Message: [QUOTE="bronco89, post: 2587083, member: 8642"] [b]Re: Benny Hunt.........The best Halfback in the game![/b] Completely disagree with those calling him a 5/8. He does organise. He organises the centre of the park. He has to play first receiver cos he is better with a flatter defensive line in front of him. His running goes through the bigger forwards. If he was 5/8 he'd be taking the centres and 2nd rowers on when hitting the line and would need greater footwork like Johnson, DCE or the size of Sutton. He plays best in the middle third of the attacking line and not as good as a link man, as seen when given the 5/8 position. And yes, there's a big difference between 6 & 7 in our style cos we dont split the 6 and 7 between left and right. If you look at DCE he plays a lot of second receiver. Glenn Stewart usually plays first receiver on that right side other than play 5. Foran plays left. DCE would be more of a 5/8 than Hunt is. Plays much better with a lot of room in front of him and has better footwork than Hunt. Hunt is like Alfie and the classic halfbacks who play better with a short defensive line in front of em and tiring forwards. He does have a poor kicking game at the moment but thats because the defence knows its going straight to him every time. We need a better 5/8. I think if Hunt played 4-5 years of halfback like DCE has he'd be just as good as him Just my opinion though. [/QUOTE]
