[QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 2843240, member: 8988"] I think to change any of the spine but particularly the organising half, things have to be dire. Once its done, there's no going back. That effectively ends that players involvement with the team (you could use hunt as a utility, but to what point). You build a team and its tactics around those player's strengths and weaknesses. Broncos were starting to show the kind of football that suited both hunt and Milford, running late in the tackle rather than attacking kicks in opponents halves, whilst using the forwards superior fitness by kicking early to get field position (macca's strength, both with dummy half kicks and stamina). Boyd's running game is sacrificed, but its not his strength, whilst he becomes a third half in attacking plays. I'm not saying replacing hunt or anyone else in the spine will send the team into a death spiral but the whole team will have to change to what a new half provides and that means huge disruption. Knik filled in superbly but surprisingly was allowed to play off dominating forward packs. Even then he couldn't kick. You got to play with what you got. How does the team get down field when dominated in the pack? Do you see your forwards buggered and kick for touch or are their forwards ready to be broken open. I'm not saying hunt is perfect or even particularly good at those calls, but with the possible exception of macca he's better than anyone else. I've been waiting for Boyd to take on that responsibility but he hasn't. Macca can't do it at hooker. That leaves the two halves. I'd swap all the great passes and kicks of any of them for one of them to stand up and see the right end of set play the way Cronk or smith does. Innes used to as well. Its a big part of a successful team, and vastly under appreciated. [/QUOTE]
