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.

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.

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.

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.

On the eye test, he genuinely looked to be running with more fire and purpose in the second, penalties aside. A tired dogs pack could also be a factor there.

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

I thought he took a tad too long to get it down, would have been surprised if they awarded it so I am not too upset about the eventual decision/outcome

But if the ref hadn't deemed tackle complete or called held by the time the ball was planted should have been awarded as you said

Commentators said they went off when the ref had the whistle in his mouth, but the ball was down well before he blew it.

I missed the start of the second half so only just saw it. I rewound a few times to actually see if he had and it's clear as day.

The ref was right there too and went up as a no try. Massive butcher. I'm surprised it hasn't been talked about at all. Try. Pretty sad for a million dollar bunker that can't replay something with sound.

The whistle was in refs mouth before he grounded it.

The refs have been a joke all season (and not just our games) in general

It’s appalling how bad the bunker is especially.

The on field refs don’t have much time to make a decision but still some of the calls are very bad!

Well he raised it to his mouth after watching it unfold so I'm guessing he put it there for a reason. But yeah maybe not, might've just been getting ready.

He puts it in his mouth then starts to back up, then blows it. Have a look at Royce's arm it's all the way up in the air as it's being blown which is after it's been grounded. Video ref called the play as the whistle went to his mouth. I know players are told to play to the whistle, surely this is no different. Can't call a play over because the ref thought to himself it's done. There has to be a call.

I only watch our games once, twice if it was a win & I got time to kill mid week. So I'm running off an intoxicated memory thats 4 days old.

Stop picking on me.

Two worst this year imo are the Sam Walker one on the captain’s challenge and the Bunnies one vs the Dolphins where the winger is sitting in touch.

“We have no touch from the Roosters”. It hit him square in the arm and bounced off him ffs. How can you miss that?

… on the Dolphins one, it was a clear case of them just not knowing the rules. You could see clearly that the Dolphin’s player touched it while he was out, but they called that play on. Ffs my 14yo called it straight away live on the tv but these idiots get to watch it from 43 different angles with a rule book next to them and can’t get it right.

Come to think of it, that whole Bunnies v Dolphins game was a bunker cluster****. Probably 3-4 absolute howlers in that one. Bunker officials must have been high.
