Message: [QUOTE="subsbligh, post: 2623361, member: 1950"] What was it that Bennett, Henjak and Griffin all saw in him as deficient that kept him out of the number 7 in first grade for [B]6 years[/B] behind some pretty weak competition (Wallace, Norman and to a lesser extent Prince)? Johns, Langer - straight from under 18s to top flight NRL and beyond. Ben Hunt - served an apprenticeship for 5 seasons and, but for some pretty terrible recruitment decisions (Prince lifeline contract which lead to the culling of Norman and Wallace ahead of him by default), may never have played first grade 7. He got his chance by default and has shined. He was kept of of decisive NRL finals matches in place of makeshift playmakers (was it Glenn in 2009 versus the Storm after Wallace went down and then Gillett in 2011 after Lockyer's knock). There was obviously something missing for all those years. I don't know what it was (maybe his organisational/building pressure skills - he's a great individually brilliant player), but has he found that this year? [/QUOTE]
