What issue with his age ?Only saw him a few times he replaced o'hara and he was quite good definitely my pick of the halves. spent time at five-eighth with Brimson at 7 then moved to halfback and isaako played 6. His age might be an issue

Also another solid option who Bennett must rate is Darren Nicholls. He is only a back up at the panthers. Age is an issue probably another Shane perry kind of player
Sign him up for what? To play for Redcliffe again? There is a reason that he is a second tier journeyman. A decent player but nowhere near NRL standard.While I really wanted to see Nicholls play for us, I doubt he'll come back unless guaranteed a starting spot.
Due to his age (which isn't that old, but old for a rookie) and reserve grade journeyman career, he will probably stay in Sydney due to the Panthers having a biscuit team (potential for a spot) and proximity to other NRL teams that need emergency halves this season.
But if he's willing, I'd sign him up tomorrow

And how good did the roostets' season turn outThe only scenario I see Hunt getting dropped is if A) He's playing worse than he did in 2016 or B) We're losing a lot of games and collectively decide that there's no real chance of winning a premiership this year.
Hopefully we get J.Nikorima back, then we'd have quite a few options (Not saying any of them will be immediately good or an upgrade on Hunt, but it'll be a good experiment to try 2 or 3 of them out, similarly to what the Roosters did in 2016 by testing J.Nikorima, Watson, Hastings & Matterson)
I wouldn't mind seeing a couple of games at Halfback out of K.Nikorima, J.Nikorima & Scarlett.
A halfback needs to be ingrained in a team for a long time in my mind. Why simply buying a halfback won't work straight off the bat.Because it's been proven time and time again that treating the halfback position like a merry go round doesn't achieve anything.
That's why I don't think we should bin Hunt just out of spite. We should spend this year preparing Kodi to take over next year. If he doesn't look like getting up to standard then we go to the market.Because it's been proven time and time again that treating the halfback position like a merry go round doesn't achieve anything.

It worked with Maloney because if Townsend. Townsend knew the club, players and culture before hand.

That's pretty arbitrary, the Roosters weren't treating the Halfback position like a merry go round, they were treating Fullback, Five-Eighth & Halfback like a deck of cards that they were shuffling. And they did it from Round 1 as well, due to the suspension of Pearce. In the scenario I listed we wouldn't be initiating the merry go round until 2/3's of the season in, and we wouldn't be shuffling any other positions, it'd be just exchanging Hunt for someone else, next man up, nothing about our game plan or structure would change.
And besides, I find it pretty unlikely that we're playing that poorly 2/3's through the season that Wayne says "**** it" and just throws a Nikorima or Scarlett in there, but you never know, 1 or 2 injuries to key players and we may be fighting to avoid the bottom 4.
