Message: [QUOTE="Number6, post: 2880419, member: 9008"] Hunt isn't a bad defender at hooker. Other teams lose their hooker and fullback I.e. Parra) and don't leak so badly in middle. If loss of these guys is a cause (doubt the whole cause but is some of it) then three questions need to be asked. 1. How bad are the other guys to need so much help in defence? Have they not been footballers most of their life... 2. How does a professional team with best coaches not have a strategy to manage structure around injuries? 3. Why would a team have tactics so reliant on one or two players in defence? One injury and season over. Hell even the cowboys can win a couple of finals without JT. I think these is some loss in structure and more in myth that everyone including players buy into to their own detriment. Defence problems like gaping holes in the middle and failing to number up is largely a lack of attitude and effort combined with panic. Love Macca to go to a new level and be a premiership winning hooker but after so many years in first grade unlikely but hopefully Macca and coaches have been paying attention to what an attacking hooker can do at Broncs. Bird might be worth a try? Has a good pass, can make decisions in attack and defence and would be a real threat from dummy half. Big body could handle defence too. He wants to be closer to the action... use Macca for 20 as second hooker (only if speeds up service otherwise would even prefer Thaiday) and then can spend a bit of time at lock as our tackling machine for 30 mins.
