Hunt must step-up to prove Origin pedigree

[broncos4life]

McCullough is injured.

Good point, hopefully he is back next week. Think how happy this place will be with 2 scapegoats!

McCullough is injured.

I think now that we've seen what life is like without Macca ... he will lose that scapegoat tag pretty quickly.

Hunt was probably our best tonight. Kicked well, ran well, and people say he's not NRL level? If you're not trolling for the sake of it, get your finger out.

Logic would suggest that mate, unfortunately I think logic will be defied pretty quickly.

There's still reed to step in as scapegoat

I love how Hunt has an average game and people think that's adequate enough to rid him of all blame for the loss, did you guys see him attempt that sweeping play to the right towards the end, where he just passed the ball to the ground? He's not playing good right now, the only 4 players on our entire team who I'm confident in saying are playing great footy every week are Boyd, Oates, McGuire & Parker. Even someone like Gillett has been down on club form the last 4 weeks per his unusual elite standards.

Hopefully once we get McCullough, Glenn & Kahu back over the next 2 games the entire group will start putting some consistent performances in, because if they don't, we aren't winning shit this year.

I love how Hunt is statistically the form Half of the competition, yet is still made a scapegoat for this team's forwards getting completely dominated over the last couple months of football.

We miss Macca, and Glenn especially. Glenn always takes those hard carries that no one else wants to. Hunt and Milford can't do shit when our forwards are never even in the contest.

I think Roberts is playing more shithouse than Hunt but the golden child isn't even getting a mention at the moment. If it was Reed, everyone would be down his neck immediately

That's not true though, in a number of threads it has been mentioned that Roberts has been rubbish for us. Some even suggesting he go back to the Titans.

Well on his form this year, I wouldn't be totally against it. He just cant play in a structured team

Yeah he hasn't been impressive that's for sure but that Cowboys game shows what he can do if he wants to. For some reason, he just doesn't want to. Let's hope it changes starting next match, otherwise he can leave at the end of the year with Reed and we can just go with Kahu and GI/Gagai in the centres.

I still think he's not reading the game well enough to know when to inject himself... A good run from dummy half is timed well in relation to markers and defence getting back on side, hodgo used to pick his moment and do it well. Roberts seems to miss his opportunities... He could add a lot of spark in the middle too and split tired defenders a la Granville or Niko

Hodgo was a master at that though... we might be aiming too high there.

I still think we're not using our right side to its potential. Gillett, Hunt, Roberts and Kahu should be our most productive side, given the quality of the players involved... although Milford and Oates are no slouches either.

I think I called that he's been a Kennedy tier signing a couple of weeks back. Probably an over the top call, but he's definitely been shit too.

 

[Pushkin]

Broncos get back on track with one person help Kevin walter. I hope as soon as state of origin 3 over, kevin join the broncos. The way broncos are playing is not looking good. There game plan is not working at all.

 

[ivanhungryjak]

I would love to see Roberts come in and sniff around behind the rucks a la Slater, especially in the second half of each half.

Does anyone think Roberts isn't being switched to left Centre because there is a left Centre on the way next year...Just throwing it out there ...

I think he hasn't been moved because he has not earned it.
