Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2993005, member: 1899"] Looking back through those Hunt threads, I'm surprised how cordial most fans were. The majority of the posters in the Hunt to Rugby thread thought it was in his best interest to travel and held out hope that he'd return. There was a vocal minority that derided the move, but they weren't Hunt's biggest fan to begin with. Their animosity stemmed from the Billy Slater vs. Karmichael Hunt thread, aka a pissing contest to see who could embellish the other players flaws the most. The only other noteworthy thing from that thread was that it went down a weird tangent where the brainstrust at BHQ wanted to sign Anthony Minichiello as Hunt's replacement. In hindsight, the Count couldn't have been much worse than Hoffman, Norman or Barba but that's a fairly low bar. The Round 1 2010 thread was also surprisingly reserved. The general sentiment seemed to be pleased with Norman's performance, but they weren't about to call him a superstar just yet. Of course there were a few fans who were sold on him from the get go and speculated that Norman would become a great of the game. Otherwise the majority of the thread was more concerned about Andrew Johns awarding Johnathan Thurston 2 points in the Dally M poll. That's a different generation in fairness. A lot of the more vocal members have moved on and the posters that replaced them all have different takes on Hunt. These days I'd imagine the overall opinion of Hunt is more balanced. [/QUOTE]
