Ahhhh the off season. Time to eat each other lads/ladies. Have at it.
You're totally right, Hunt was doing everything tonight.
Kicking it dead.. Giving them 7 tackle sets.. Terrible passes.. Terrible decision making.. Errors.. Missing tackles.. Giving away penalties..
..
But hey, whatever fits the pro-Hunt agenda, am I right?
Oh yeah and let's just move our brilliant fullback into the halves. Genius idea. Maybe move McGuire to lock and Kahu to prop too?
The best part is that all of the players you're naming would make less tactical and executional errors per game then Hunt in the halves.
Lmfao.
Hunt is not and never will be a dominant half. He's a pivot who would serve perfectly a team like the Storm or Manly for example, who have a dominant half who can manage, organise and kick properly.
As a pivot, Milford is the younger, more talented player, despite tonight's game.
but what else about him is not worthy of being a dominant half?
He can't read a game.
I know there is more to it, but it is a halfback's MAIN task, and where Hunt's weakness is. Someone in the team needs to do it, and it's generally the dominant half that does.I respect your opinion,and I'm not having a go at you, but I'd just like to know why you believe he is not, nor never will be a dominant half. Define being a dominant half. There are different ways of being a dominant half, not all of which include being a cookie cutter version of each other. Why do people think every player should be the same? Not every halfback should be the same. Each halfback has their strengths and weaknesses. That doesn't make them any less of a halfback. In the current game, we lack diversity. Everyone tries to make someone something else, rather than just being themselves.
I understand that part of a halfbacks job is to organise and kick properly etc, I get that, but there is much more to it than just that. That's where you devise a game plan which showcase their strengths, and cover for those weaknesses. Hunt's long kicking game isn't as bad as what its being made out to be. The fact we're almost always kicking out of our own 40 doesn't help though. Yes, he's short kicking game needs work, but what else about him is not worthy of being a dominant half?
