I'd say it's a matter of opinion. He has a mountain of talent and could be great. Having the mental fortitude is something else entirely.

I see Hunt next year as the DCE we all want but won't need as he will be wearing no. 6 :tongue_smilie:

Look at the contrasting careers of Hunt and DCE for a minute. Both boys had immense talent. Both were drafted young. DCE was thrust straight into first grade in his best position - Half Back - under a great coach in a well organised structure. Hunt was put on the bench and made to play backup Hooker.

rnabokov, I love a lot of your opinions about how the game should be played, but I think you go a bit too over the top with your favourite players, mainly Hunt, Gillett and Oates.

Brett Seymour is the next Allan Langer. Don't know who this imposter Ben Hunt is.

So I guess since we won our last game, Hook is not going to get sacked?

At this stage my bet is on Griffin being safe, support staff to take the fall.

I am getting the feeling Hook's arrogance and ego is going to stuff this team next year

Couldn't agree with you more. Hearing some of the shit he is dribbling it is as if he is thumbing his nose at anyone who questions the direction of the club. Yet he was happy to say he had lost confidence in Ivan. Please Henjak prob deserved more of a go then this fucking muppet.

Ahh the old ego line. Was wondering how long it would take for that old chestnut to be trotted out. How did you guys arrive to that intangible?
If anything, Hook could do with a bit of an ego. A lack of it was what ended Henjak in the end.

By ego I mean egotism: "Egotism means placing oneself at the core of one's world with no concern for others" which for me, sums up his coaching style based on his refusal to learn and adapt, like last night, when we kept on putting set plays on the left when it was bloody obvious they weren't on.
The thing he lacks is what Bennett had in spades: bringing out the individual's best, unfettered by the stamp of the coach's egotism

If that was true rna we wouldn't have seen the changes we did in Round 20 when he had the opportunity to make changes.
It's unfair to single Hook out for last night's inadequacies.
To blame it on alleged arrogance or ego is just a lazy over-exaggeration.

Yeah because hook told them to go left all night ha maybe it was because 98% of our tries come from there so why wouldn't you. Maybe we should get henjak back and then we can go right! !!!
