Message: [QUOTE="Lockysillegitimatechild, post: 2904768, member: 8814"] I actually don't think knik is our long term option (t Boyd or paix sound like players we may be able to gamble that option on) and I agree hunt is better then knik but pleeeeease tell me how he is so far ahead of knik. Running game? Um prob even. Defence? Hunts is better but nothing to hang your hat on. Organising or kicking game? The 2 things people hate about hunts game so I doubt they can be miles ahead if they are so bad in everyone's opinion. Game breaking ability? If knik breaks even on games he loses us via buckling under pressure/wins us then he will be ahead of hunt here. Passing game? Weird that Gillett and Roberts game lifted last year then, running nice lines off of short balls if hunts passing game is soooo far ahead of kniks. Once again, hunt is definetly the better option, but more then triple the money better on a deal that will take him well into his 30's and potentially make us say goodbye to t Boyd and paix & mean we don't get j bird level better? I don't think so. I don't think anywhere near.... So, instead of people just continuously saying knik isn't good enough please offer us up a solution? Have the above scenario-which wouldn't get us a premiership anyway because hunt obviously has a few skeletons in the closet (he may get rid of them with a change of clubs admittedly but he wouldn't have taken us to a premiership with his mental blockages post 2015, you could see him change). Buy an "organising" halfback? Name one please that'd cost around the same money and be a better option. Outlay millions and millions on a player yet to play reps or even a finals match and block the way for paix and t boyd again and lose other players due to Salary cap? Have I covered every option? Knik isn't the next Alfie but he has talent. He isn't the prototype perfect halfback for our team but could we change our game to suit his strengths (eg 2015)? He's our best option and he deserves a chance after winning 11/13 last year (I'm not getting in to a stats debate and whether he got hooked 2 games or didn't start 2. No matter which way you twist it HE DID HIS JOB AND EARNED A SHOT- my guess is if he was the "next big thing" in the media this 11/13 record as a ROOKIE halfback (despite the opposition-10 teams from a 16 team comp so I don't get that argument) this would be used to justify the hype. And yes, he is a rookie halfback... Sorry for the long comment everyone.... [/QUOTE]
