Ben Hunt was awesome. The Cowboys game wasn't a fluke. If all it took was a: "Ben, the 7 is all yours for the next 18 months no matter what you do" then booya. Hope he gets the same latitude that Norman did (from the coach, club and fans). To me he will repay it in spades. His attitude seems better than Norman.
I think that's the thing that is most disappointing about how long it took for him to get given a proper go. Norman has never struck me as the type of guy who's happy to do what's best for the team, but Hunt has quietly done what was asked of him for the last few years, hoping for a chance. That he resigned this year despite the fact that the club persisted with Norman last year and then threw Prince a highly questionable lifeline at the start of the season says a lot about him, I feel.
