Re: It's time to go...
The Hunt worshipers can name one single game from Hunt where he and (mostly) Norman carved up the Raiders. They tend to forget that when he could and should have made his mark in two consecutive pre-seasons, he was AWOL. They also seem to think they know better than the coaching group, who has put everyone ahead of Hunt in the halves, and once they lost Norman (whom I bag in the halves, despite him being consistently better than Hunt), announced they are looking for a playmaker in the open market.
If the team doesn't keep improving and we get no results from the current halves combination, by all means give him a go, which I believe should've been the case when Wallace was in horrible form in the past. There is absolutely no justification for this now, none! Especially not when Hunt has been an integral part of what has been working well for us, with him coming in against tired forwards and giving us an edge.
After 6 rounds where our defense has been excellent (bar that second half against Manly) and our attack is so much better than last year, even with that hiccup against the chooks (who seem to be keeping a lot of teams to 0), people still have a tantrum because Prince doesn't shit golden eggs, and are convinced Hunt is the second coming... :001_rolleyes:
So yeah sure... Let's take Prince out, move Hunt to Halfback, Wallace to five-eight and Baptiste to the bench for at the very least 6 or 7 games, because that will definitely improve everything. And if it doesn't, and suddenly our combinations suffer with it, Hunt fails in the position and we end up at the bottom end of the ladder, well... at least we tried! :glare:
I don't have an agenda against Hunt, I just don't wank desperately over him, big difference!
Haha, pull the other one! :finger:porthoz has a massive agenda against Hunt.
