Not as fullback though.Broncos did win a premiership with Hunt as well.

He played about 75% of the season at fullback. Its just that he was still only 19 and Hodges had an absolutely unstoppable year in attack where he made breaks at will and the Broncos banked on the insane run of form and the extra experience of pre-injuries Hodges.Not as fullback though.

Anyway, watching tonight's game, I might be coming around lol. It'll still take a few years of consistency I can't help but feel Walsh is becoming more and more similar to Slater. He's definitely a better passer than Slater, but its his insane speed off the mark going from 0 to 100 like he's in a fast and furious movie that allows him to create space for his outside men. Hunt never had that speed, though his superior ball playing made up for it. So even though Walsh was a bit rusty tonight, if he keeps improving his passing and adds the extra tools Hunt had...well, there's no substitute for pure speed, especially speed off the mark.
Nitpick would be pointing out he was born in november so 19 would be correct for 2006 seasonNot to be a Nitpick but he was 20 in 2006 he was born in 86.
FMD he was young when he joined lol, thank **** for the no restriction on age back then, making Suaalii look average before he even played.Nitpick would be pointing out he was born in november so 19 would be correct for 2006 season
Will always be a big 'what if' over his careerFMD he was young when he joined lol, thank **** for the no restriction on age back then, making Suaalii look average before he even played.
I was a massive Karmichael fan - still am - but Reece is more electric and as exciting as any footballer I've ever seen. No slight on Hunt, but I'm picking Walsh.If you could sign a 21yr old Walsh or Hunt on a longterm contract,
for the same amount of money, which one would you take?

13/17 games in 2006 were at fullback. Hodges only played seven games at fullback.
Are you kidding me Hunt was that young when he defected!?Just going by talent, I think I'd go with Hunt. He was insanely good so early, he was only a year older in his last season than Walsh is now, and already had multiple great years. He lacked some pace but his ball playing was amazing.
I’m sure his millions of dollars earns was worth it! Sad for us, good for him!Its the thing that stops the love for Kunt from me.
He threw away what could be argued as the best years of his RL life (and in turn, the MOST valuable years for Brisbane) by chasing kick & giggle and Rugby Yawnion dreams.........
A huge disappointment for mine......
