Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2564861, member: 1899"] In hindsight, I should have gone to the effort to actually generate that meme, but it was just a quick thought that floated through my head. I agree with Ari on Hunt. Always thought we should have tried our very best to develop him as a half as I thought we were fine in the hooking departments and no doubt Griffin's decision to keep him as a bench utility has hurt his game a lot. I don't think he's the player the NYC Player of the Year made him out to be (same can be said about Beau Henry) but you just have to look at his opposite in Townsend to see what consistent opportunities in the halves can do for your game. However, Townsend's performance also highlights how important it is to have some support when it comes to playmaking. It's easy to shine when you have the likes of Johnson & Tomkins easing the pressure to create opportunities & unfortunately, Hunt had basically nobody else to play off the back of. Hunt really isn't the organisational type. He can run a decent short play where he has bodies in traffic, but he needs somebody else with a bit of confidence to keep things stable to give him those opportunities. He didn't have that this afternoon and all bar maybe one opportunity, basically HAD to go the bomb because the Broncos had built no momentum or were positioned awkwardly on the field. In saying that, Hunt had to call for the ball earlier and play like Wally and dictate those terms! Throw some different lines at players, keep the defence on their toes, work for a quick play the ball and play off the back of it. Trying to play footy on Tackle 4 each time is a recipe for disaster and if we continue to go down that path, we'll be getting used to a brand new coach in a matter of weeks. [/QUOTE]
