I agree 100% with you... I think the saying nowadays is "not all missed tackles are the same".
As you say you don't make it to origin and defend in the middle if you can't make a tackle.
I'm just pointing out that Bhunt has been a leading missed tackler since his last time at the Broncos, but...
He's been leading missed tackles since his time at broncos, so it's well known across the league at this point.
I think at times it's due to him going up high trying to slow down the backrower and wait for help, but gets bumped off / pushed back... like those JT tackles where he gets pushed...
I find it funny that they're trying to pin up Nathan Cleary as some sort of show piece for the game... he's the best player in the game, but not sure he's the best advertisement of the game.
He's basically Tom Brady... people know about Tom Brady, but his accolades are in the stats and trophies...
He just doesn't want it anonymous because he wants the inside goss on who said what so he can report on it, and at this stage he can't get that info.
If he wants to know outcomes of the survey then I'm sure Kevvie can tell him, because they would've been presented to him by DD and co... and...
He might be the backup 7 if Reynolds gets injured, but we know for sure that he will be the 6 for the first 9 weeks and playing on the left.
I'd prefer to see him playing the role we know he's currently playing for the first 9 rounds.... which is a second receiver on the left side and given a...
Looks like a full match replay has been uploaded to NRL.com

Coby might get picked again next week... can't see Madge wanting to play Reynolds and/or Bhunt much at all.
Reynolds could miss the match altogether, but Bhunt might get some game time given the new combinations... if that's the case then it needs to be with Madden, because there's no point...
I think of that list only Mozer and Semu are unlikely for round 1... Mam obviously suspended... but Koellner is T&T so he wouldn't have been available for round 1 anyway.
Some of those times he was splitting it with Mozer, when they were both at Souths Logan... or was that only last year?
Probably the only detraction from that is they didn't really gel all that well as a pairing... maybe that was more about Paix wanting his first grade spot back and Mozer trying...
I see that Sandon Smith is playing... so I'm guessing that means no punishment whatsoever for running a bloke's foot over and being found guilty for grievous bodily harm... good to know
Yep...it looked like he was playing outside the system, unlike Paix and Smoothy.
Running it when it wasn't really on, going for a 40/20, etc.
I think those things might have taken away from the good game he was having.
A hooker playing outside the system is why I think guys like Seggy and...
He's extremely frustrating.
Even if he does run a line I don't trust him to actually catch it... Gos ran a great line today and Madden put it on him for an almost try... I just can't see Riki being able to hold onto the ball that he did.
He's also athletic... 1910 has told us that he was...
You might be onto something... I thought all the second rowers looked better today than Riki did in the All Stars... might've been a difference in quality across the sides, but they're all first graders.
The energy coming from Gos, Piakura and Hunt was way higher than Riki... and their defence...
Yep the whole thing about expecting a year long suspension is craziness when 90% of the comp would be on coke and likely driven within the same timeframe as Mam, and were just lucky they didn't get a roadside at the same time... JAC and Trindall did exactly that and there's been **** all talk...
I'd be tempted to not play Reece... I want to see him in the structure and everything, but don't really want to expose him to nothing reserve graders that might be looking to take his head off
