PLAYER Ben Hunt

[Sproj]

Cutting off your nose to spite your face .
If he is playing well he is in the side . It`s was a bingle on the road in the off season . Not to do with football .

You did wanna be a prefect didn`t you ?

If he is playing well, absolutely, bring him in. I would imagine that would go without saying however...in order to be playing well, he would need to be playing...reserve grade no?

I am also not really sure how my view on this has been exaggerated out to Mam is completely blacklisted but it seems it has so just to be clear, I'm not against Mam coming back in at all, not once have I said this.

My entire point has been, make him earn it. A motivated and on fire Mam is a huge asset to the team but after an extremely underwhelming season culminating in doing something really stupid, I want to see him prove he wants it. I am hoping him being on the tools, coupled with all the backlash and whatever his suspension will be will turn him around and we get 2023 Mam again. If he is handed a jersey on a silver platter though, I am just not sure that will happen.

A motivated, on fire Mam is one of the most exciting players in the competition. An unfocused, frustrated Mam is Milford 2.0.

What about if he gets no suspension ?
Comes back after Xmas then plays the trials . Shows some form .
Still in Q Cup ?

If he is playing the house down in the trials and looks to be up to standard, absolutely. What I'm looking for with him is that he's learned his lesson and is fully invested. The scenario you state would imply he's doing what is required.

Of course its a moot point, he will definitely be suspended, it will just be a case of how much Broncos tax he incurs on the suspension.

Almost sounds as though Adam hopes Ezra is on the sideline for a bit.

The part about Reynolds being in the middle sounds like panthers style where Yeo and Cleary control the middle and Luai sits left with Edwards sitting right.

I hope that's not the case for us, because all 3 of Walsh, Reynolds and Hunt are dangerous on both sides of the field and I don't really want to see them only sitting on one side of the field.

I'm hoping all Reynolds means is that he'll be first receiver in the middle and Walsh and Benny will be moving either side as second receivers.

I think that would be important as it defines the role between Reynolds and Hunt, which is important given Hunt has been a dominant first receiver for a long time now, but will need to take a step back and play off Reynolds.

I’m hoping he’s bought his running game with him and he intends using it. Aware he has been, at times, criticised over the years for not doing so.

Be nice to have a 5/8th with a real short kicking game for a change.

Yes and a coach who can.

I think Ben Hunt will feel at home now, the whole team has the experience of throwing away a won Grand Final.

 

[M.B.88]

You know - I'm really starting to foresee a year in which Mam really struggles to get back into this team. And good. He needs to wake the f up and take his opportunity seriously.

Hunt might just keep that 6 jumper bar injuries for the rest of the year.

 

[Jedhead]

I can see Madge starting anew trend where instead of swapping the 9 like all other teams he swaps the 6 and plays two attacking games. Having Ezra come on as a fresh 6 after 30 minutes and thenBenny and Mozer share the dummy half duties will play havoc with defences. It also means Ezras defence will not be as bad either.

Swapping the team’s sixes, you heard it here first.

He should be made to earn his spot, you get the sense it all came a bit too easy for Ezra.

In a sense, those tries Ezra scored in the non grand final have caused him as much grief as they have improving his pay packet. By that I mean his new found stardom has appeared to send him off the rails a tad. It’s now up to Ezra and his mates to get himself back on the straight and narrow and get on with it.

Would be the worst case scenario for us though. Mam at his best might not be better than Hunt but Hunt in the side at hooker with a performing Mam is better balance wise.

Hunt at nine, Adam at seven, Milford at six, Mam Souths Logan.

Nice. Why play Milford 2.0 when he can have the Milford 1.0 at cost price.
