OFFICIAL Ben Hunt returns home to Broncos on two-year deal

[theshed]

Dearden is pretty one dimensional.......

To his credit he has taken it to it's highest level. I think its a lack of competition more than anything else......
If Munster is right......he's not in the team.

He certainly isn't and won't be a Locky or JT........ he's not even a Cooper Cronk.

Dearden’s biggest asset is his work ethic and toughness. Definition of a footballer

Mam has those qualities too. He’s just lost his way a little. Didn’t Dearden go something like 20 games in a row without winning? Young guys just need guidance sometimes

Funny Ben Hunt story relevant to the 2015 GF which may or may not be true, but is worth sharing for everyone else in celebration of his return:

After Hunt dropped that kickoff and the Broncos lost, he was inconsolable after the match, sitting alone crying in the change rooms and on the bus on the way back to the hotel, with nobody able to comfort him.

Wayne sat next to him the whole time and spent hours in his hotel room with him trying to lift his spirits until Hunt fell asleep.

The next morning, Ben was finally no longer a sobbing mess. As the players lined up to get onto the bus to the airport, Alfie was standing at the door handing everyone a can of XXXX. When he got to Ben, Alfie handed it to him in an awkward manner (not sure if on purpose), and Hunt dropped it. Alfie looked at him and said ‘dropped another one hey mate?’

The image of Wayne sitting at the foot of a grown man’s bed waiting for him to fall asleep is hysterical.
There’s no way this is true btw

Hunt then signed with the dragons lol

Mam might turn bad when he comes back

My opinion i wouldn't even let him step foot back in the team. Let him work a 9 to 5 on construction sites for the whole 2025. So it get drilled in his head and understands he not above anyone just because he a rugby league player.

 

[Sproj]

Now we know the real reason Alfie lost his job a month ago I guess.

It's absolutely true about the beer

Yeah but don't forget, Cooper Cronk wasn't that polished at the same age as what Dearden is now..
Whether Dearden improves in coming years to where Cronk finished up as a player, is another thing..

 

[Mr Fourex]

Mam has those qualities too.

Really?

 

[Santa]

Not too shabby...

 

[NSW stables]

Good business this:
-we needed experience in the squad
-we needed good examples of hard workers.
-we needed capable and proven half replacement for ezra.
-we needed a bit more time to develop black and extend the premiership window.

The broncos have managed to get a rep player that meets all these needs, and a rep spine player for 550-600k a year. What other rep spine player is playing for that little amount?

 

[Foordy]

According ing to Meyn Hunt's signing has put 4 players in the firing line. Mam, Reynolds, Walters and Mozer. As usual it's a rugby league reporter talking out of their ass.

But here is his reasoning:

Mam:
If we're winning, then Madge would be reluctant to change the team, making Ms spot unclear when he returns from his likely suspension.

Reynolds
Spent a fair bit of time injured lad year, so Hunt could force the skipper into retirement

Billy
Hunt could be shifted to hooker which would squeeze Walters out of the starting team, and potentially Brisbane’s top 17.

Mozer
Mozer is off contract at the end of 2025 and Hunt will be a roadblock and there is no clear path to the starting team.

P.s. he doesn't say that Hunt has put Paix or Smoothys position in the squad in jeopardy, maybe he thinks they're our best hookers

And nothing about Madden who now has a clear road block in front of him that has the same contract length.

League journos are just fear mongers at this point, but the Facebook crowd will be all gitty about Mozer 'being forced out'... opposition fans wanting him and Broncos fans furious this could cost us him

The beer bit is true, Bennett consoled him on the field and the dressing room- I know he told him to stop crying if that's the worst thing that happens to you you've led a good life.

Not sure about the hotel room bit- Bennett left him alone and didn't talk to him for three weeks after the Grand Final.

Trad did a great job of protecting Hunt.

 

[Jedhead]

It's absolutely true about the beer

The way I heard it was that when he came into the dressing rooms after the game he was in tears and very distraught. Benny told him to take a seat and as he sat down he leaned forward still in tears to put his head in his hands - and missed.
