He's been so far off his great form last year.
i know, made me laugh when he said itMmmmm
Brandy thought he was great!
But what would he know????
Awful first halve, fantastic second half. Wonder if he copped a rocket at halftime.2nd half better then his first.
Had to spend HT in the reggies dressing shedAwful first halve, fantastic second half. Wonder if he copped a rocket at halftime.
I thought he was good too, Has size, power, pace, intimidation.The penalty he got done for was an absolute joke, nothing in it.
7 runs 86 metres with 41 post contact, 2 tackle breaks, 18 tackles with 0 missed and no errors.
All in 24 mins off the bench. ****ing enormous.

The post contact metres are more impressive than a standard 20 minute bench role. He really took some gas out of the defence on those runs and got us on the front foot.2 kick returns for 34 metres bumped up his stats.
Otherwise 5 hitups for 52m.
Those are standard numbers for a 20 minute bench forward. He did his job in attack. No more, no less.
Higher defensive work rate that last year is a positive. Brings him in line with the other bench forwards.
I don't put much weight in pcm's as an actual indicator of anything. If you think there were some runs where he dragged guys with him and got us on the front foot, that's a worthwhile contribution. More of a "watch the game" than "read the stats sheet" thing though.The post contact metres are more impressive than a standard 20 minute bench role.

Yeah he definitely was in the second half. If I remember correctly he had the first carry after we scored. Dragged us back to the 20, putting us on the roll where we scored again.I don't put much weight in pcm's as an actual indicator of anything.

Ultimately we all know that in a 20-25 minute bench role Hunt can play this way and be an asset. He deserves to keep his job in the currently lineup based on that performance, even with the 2 soft penalties. The real question is whether he can ever contribute more than that. I'm still doubtful.
This bloke scored that try at the start of the second half. The whistle was blown when his arm was at his highest point coming back up after he had put it down. Commentators were saying they had no audio which is pretty laughable for a million dollar bunker
