He's a good player no doubt and would be starting at some other clubs. Wanting it all yesterday seems to be a feature of Gen Y often to their detriment. The majority seem to lack the foresight to realise they'll be better players in the long term if they trust the development path older and wiser heads have set them. Dave Taylor and Ben Barba are two notable examples who kicked up huge stinks behind the scenes only to publicly appreciate their staggered development with hindsights benefit.

Update on the progress of resigning Hodges, as well as the possibility of Boyd coming back home.

It would be ridiculous if we did not resign Hodges. He must be the next signing we make.

Agreed, we need to lock up what we have including the young guns. We don't need another fullback/winger - unless Hook would see Boyd as a 5/8?Mister Wright said:

If he sees Boyd as a 5/8, he must have some great set plays up his sleeve.

Very doubtful of Boyd coming back IMO. Norman will be our 6 next season IMO.

If the Broncos are to let Hunt go it seems a waste to have him on the bench. They obviously have plans for him in the future otherwise they wouldn't be giving him game time.

I like Hunt I just feel Norman is suited to the 6 and Hunt is more of a hooker/half

Anderson - Toodles ! ... better than Carlaw and Tronc ... I'd rather keep Kenny
Hunt - Toodles ... don't care
Norman - #6 straight up next year is a good thing
We need to buy a hooker ... stop spending money on outside backs ... McCullough is rubbish and although you guys here like Baptiste - how far off being ready is he ?
priority #1 = buy a hooker
Oink !
Hunt - Toodles ... don't care
Norman - #6 straight up next year is a good thing

I agree with McCullough being crap. He's way underperforming. Looked promising when he first started but just hasn't developed. He really lets our team down sometimes. Hopefully I have to eat my words and he gets better but from what he's showed this year we could do much betterPigskin said:

We need a real hooker big time, I have no time for Macca at the moment. I have had a gutful of the ball being knocked out of his hand from dummy half.

fair call but I see Norman as being better on the right and much more similar to Lockyer
Bucking Beads said:
He's certainly the better runner out of Hunt and Norman. Not sure his passing or kicking games are anywhere near as good as Hunt though.
And defensively, Hunt would be better.
But really comparisons are pointless at this stage of their respective careers.
