[QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2602512, member: 2221"] You're taking a lot of assumptions and making them fact, something you constantly tell other people not to do... You're acting like the sky is going to fall on our heads, if we don't re-sign Hunt now. - First of all, why is DCE protracting his re-signing? Unlike Hunt, he is already an elite player and doesn't need to wait for his value to go up, to see if he gets a better deal. Worst case scenario, he goes into a bad patch of form, or worse, gets a serious injury, which will make his value drop. There is definitely fire under all that smoke about player cliques at Manly and DCE being on the outer of them. - Second, the Broncos have burned themselves before, by re-signing a player while he was on a purple patch of form, only to end up having an overpaid player hogging the salary cap. I absolutely support the club waiting till the off season to see how well Hunt performs when the pressure really is on at the business end of the season. - Third, unlike previous seasons, we have a very good batch of playmakers coming through the ranks, and a whole year to get them ready for the NRL if push come to shove. It makes the club's position stronger in its negotiations, because it is not as desperate as we were a year ago. In 2015, we will have Hunt, Barba, Milford, Taylor, both Nikorimas, Paia'aua, Macca, Berrell and Brandon Lee. It's an embarrassment of riches, and in fact the best we have ever been served as far as spine players are concerned. Yes, there is no guarantee they will be top NRL players in the future, but that goes for Hunt as well... and that puts the club in a very good position to negotiate. [/QUOTE]
