Message: [QUOTE="jd123, post: 2807054, member: 9126"] Okay I will put my hand up. He cost us a title. I agree with the first part of your statement, but not the second. Pearl chooses his words wisely, if you follow him on Twitter he recently posted a picture of himself with Alf and WB and he said he was with two of his former mentors and leaders but one of the is "questionable". :porthozthinksthisishot: Yes sometimes the truth is hurtful and people would rather bury their heads in the sand, see that a lot here. Exactly. People talk about how x player has only been iN the team for x years or with the same playing group for x amount of time. How much is "that time" that is given until a player reaches their potential. I think Hunt has played the best he has ever played or possibly can play, he won't get any better and hopefully not much worse, but it comes down to the skills of the players. Yes practice makes perfect, or so they say, but to use a racing analogy you cannot expect a horse that went okay in the bush to be brought into the City and expect it to perform to those levels, some of them can and do, but it is because they were good enough in the first place, not because they were brought into that environment. That is the problem with our team, just because someone is in a position that was once or in Brisbane's case, usually filled with superstars does not mean that when you put someone else in that position they are going to be anywhere near as good or have as much of an impact. Peter Wallace was a perfect example of that, everyone talking him up, then each year it was becoming more and more apparent how ordinary he was. Best thing for Brisbane will be when Hunt gets on the bus to his retirement village in Sydney, good luck to him but to me he was and still is an over rated pipe dream that never showed the potential many believed he had. He is playing as good as he possibly can, he won't get any better. Don't know about that, I am a massive Hodges fan and he was one tough and talented mofo who could turn a game around and could be brutal in defence as well, his only weakness was over playing the dummy half role. Renouf on the other hand I think had the best balance of any footballer I have ever seen, he was so fast and able to just run outside his opposition and receive the inevitable ball from Kevin Walters that opened the other teams up, he also was clinical in defense, not a hard hitter but he always positioned himself perfectly. Both great centres IMO. [/QUOTE]
