Our new halfback should be

No surprise the excuses come out.

They come out every time Taylor goes missing or stuffs up in those crucial stages of the game.

Ironic, how many excuses have been used in defence of Hunt? I'll save you some time, it's every excuse in the book.

Difference is age & experience, always has been.
 
Isn't there a thread for this Hunt vs Taylor crap?
 
Ben Hunt backs Darius Boyd switch to halves, Jordan Kahu at fullback for Broncos
external

BEN Hunt has backed Broncos teammate Darius Boyd to be his best replacement in the halves next season, joining a chorus of voices in favour of the move.
Boyd revealed earlier this year that he would not be opposed to the positional change from fullback to five-eighth next season, with Brisbane halfback Hunt on his way to the Dragons.
Club greats Darren Lockyer and Ben Ikin supported the idea last month and now Hunt has also revealed he thinks it could be the best move for the Broncos to make if they do not sign anyone else.
Boyd has done a lot of work with Hunt and his halves partner, Anthony Milford, over the last year and plays a massive part in the club’s attacking structures.
While his experience at fullback is valuable, Hunt said the Broncos already have the perfect replacement for the No. 1 jersey in their ranks in the form of winger, Jordan Kahu.

“A good option would be to have Darius and Milf in the halves and put Jordy at fullback,” Hunt said.
“It’s something I think the Broncos could do ... if they can’t bring anyone in that would be a pretty good option.
“We’ve always known he’s an extremely good talent, Jordy. He’s got all the skills. He’s a great fullback and has played there for New Zealand.
“You can put him anywhere really.”
Kahu has also stepped up in recent weeks to take more pressure off the halves, kicking two field goals in the last two weeks, and is looking for more ways to get involved.

The versatile back is on the verge of re-signing with the Broncos, alongside his good mate and fellow New Zealand international, Alex Glenn.
Kahu told The Courier-Mail recently he has been training at fullback on various occasions, under the watchful eye of Boyd, to maintain his skill in the position.
“Wayne (Bennett) understands that I love playing fullback and during the Origin period, if Darbs needs a break, I can fill in there,” Kahu said.
“I have to jump in there every now and then to make sure I’m not too foreign from that position and that I know all the plays. It also gives Darbs a break at training.

“He’s the best fullback in the game at the moment so I always keep an eye on what he’s doing during training. It’s awesome to have him.
“He’s always open for a chat and to give advice when it’s asked for.”
Meanwhile, centre James Roberts will be given until later this week to prove his fitness from a hamstring injury suffered in the warm-up for Brisbane’s loss to Canterbury.
While the hamstring troubled him throughout the game, it is understood he is responding well to treatment ahead of Thursday’s clash with the Roosters.

If that ends up happening, we should be preparing for a really, really bad 2018. I assume it's a "worst case scenario" kind of deal, if we miss out on every Halfback target.
 
Why wouldn't you just move Kahu into the halves than Hunt?! Such a silly man. It'll never work anyway, but Kahu would go so much better than Boyd in the halves.

Kahu is an excellent fullback. Not as good as Boyd, but excellent nonetheless

Kahu is a really good winger. We have had bad luck with wingers. I want Kahu to stay on the wing. I know Boyds kick returns haven't been great this year but Kahu has been worse. I also don't want to move Boyd to the halves. I want us to be able to play a half in the halves.

Fair enough.

FTR, I want Boyd to stay at fullback. I don't think he is the half we need to partner Milf.

I do however want to see Kahu in the centers.

I don't want to see that either. Where he is now works. Oates moving to the second row will weaken our wing depth enough. He needs to stay on the wing.
 
Wasn't kahu killing it at fullback When Darius was recovering from his Achilles injury? Although that was 2015 when our attack just clicked.
 
Why anyone would want Kahu at Fullback is beyond me, he's a great player, no doubt, but the speed at which he runs is a major issue. We can kind of hide it on the wing, but at Fullback he would literally cost us 10 metres every set. Boyd makes a run every set or two that picks up 10-12 metres, Kahu is just as likely to get absolutely pulverised and driven back 5 metres as he is to make 5 metres.

Kahu is a winger, nothing more, nothing less.
 
Oates really needs to be put in the 2nd row. Last week the metres gained by him were tremendous. Could help our attack heaps, providing great go-forward. He runs a real good line, 2015 game vs Panthers when he won the game for us
