Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3278637, member: 9853"] [I]How's this for a job reference. [B]Wayne Bennett:[/B][/I] “I’m so pleased [B]Karmichael [/B]is back. Karmichael should have been their next captain and a Bronco for life, absolutely. If I never left the Broncos, Karmichael never would have left. I remember going into a contract meeting with Karmichael and the Broncos and he said to his manager, I don’t care what the Broncos offer me, I want to stay here with Wayne and I’ll take the offer. “ “Then I left the Broncos and he left 12 months later because they didn’t value him. They had a bit of a blue over money when his next contract came up and I don’t think they appreciated what he brought and who he was. Unfortunately, he won’t be at his best now because he’s at the wrong end of his career — but he should never have left the Broncos.” “NRL coaching might be his next stop and it wouldn’t surprise me at all. Karmichael is one of the greatest talents I ever worked with. Darren Lockyer, Darius Boyd and Karmichael made their debuts as teenagers and they were the only three to survive that, bringing them in so young. We won the premiership in 2006 and he was only 19. He was just outstanding in all facets. Not only tough, but a great trainer, had a great attitude, he was great to other teammates in the club." “Karmichael has always been a worldly sort of guy. He could be an NRL coach. I have no doubt he would succeed as a coach, he could achieve anything he sets his mind to. Hunt revealed he consulted Bennett on the prospect of coaching before launching his comeback with Broncos feeder-club Souths Logan this season." [I][B]Hunt:[/B][/I] “I’ve been chatting to Wayne over the last couple of years about seriously coaching. He said I didn’t have to get back into the game to play, but for me I wanted to get back in. I still feel like I can play the game, but absolutely, that NRL coaching is the goal." “I’ve played the game since I was four years old. This is home for me. I know I chose to experience different games and see what I could do professionally, but I always wanted to get back to league and give back. The best way I can do that is as a coach.” McHunt [/QUOTE]
