Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2699641, member: 2221"] Hunt is nowhere near the top in those stats. Regardless, BP already said it, but I seriously do not understand what TA and LBA have to do with organisation, pressure and control. I would bet we are one of the lowest ranked teams in repeat sets for example, which would be a better metric for it. In terms of consistency, you could say that Hunt is below average with his 5th tackle options on a very regular basis. I'm not trying to bag Hunt at all. I think he's very valuable, but not as the controlling half he needs to be, due to having Milford next to him, who is even less of a controlling half. Despite how well the latter has been going at 5/8, I still maintain there is nothing he has done there, that he couldn't do from fullback, where I would have him play. (let's not bring the Boyd argument into this please) As weird as it may sound, I think Hunt would be better served playing 5/8 alongside a player like Adam Reynolds or even Trent Hodkinson, because it would allow him to do what he does best. Use his skills and vision to grasp the moments, and leave the kicking to the side line and grubbers for repeat sets to his halfback. There aren't many players out there like Locky, who was a fantastic clutch player, but also very capable in controlling a game. I'm not sure Hunt can get there, but I certainly hope so! [/QUOTE]
