Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 2766669, member: 1769"] If it makes you feel better to blame Hunt for the GF defeat ... go right ahead ... but there are several other key moments that contributed to the loss well before golden point started. FTR, while he may have won the Clive Churchill medal ... his opposite number didn't have his greatest game either. Now, If you are implying that we should replace Hunt with Taylor, then there is no way i can even remotely agree with that. I make no secret of the fact that I am a big fan of young Taylor and think his ceiling is far higher than Hunts is, but right now in 2016 Hunt is the superior player ... probably will be for 2017 as well, now lets have a look at how bad Hunt is really going this year: [B]Try Assists: [/B]19... that puts him in 1st place (1 ahead of Thurston and 2 ahead of Cronk; while Taylor has 10 putting him in 24th place) [B]Line Breaks: [/B]9 which puts hime miles ahead of Cronk who has 5 JT who has 4 and Taylor who has 4 [B]Line Break Assists: [/B]11 (which does put him a bit behind JT who has 18, and just behind Cronk who has 14, but ahead of Taylor who has 9 [B]Tries [/B]5 (half as many as Cronk, but equal with Taylor and ahead of JT who has 2) and remember Thurston and Cronk are on double Hunt's salary, but he is more than matching it with them. If our forward pack can regain some form and stop being dominated every week, then Hunt can once again lead us to the GF. but he can't do it behind a beaten pack. [/QUOTE]
