All the Hunt speculation was made because everyone was convinced the Broncs were gonna get their cherry. But I can't fathom why the eagles would let that happen. Even if the Broncs did manage to get DCE, I wouldn't be surprised if they made Hunt play 5/8 along side DCE, no?

He has had a huge year that's for sure but no way is he worth 750k IMO.

I wouldn't have a problem going to 600 maybe even 650 but 750 is too much considering what we have seen from him so far.

Another season of this level and he can start talking about that sort of money.

I actually wouldn't mind holding on to Todd's money next year to make Hunt an offer for 2016, if he can't get released for 2015 that is. There's slim pickings for next year but a wealth of talent for 2016. We'd be better off waiting.

However, Hunt is apparently on 200k and is a real possibility of winning the Dally M this year. He might want an early upgrade?

Okay so we will jut save the money, buy a few more front rowers and deal with Robson for another year?

ffs im sick of this attitude of being unwilling to part with big coin for big players.

The best don't come cheap, I'm sorry but if we wanna be contenders we need the quality halves, we just dumped one and we are now seeing the repercussions of that.

800k for a 24/5 year old talented kid, or save that money for the 200k robson….

Can't see Brisbane being able to keep Hunt if they snag DCE. Don't forget they're already over the cap.

DCE's is going to be an intriguing contract to watch play out. Manly won't want to let him go, but the broncos are not a team to tolerate being out of the winners circle as long as they have. I think his next contract will be the most expensive in the game to date. For our sake, break out the brown paper bags broncos!

Yep we need to go hard, but not straight off the bat. Don't offer him super crazy money straight up. Gee we'd have a good spine though if we snagged him, the future would be very exciting.

Last year Hoffman would have been amazing, he sucks at playing in the halves but you have to wonder how much of that is resentment over his current situation?

This is exactly how we end up with a massive deficiency in a particular position though.

He's good, but so far he's not really a big player.

He'll become that big player. And he's cheaper now than he will be when he becomes that big player.

Straya ****!
We gotta pay overs to get people here because we are the worst club in the nrl along with Canberra to go too, unless you're old or a forward you don't wanna come here.we have to change that! Pay 800k for hunt along with brown and a centre we have a good back line. Get some attacking structures in place and post gallen we are a good side. We only have battering rams but a smart half and hooker make average forwards a hell of a lot better , look at Norrie for Melbourne not the best forward in the game but owns that number 10 now
We have Ennis coming and if we get hunt plus some structure we will play finals football again and will be better than the team we had that lost to manly in the finals
