Message: [QUOTE="bazza, post: 2634911, member: 8440"] For me, the only reason people might believe DCE is a better player than Hunt is due to the fact he's had more years playing as a halfback. If Hunt had played all his first grade football at halfback instead of being dudded as a hooker, in my opinion Hunt would be the better player. Hunt was the better halfback all through the grades, especially in NYC. However what benefited DCE was his time playing in the QLD cup as a halfback, where in contrast, Hunt ended up playing most of his NRL games with 20 minute stints at hooker. This set DCE up for success at NRL level as it made the transition to first grade a lot easier due to skills gained from playing halfback in QLD cup. I feel DCE, with good coaching from Andrew Johns, has a more complete game, but It's a possibility that he may not get much better. In contrast, Hunt still has plenty of things to improve, and has room to get better. When he does, he'll be an outstanding halfback.The fact he is among the elite halves already, despite the deficiencies in his game, demonstrates that if he can get those things right, he'll be a very, very good halfback. Hunt's overall kicking game and decision making would of been better had he been playing full time as a halfback, but it'll improve the more he plays. It is extremely exciting watching the progress he has made in a year, and I can't wait for more to come from him. [/QUOTE]
