Message: [QUOTE="2ndPhase, post: 2749675, member: 8998"] Well, we've been given opportunities to both love him and hate him during any of the 80min this season. And that tension doesn't look like changing anytime soon. Excels at the spontaneous and is absolute balls at the organization. Maybe he's talented but just not particularly intelligent. And when we're up against it and need some cunning to reestablish some momentum and control he just doesn't have the thought processes or intellectual composure to think through it. I don't know the guy, but maybe others here who have more to do with the team can tell us if he's just not a thinker. And isn't likely to become one (I don't mean that in a disrespectful way, but more just how he is wired). We seem to play 20% of the game at the oppositions line and 80% coming out from our line. It's just the way our defensive structure seems to put us in that position. So who's drilling Hunt during the week to have options and plans (especially 4th and 5th tackles) to put the team in the best position to kick effectively Etc. Even if it takes a few disciplined sets to regain some territory. When you think of players like Cronk, Lockyer and even JT. You can tell they are generally thoughtful and act with intent. Even when they're backed against a wall. I don't mind losing if we are competent, but get beat by a better team on the night. It's the moments of incompetence and lack of thought that is really pissing me off lately. If we are in the oppositions half by the third tackle often enough we will put on the points every night of the week. But how often are we kicking on the fifth from half way or our 40m line and all we plate up is a freaking bomb and the opposition is on tackle 1 on there 30m line. You've got to love Benny and what he can bring to the table. But if he's not peaking and absolutely killing it, he doesn't seem to have a go to base line to just get the job done. [/QUOTE]
