Hunt Signs with St George Illawarra

[Brent81]

Luke Brooks and SJ are the only quality halves at the end of 2017.. *welp*

Guess our prem window is closing.

Slammed shut actually.

 

[Danoz Direct]

Remember that with Wayne, there is always a plan

Any Ata Hingano?

Who is available in 2018

Everyone is available in 2018, this is the NRL and we're the Broncos. Contracts don't mean shit.

Hunt Haters can't answer the question as to where to from here.

Who is available in 2018 that will play for the pittance that we are going to offer. Names people.

Based on the criticism of Hunt on here they must have:

1) a flith kicking game - like a repeat set every 2 sets

2) to set up heaps of tries from kicks

3) game management - never makes a bad call in the last 10 minutes

4) be willing to play for 400 - 600 k per year.

5) Won't knock the ball on with seconds to go in a Grand Final.

 

[Brent81]

Judging from the list of off contract halves, I would go for Luke Brooks probably. The Tigers halves don't work well in tandem because they are both too similar; Luke Brooks would be the cheaper and hasn't looked terrible at organising when I've seen him, but I admittedly don't watch him often. I'm pretty sure Joey Johns said he was the new best thing once though.

He's going nowhere.

Wants to play with Teddy and Moses till he dies.

Names please.

I think @Unbreakable had a reasonable response. I was probably Hunts most vocal supporter on here and even I think you need to calm down. Surely Bennett has a plan. Nobody is turning down 1mil a year. I wonder if, considering we let Taylor go a year early if the Titans will consider doing the same or if somehow Bennett made it part of the contract.

 

[holdzy]

Lol Brent meltdown in here.

Pretty sure Hunt didn't leave because of the opinions of some forum posters.

 

[Wolfie]

Bit disappointing as he is still a pretty good player, especially if he gets his mojo back. I dont think he is worth the kind of money St George are paying him, especially as he will be 28 by the time he starts a season for them.

The obvious choice for me now if to push the boat out for Taylor, but i think Keiran Foran would be great along side Milf. He only has a one year deal at the Warriors and i think he could be the perfect foil for how Milf plays.

On the topic of "What do we do now that our almighty saviour Ben Hunt is gone?!?" - We're the fucking Broncos and we have fucking Wayne Bennett. Do I need to say more? We'll get someone, and it'll be someone good.

I love optimism as much as anyone but let's not lose our heads here but how hard it is to replace your half and it work.

Alf retires.

Walker, Walters out of retirement, Walker again, Ikin out of retirement, Shane Walker, Toni Carroll, Perry, Berrigan, Hunt, Wallace, Capewell, Gillett, Green, Harrison, Hodges, Hunt, Lacey, Marsh, Prince, Seymour.

Did I leave anyone out?

So you have no idea.

Delusion. Just as a I thought.

We're the broncos? We couldn't get Napa or James. We had to settle for Sims.

We don't have anywhere near the pulling power that you think.

We'll end up with Tyrone Roberts or Brooks or some work experience kid.

Premiership window just slammed shut.

Ps how many thousand years before Bennett retires? That's a card with a limited shelf life

 

[Painin the Haas]

What about Brodie croft? Good young halfback from storm I've watched him play for eats tigers very impressive might get out of a contract to get a full time spot

It's not optimism. It's the Hunt Haters who have got their wish and now they are panicking about getting called on their crap.

The optimism is a put on to try to hide it.

Go to bed brent

I'm hearing Quade Cooper will be offered a one year deal. I might have just made that up but I'm going to throw it out there on Twitter for the likes of the Lurker or the Mole.

Napa & James were never coming here, they used the Broncos name to get more money.

 

[Wolfie]

A left field option, Bennett seems to rate the young English half George Williams.

 

[Rhys van Beurden]

But you just said he wouldn't leave the Tigers. Now I don't know what to believe!

I really hope 81 isn't the year you were born, because you're acting like a 12 year old right now. Go have a glass of warm milk and put your PJ's on.
