We could do worse than lure Peter Hiku back from the super league

not much

 

[Bucking Beads]

How can anybody possibly be talking to anybody about salary cap relief. Mam has not even been banned as of yet. I'd suggest Hunt will find a suitor well before we sort this shit out with Ezra Milford

Mam will absolutely get a ban. He’s on thin ice to keep his career at all tbh.

i'd suggest you'll find that all things are possible in the presence of the Lord

Hiku is trash hang your head in shame @theshed

 

[Wolfie]

We could do worse than lure Peter Hiku back from the super league

He's played really well this year since they moved him from fullback. He still makes some odd decisions defensively and he's on probably more money there than we would offer.

*Possibility arises that Hunt could come back and redeem himself*

"WE SHOULD SIGN PETA HIKU!!!"

This is @Big Del kind of comprehension levels.

If what Badel said last year is true (I know, I know), perhaps Hunt has been trying to get back to us for some time. There’s a seemingly a lot of smoke here.

I hope so, was my favourite player until... you know.

It seems right after we developed him, for him to return for a redemption premiership.

If the The weren't in town I'd be more excited. Same if the NRL would let him sign with us for unders.

BRING BEN HOME!

 

[Lockysillegitimatechild]

I hear a lot of good things about Parr but the cowboys, knights and blues don’t exactly ooze success

It does when you look at where those clubs were before he was at those clubs... cowboys were worse than the tigers now and went onto win, knights have made 2/2 finals since he has been there, and the blues are 4/7 series since he got involved.

He also has history with the Broncos and has been a part of rugby league mad towns and developed local talent and local pathways.

I hope we do, so everyone can make a meal of his first name in true Timmy Dearden style.

He did, the Dragons flatly rejected it and the budget wasnt available in the cap.

 

[Big Del]

We're clearly Hunt's preferred destination:

Hunt says it would be "special" to return to Brisbane

Ben Hunt would find it "special" to return to Brisbane and win a premiership - a goal he's...

www.examiner.com.au

"Brisbane will always have a soft spot for me," Hunt said

I think he got his Grammar wrong there . What he should have said is I will always have a soft spot for Brisbane . His phrasing speaks of Brisbane having a soft spot for him . Which isn`t necessarily the case . After his mercenary contract at the Dragons .

Ben wants a 3 year contract. I think what you will find happens is Brisbane offer a 2 year deal, option in the clubs favour for a 3rd, with the captaincy being his in 2026 after Reyno retires. He will then slot into that halfback role in 2026, mentoring Black as the season progresses. What happens with Mam is still anyone's guess, but they will make it work either way to allow Hunt to slot in. Hunt can easily rotate with Mozer to allow Mam (if still at the club) to strike up a partnership with Black if he is ready by then.

Let's face it, it is inevitable Reyno will miss games next year. Having Hunt there as someone who can slot in seamlessly is a gift from the gods for Brisbane. He is also MUCH more durable than Adam, so there will be significantly less impact on the team when Reyno does go down for a game or 3.

And given we will lose Mam likely for the whole year anyway, what an amazing player to bring in. I assume he just gets Reyno' money for 2026 and by that stage, he will be old, and the end come quick at that age anyway.

But imagine the benefit Black will get learning from two of the best older halfbacks in the comp.

Yeah, they will heavily back-end Hunt's deal for 2026 when Reyno money frees up.

This is a golden opportunity for Brisbane, they have to make it work anyway possible to get him in there.

I'll have whatever he's smoking.
