I'm surprised Hammo has posted this, because i never really thought he was a fan of Hunt. icon_smile
Anyway, i agree totally.
Mate, I have always said it (and actually I lolz at anyone who believes anything other than it); I am a Broncos fan through and through. I respect the current Storm line up, I love some of the current Storm players (who all happen to be Queenslanders icon_thumbs_u ).
It's the same as my very vocal "agenda" against Corey Parker last season. Someone recently questioned me on him and I was the first to admit he changed his form around dramatically and is now the leading backrower at the club. I call it how I see it at the time.
I have never had an anti-Hunt agenda, people may read my posts as this, but they obviously don't sit with me at the footy or watch TV with me. I call all footy players how I see them**. Hunt was better than Slater until 2007 season. Slater has eclipsed him, IMO. That said, Hunt is still a brilliant player and athlete. Also, FTR, if I was picking the Australian team right now, neither Slater or Hunt would be in the team; Hayne would be my #1...then daylight.

The problem is the KHUNT lovers can at least admit Slater is a good footballer and most likely the better fullback. The Slater lovers won't even give credit to KHUNT for being a good footballer.
I'm a Slater-lover and I can and have admitted KHunt is a great footballer. That said it is plain as day that he is nowhere near as fast as he once was, has very little line break ability, an average passing game at best and if he gets bigger (this may not happen now, as AFL will try and not bulk him up) would have to try and find a niche as a wide running backrower.
I'm yet to see you, beads, give
any Storm player (not in a Maroons jersey when he makes a break/brilliant play) credit. Or in fact, give credit to a team which has made 3 GF's in a row.
**disclaimer; my biggest flaw as a Rugby League fan is I can't bring myself to give much credit to anyone in a Blues jersey. i have tried and I just can't.
