Message: [QUOTE="Unbreakable, post: 2564850, member: 8290"] I've been the biggest roller coaster fan and hater of Ben Hunt since he first came into the team, some days I think he's absolutely phenomenal and is the answer to our halves problem, then other days I watch him and he literally looks like he's never played Halfback in his life. I'm starting to honestly believe that it's a combination of problems that leads to his inconsistent performances - Consistently a different Five-Eighth along side him - [B]20%[/B] Doubting his ability to control the team - [B]30%[/B] Horrible coaching, attacking structure - [B]50%[/B] I was unbelievably excited about this season, mainly to see how well Hunt gelled with Barba, but I don't see it happening whilst we're constantly chopping and changing Five-Eighths and while Griffin is in charge. Ben Barba is a Fullback, and a damn good one, all the talk of him being an answer at Five-Eighth is non-sense at this stage of his career, he hasn't got a great passing and kicking game, and he's a liability in defense. If we gain some positives out of 2014, it needs to be off the back of Hunt, and the only way Hunt is going to start putting up consistent performances is if he has the same Five-Eighth next to him for a majority of the season, and if we either sack Anthony Griffin or we hire someone to coach our halves properly (Similar to what Johns did with Foran & Cherry-Evans in Manly) I personally would have Nikorima there for Round 1, we simply don't have many options, Strasser seems to be slightly more level headed than Kodi, but he doesn't bring the X-Factor that Kodi does, which our attack desperately needs. After (Hopefully) a full season of watching Nikorima and Hunt working together in the halves, we'll have to make a choice of which one is our future, the person to partner Milford in 2015. Mind you Milford hasn't proven himself in the halves either, so we could potentially have the exact same problem in 2015, but let's hope not. [/QUOTE]
