Message: [QUOTE="Mister Wright, post: 2777812, member: 2160"] People get so short sighted after we lose. Since Ben Hunt & Anthony Milford have been our full time halves combination we have been 6 seconds away from a grand final win and made it to the 2nd week of the finals where we were 90 seconds away from taking out last year's premiership winning team on their home turf. Both players are still young and have most of their football in front of them. Milford is only in his 4th season (maybe even 3rd) and only his 2nd as a starting 5/8. Ben Hunt is only in his 2nd season as a starting halfback, it would be very short-sighted of us to give up on this pairing so early in their combination. The likes of Thurston, Smith, Cronk & Slater only have a few years at best left in them and once they go they're going to leave a big hole in the premiership. I'm sure hoping when they do, that we have an experienced halves pair who experienced what it was like to be taken out by a champion in the closing stages and will grow into those roles. I sure as hell do not want to have a new partnership that don't share those attributes and have to rebuild right at the time we should be dominating. So for me, if we are to lose Hunt to Parramatta it would be the biggest loss in the club's history given everything in context. I'm not talking about players that we never had, I'm talking about players we have had. We must keep this pairing together. [/QUOTE]
