Round 21 - Broncos vs. Eels - Build Up Thread

[Bucking Beads]

Apparently Norman is in doubt as well.

 

[Browny]

Is this a bad thing?

Ben Hunt will take his place if he can't play too.

 

[IBA]

Hunt to start, Baptiste to bench. Not a huge issue. Some could argue an upgrade...

 

[noisetheory]

i would like to see how it goes with hunt starting.

Me too.

 

[Old Mate]

Fok yeh, what's the bet if Hunt gets a chance with Wal we destroy the Eels big time?

 

[jarro65]

If the Wallace/Hunt combo creates some nice attacking plays and gets us into more positive areas when we're in attack, then i think Hook has no choice but to keep Hunt at 5/8.

Be very interesting to see how they go.

Norman is better. Everyone's first full season in grade is a long one. An injury won't be a bad thing, might freshen him up a little.

Then Hunt must be an absolute turd...

Hunt's quality squad depth and that's the extent of it. I've said it for a while now and haven't seen anything to change my mind.

So you're judging how he plays at 5/8 while watching him come on late in both halves as replacement hooker ??

 

[m1c]

I said he is good for squad depth, an opinion formed years ago. He's a triangle who can cover 6, 7 and 9 - you hope he doesn't play because it means one of your starters is out. Let me know if I've missed something that would alter that point of view.

He was all kicks to Yow Yeh in the 20's. Given he has barely spent time in the halves since the Toyota Cup I'm going to suggest he may have even regressed as a 7.

 

[Coxy]

Squad depth instantly makes him more valuable than Norman, who is simply taking up a jersey.

 

[m1c]

I'm content to call the rest of the season a write off for Corey. 2013 is make or break for him.

It's the recession we had to have ...

 

[m1c]

It's not uncommon - the kids struggle to see out their first full season or two of first grade.

 

[Broncoman]

Thank god we've got depth. Has Hunt played in the halves before?. Let's see how the Wallace/Hunt partnership goes, it could be the one that clicks.
