Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 2788148, member: 1769"] I absolutely deny that. Hunt came 3rd in Try Assists for 2016 with 21 (only 4 behind JT and 2 behind Cronk) I also strongly believe he takes on the line more than any other halfback in the comp. Hunt had 12 line breaks (the only halfback to have more was Shaun Johnson, Milford was the only 5/8 ahead of him) this suggests he takes on the line a fair bit. He also had 15 line break assists (with the only halfbacks ahead of him Cronk, JT and Johnson) sometimes i swear some people would prefer that we got a repeat set instead of a TRY. Let me ask you something now: D[B]o you think that 100% of the kicking responsibility in a game should fall on Hunt? [/B]I only ask this because Milford seems to be getting a free ride here. Milford actually has a decent short kick on him. so why doesn't he take some of the kicking responsibility close to the line, if he is better at it than Hunt? or is Hunt the only one allowed to kick? Milford is still a half and should take on his fair share of kicking, especially if he wants to be one of the best (because that is still one of his roles) and you know what, if Milford actually increases his kicking load, it may actually put some doubt in the defenders minds about who will kick the ball, giving Hunt less pressure and more time to perform his kicks. FTR your golden boy Taylor (172 Kicks) actually kicked around 100 times less than Hunt (272 kicks) and around 60 less than his halves partner Tyrone Roberts (231). [COLOR=#333333][FONT=&quot][I]It's when we are in the last 20 of the opposition on the 5th against a set defense, where his glaring flaws come to the fore.That's where a good halfback takes the line on, and depending on the circumstances, earns a repeat set, or reverses the direction of the attack and takes a pin point cross kick, or finds a hole to put one of his running players through.[/I][/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=&quot][I]These will be the circumstances in most games against the better teams, and where Hunt is definitely below average.[/I][/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
