Message: [QUOTE="Pigskin, post: 2482423, member: 1858"] I don't really understand this groundswell of support for Hunt. I mean the guy has probably played 80 or 100 games or something in a limited capacity and invariably out of position. I have never seen him really stamp himself on a game. I just don't see it in him. At the same time I don't hate him. I guess most around here just are not convinced due to his lack of opportunities. But even in his bit part roles, and occasional lead role, hasn't he been given a chance to catch fire ? Surely at some point over all his games by now he would have told eveybody watching, "i've arrived and you have to pick me" ... but he hasn't. At the same time, Wallace, whilst not setting the world on fire, has been a really solid performer. He has put his body on the line and in the absence of much help has done a servicable job. To such an extent that he's played some origin and his position has rarely been questioned by those that count. My personal opinion is that we should have groomed him as a hooker a few years back. He certainly tackles well enough and his service would figure to be good, certainly no worse than Macca's. I think he would have been better long term at hooker. I guess in a market with limited options, people are clutching at straws. Ben Hunt at the Knights would have a similar role to what he has here currently. And will have similar impact most likely. The answer might not be out there at all currrently. We may just have to wait a while for the next big thing to come along. And I might add, we probably deserve this sort of situation. We have not actively recruited for such a long time and finally our crop of young blokes perhaps are not going to reach Origin standard collectively that we probably need them to. Oink ! [/QUOTE]
