I'm questioning if Hunt will actually be in the team come round 1. The Nines squad is very strong with the entire spine, bar Hunt being selected. If Benji has a strong pre season, he could end up pushing for that spot and Hunt being relegated to the bench or QCup. People will say oh the Broncos don't want both their halves in the Nines, but surely if a half was being rested it would be Milford and the fact that the entire back 6 bar Mead with his knee injury has been selected, as well as Macca and Blair, I am really questioning if Hunt is in their plans anymore.
Says the guy with a Hunt photo... I honestly don't know if he is... He isn't a halfback in my eyes, he's a Five-Eighth. Lacks the directional play and kicking game of a traditional Half-back. If the whole spine wasn't selected then yes, i assumed Hunt would be in the squad round 1. But the fact that literally the entire back 6 and hooker (other than Mead with his knee strain) have been selected is a huge red flag to me.
To me it still doesn't make sense not playing Hunt if he is going to be the halfback... I dunno. Very scepticle. I guess we will find out in few weeks...
I'd say Benji has marginally better game control than Hunt does. Hunt is a better player, don't get me wrong, but I think Marshall does offer better game management, albeit marginally.
That's a good point, But Milford also didn't go in 2016, and Boyd didn't go in 2015 (was injured). But still, him signing elsewhere does throw a bit of a spanner in the works. Will see how it pans out.
