This is going to be a loooong !!! Off season
How is Johnson in similar circumstances? The biggest issue both of our halves have with this team is the lack of go forward from our forward pack. Please don't tell me you think the warriors have a poor forward pack.
Warriors starting forwards average running metres per game for 2016 -
Matulino - 116.8
Hoffman - 110.7
Lillyman - 106.0
Mannering - 90.0
Thompson - 87.9
= 511.4 running metres per game from their starting forwards
Broncos starting forwards average running metres per game for 2016 -
McGuire - 142.3
Parker - 123.9
Glenn - 99.1
Blair - 86.1
Gillett - 80.0
= 531.4 running metres per game from their starting forwards
Tell me again how good the Warriors forward pack was in 2016, please, I love it when people with no clue call me out.
Not trying to get into some argument but was just curious is there an avg minutes per game stat?
Hunt 2016 ~ 26 games played - 7 tries, 21 try assists, 12 line-breaks, 15 line-break assists, 1,442 run metres.
Johnson 2016 ~ 24 games played - 10 tries, 18 try assists, 15 line-breaks, 24 line-break assists, 1,610 run metres.
Man Johnson has some crazy stats for someone who only plays 7 minutes a game xD Imagine if he had a better coach, better attacking system, better Five-Eighth & better Fullback alongside him.. He'd nearly be better than Ben Hunt!
Any stats on who kicked the ball touch in goal more times in a season ?...that would be a bloody close one.
Nah unfortunately not haha, I tried to find a stat for forced goal line drop-outs etc, but couldn't find anything.
0-21.
So why all this hullabaloo about potential signings?
People looking to entertain themselves in the off season
ExactlyJust think it is because some people don't think Hunt is the right fit for halfback for the current team, but there is no other player on the market that offers the necessary skills to fit their requirements for halfback (better than Ben Hunt).
Therefor they think that Hunt should be kept, at least in the short term, until a better option arises.
The Broncos don't have to commit to anything, on the contrary. Yearly instalments it should be until one of two things happens:The Broncos can't keep updating Hunt's contract in yearly installments, they've got to commit now.
Either there's better options, or there isn't.
