I don't want to derail this thread, but I agree with you and I've chosen to simply not read his replies anymore. :biggrin:

That's a bit high.
6....maybe 7/10 as he stands now.
He had a couple good games and then finished the last 3 games of the season with an overwhelming ....... mehhh
Not sure if he's the answer .....I have a feeling he's not.

It all depends on if he can be consistent. His best is pretty bloody good but producing it for 80 minutes week in week out is the issue. Only time will tell how good or bad he will be. Needs time to develop in the position though. His development has been stuffed.

He has all the skills he needs to make a great half.
Passing, kicking (short kicks at least, and with variety too), vision. Defence has been poor, but that's something I don't care about halves if their attack makes up for it. His biggest problems have been consistency and being able to stay in the game for the whole 80 minutes. You'd think that those problems can be fixed, but Sandow has almost the exact same ones too, so who knows how Hunt handles it.
Anyway he definitely won't be wearing the #7 jersey with DCE around. :tongue_smilie:

I reckon he has the best right-to-left pass in the game. When he turns on the bullet pass he always finds space for his outside backs.

Given the circumstances judging him harshly would be ridiculous. He's shown he can step, break a tackle, break a line, commit defenders, throw a great cut out pass, force repeat sets, his long kicking game is improving and he can tackle (not position in defence). He's also great at reading the play and knowing whether to pass or not. Yes he has major flaws. But at this point they all look to be due to lack of experience in the halves. Qld's future spine. 9. Any number of players 7. Dce 6. Hunt/Milford 1. Milford/Barb(a auto correct) he might not make it but he's shown he has the maximum potential to be in the mix.

I have formed my opinion on Hunt from watching him play up until now. Maybe I will be proved wrong, I hope that will happen, but I doubt it.
I never said my opinion means anything more than anyone else. And if having an opinion that is not in line with the majority's views makes me an anonymous troll then so be it, and thanks for the well wishes.
Good question.

It's clear he has some skills, but whether they can translate to 80 min football is yet to be seen. After the last game though I'm inclined to think unless he gets some real help with his confidence he will never make it. My real concern is that after playing so long as a backup hooker he still couldn't outshine Macca. Yes he was playing out of position, but I would like to think he could have played at least as well as Macca.

Yes, it also concerns me that a halfback that was coming off the bench for 10 minutes cant outshine our cemented hooker. It also concerns me that parker hasn't been able to outshine hoffman at fullback, but hey what ya gonna do...

I know this is off-topic but Braith Anasta was a great player in his day and played pretty well for NSW from memory. Pearce is just another of those players that performs very well at club level but can't take his game to the next step.

You might want to check your memory, Anasta was a joke for NSW and I and I am sure many other QLD supporters cheered whenever he was picked.
