With Hasler coach of the Titans next season I think their chances of getting hunt have improved.

Depends if he wants him.

I reckon I have same chance as Sailor replacing Reyno at 7.

The only way Sailor at 7 would work (imo) is if you had a more game managing type 6 that was already comfortable doing alot of kicking etc.

We have a young 6 that is a support running, short kicking explosive 6.

Just don't see any way that combo would ever work with Ezra and Sailor.

If the Broncos cloned prime Cameron Smith maybe.

Whispers in the DT that Bunji is having a sneaky word to Madden to try and get him back.

Meh ok. He has some talent but certainly nothing to feel like he is a massive loss over.

I think they’ve sacked Holbrook out of the blue to give Hunt confidence that there’s an experienced coach there, he knows who the coach for the next 2 years will be and it doesn’t turn into a circus like the Dragons.

I’d say Hunt the the Titans has shortened considerably

My thoughts exactly. It would force us to go sign a new back up and I think there would be halves lining up to come here with Reyno nearing the end and the squad we have. Jock seems like a great bloke but he has been crap for us in first grade so far and it seems whilst he is doing decently individually in q-cup the Devils are a much better side without him. Not a worrying loss if it was to eventuate and I wouldn’t stand in his way.

Wow there’s a shock (said no one).

It is Badel.

The 4th word in contradicts the headline ... then Badel later contradicts himself.

He starts by saying that we are "contemplating" entering the race for Hunt.

This entire article based of Kevvie's comments from a week or so ago where he gave the standard coaches answer about how you would look at a player of Hunts calibre should they come onto the market

To be honest, the timing of hunts request coincides with 2 clubs making moves. Titans with Hasler, Roosters shuffling the decks - add to that WB putting together a firmer squad but staying so very quiet on the matter.

I just don't see how he signs for another club but tries to come here for the remainder of the season.

It feels like a potential fairy tale but I really don’t think we need Hunt and it’s not worth the risk of disrupting what we have.

Hunt feels like too many chefs

Who are the current chefs? Reynolds, Walsh and ??

Yep. Read his comments a while back. Seems today an increase in Broncs/Hunt interest. RLPA getting involved now. So many theories out there everyone seems to have one. Just have to be patient I guess. Wouldn’t like to see him come in and upset the apple cart.

It should just be Reynolds, honestly. Walsh and Mam should be deferring to him to control the game. They have the freedom to create and go off-script, but when needed, Reynolds is the one who needs to guide us home.

I'm still conflicted on Hunt. I love the idea of the fairy tale, but I also would prefer it was earned across the year, not just as a ring-in.

SOS Gamble.
