Hunt Signs with St George Illawarra

Good luck to him. He's made the right choice for he and his.

Maybe the change of scenery will allow him to develop further, because it seemed like he stagnated here.
 
Well ****, if that's true.

Had hoped we could keep him but that is big $. Can hardly blame him for chasing it, especially on as long as that deal is rumoured to be. He may well be better in some ways getting away from Brisbane, he's going to have his detractors here for quite some time yet.

As much as I like him, we can't be throwing that kind of $ around. Unfortunately I'm not sure how we'll go this year if he has an eye on the door already. Rather we didn't release him early though.

Will set us back a bit in the short term. No one comparable really on the market right now. Something will come up, just a question of when.

Brent, you do realise to sign hunt we would have had to offer him probably over $800k a season to have any chance... Doing that we would have had to lose a vital member of the team. Hunt is about to get $1 mil a season, Ash taylor would be on probably 1/3 of that. There is no value in Hunt for us at $1 mil a season. Not when we have milford who will command even more. You can't spend over $2 mil on two players who are almost identical in playstyle, that just doesn't work.

You do realise to sign someone of Hunt's calibre we are going to have to offer 800?

Taylor ain't available.

Ps mark the work experience kid is on 80 k should be sign him up quick sticks?

You want quality, you need to pay what its worth.

We going to be bottom 8 for quite a few years.

Enjoy Hunt Haters.

Doubt it.

We will get someone for 2018, it just won't be Taylor.

Hunt will remain as halfback until 2018. I'm sure of it.

Oh yeah he'll still be here.

I just can't conceive of a single good option as halfback for our squad.

Maybe Kodi will be that guy.. he has re-signed.. why do that if you're not viewed long term by the club?

There ain't no big fish going next year.

We're going to have a long few years.

Can't wait to make all the Hunt Haters chew on it.

Shaun Johnson is off contract for 2018
 
Hoping Hunt does the honourable thing, and gives his all in his last year with us.

I've posted the list.

Who is better than Hunt on that list.

Or which top flight half are we going to sign for the peanuts that we are going to offer (800 for a half is peanuts with the salary cap increase).

The player we sign doesn't have to be better.

He just has to be a good fit. Someone that can take pressure off Milford and allow him to flourish.

Sort of like a Shane Perry...

It worked for the Sharks.

No way should Hunt be dropped to the QLD Cup.

Then we will have to put up with Benji at halfback.

I like Benji, I think he is a good signing, but not if he is playing halfback.

I already thought this through and came up with the same. Q-Cup thanks.
 
sad to see him go. i love him as player and person. i really hope for his sake he doest ruin his career with this move.

at that kind of coin he will be under enormous pressure whenever the dragons perform poorly. and unfortunately for benny he does not seem to perform well under pressure.

really hope it works out for him though really is a top bloke and none of us would turn down that coin either it sets u up for life
