Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2689249, member: 1899"] Yeah, at least White Goodman had a personality. I kid, I kid. If nothing else, Hook always presented himself as a good bloke. There's a better comparison to be made, but Dodgeball is an oldy but a goody. As for Hunt, his time spent off the bench was beneficial...in 2010...when Griffin persisted with it for three seasons that's when it became a detriment. Hunt was never going to make it as a dummy half and Brisbane desperately needed somebody who could create tries. At the time, I tried to rationalise it by saying the Broncos arrangement in the ISC wasn't suitable for Hunt's development because I couldn't think of any other plausible reason. Hunt's surge in form really hurt Hook's credibility as it made the board question why this kid wasn't given a proper go sooner. Hindsight is always 20/20 but fans were calling out for a 9. McCullough 14. Baptiste combination from 2011, so it isn't like fans weren't aware of Hunt's ability at halfback. Hook's work with the NYC side was good, but his bad work with the NRL side will always outweigh those positives. [/QUOTE]
