is true, then I think you can just play him exactly like Qld do.

Start at 9 plays 30mins or so, Billy comes on to finish the game and then Bhunt can come back on as a lock through the middle... or just comes back on as a 9.

Imagine finishing the game with a middle of Haas and Patty at prop and Bhunt at 13 being a link man if you need points... or you have him finish at 9 with Haas, Patty and Flegler if you just want the big boys rolling through the middle.

Well yeah, we're now part of the vultures club. Just make sure you understand that and are ready to defend it.

It was bad enough when Pangai went glory hunting to penrith, this is not far behind.

It's bullshit big clubs like us can take advantage of these kinds of situations, it wasn't too long ago everyone on here was screaming bloody murder when the Roosters were doing it.

If you can't beat them, join them.

A bit pre-emptive?

Hunt is a better attacking player than William .
William is a good defender .

William starts - Hunt after 20 in each half .

I don't think the club is dumb enough to do that. He'll be playing 9 or not signing with us.

I suppose that depends on how trustworthy you believe the Fox Sports "staff writers" to be ... because that's the only place I've seen five-eight mentioned
