[Rumour] The Hunt for Karmichael's return to Broncos.

[Ari Gold]

Could eventually take over Hodges centre spot. I'd prefer him in the centres for sure.

Someone eventually will, but Hunt's going to be 29 next year. He's not really of an age where we can afford to wait for him.

think he will only be 28, in the current game he could realistically have another 6 years, id gladly take him back.

 

[Painin the Haas]

He can fill in 1-6 and 9 easy so utility role of the benchwould suit him, come on and run amok in the middle, like a origin utility.

wing isn't a bad choice, he's played there before, he gets to do kick returns and his jumping for the ball must be the best int he comp with his afl experience. Also he is 10kg lighter so he'd faster too.

 

[austyphoon]

The only spot I could see him play is at centre. We've got Barba at FB and Milford in the halves next year so he's not playing in any of those positions and I don't think he'll come off the bench either. I can't see him wanting to come back to only be a bench player.

If Hodges comes back and remains injury free (doubtful unfortunately) then centre is also highly unlikely.

 

[Unbreakable]

I just can't see the need for him at the moment, once Hodges is back, we have plenty of depth at Centre/Wing, Barba is Fullback, Milford is Five-Eighth and B.Hunt is Halfback (At least until we buy a better one)

 

[Painin the Haas]

If we need to buy a better one

 

[Morkel]

I just remember him nearly Bird in half in an Origin game up here. Bird didn't know what hit him.

More than once :)

 

[mrslong]

i can see him as a centre. surely he has learnt how to kick in his time in afl which will be pretty valuable to us. maybe reed can fill the utility?

Learnt to kick? He was one of our best kickers, his 5th tackle options were almost always perfect.

It's an interesting puzzle. Presuming Hoffman leaves, and Ben Hunt hangs on to the 7, the Milford, Barba, K Hunt puzzle becomes interesting. And I think it necessitates Reed moving into the back row too.

1. Barba
2. Vidot
3. K. Hunt
4. Hodges
5. Copley
6. Milford
7. B. Hunt
8. McGuire
9. Macca
10. Parker
11. Glenn
12. Thaiday
13. Gillett

14. Reed
15. Kennedy
16. Hannant
17. J. Wallace

I just don't see why you'd sign K Hunt to play on the bench. You couldn't waste Milford on the wing or in the centres, so really the only options would be to play K Hunt in the backs, or shift B. Hunt to the bench again and have Milford and K.Hunt in the halves (which I would be reluctant to accept).

More than once :)

I just remember Bird taking a hit up on the NSW 20 and Hunt skewering him.

Was a top hit.

Looks good, any injuries to the halves and K pops in, unless Taylor, Strasser or Cullen etc stand out.

 

[Old Mate]

That backline screams destruction providing BHunt keeps proving and Milford guns it. And depending on how they're coached...

 

[benbarba]

Hunt would make a great, creative centre in the same mould as Jamie Lyon.

You could probably put him in 17 instead of J Wallace. Hard to find where he "Fits". He's a back rower, essentially, and we've got shitloads of them. Although I do get the feeling Glenn has hit his glass ceiling.

obviously as a club you don't want to be too fast in moving heaven and earth for talented teenagers but if this kid keeps his head in the game so to speak, the broncos might have to make a hard decision on someone in that backrow in the near future imo. Because there's no way you want to risk losing a kid like him.

I think so too, whoever is outside of him would score a buttload of tries.

Absolutely, he's a quality kid, that's for sure. Questionable whether Glenn/Gillett have much more to offer than what we're seeing now.
