Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 2787257, member: 1769"] [b]Re: Should the Broncos release Ben Hunt?[/b] It is no secret that I am a big fan of Hunt ... there is absolutely no way we should release Hunt without someone better to take his place. Hunt's stats were inflated during 2013/14 given that he was carrying the burden of our attacking plays, now he has Milford who gets a fair share of the ball and takes some of the attacking responsibility I actually think that the dropped ball in the GF rattled him more than we thought this year. he needs to get back to what he does best. I maintain that Hunt does have the ability to be a decent kicker, we have seen that at different times, however, when there heaps of pressure put on him, he seems to resort to his default setting, which is bomb and pray. rectifying Hunt's kicking game, is not as hard as it seems, but it requires the help of his team mates. Firstly, we need to get Macca and Milf to kick more frequently. right now the opposition teams know that there is a 90% chance that Hunt will kick the ball, that allows them to get in his face and pile on the pressure. secondly, it requires the pack to get him into good positions, with a quick play the ball on the last. The other major gripe that some people have with Hunt is his game management. and that comes down to experience IMO. people need to remember as a top grade halfback he is relatively inexperienced. Yes I know he is 26 with 150 first grade games under his belt, but for 100 of those games he was playing an average of 15 minutes/game as a bench hooker. that doesn't exactly give you the ability to learn how to close out tight games. (and neither does the NYC for that matter) FTR, Halfbacks better than hunt IMO are: Thurston Cronk Halfbacks with POTENTIAL to be better than Hunt: Johnson - He is just so damn inconsistent. he can be brilliant, there is no question, but most of that brilliance seems to come against lesser teams or once the Warriors (or Kiwis) have already lost the match. Taylor - This kid will be a star one day as he has all the tools to be the best in the business, but he is a long way from that yet. [B]TL;DR: Hunt is good M'kay[/B] [/QUOTE]
