In my view if he tries to offload he will get smashed and we will have no go forward. He is an old style prop we need another bigger unit that can actually go through the line and then look for the offload and more importantly entice the edge forwards and hooker to follow that forward.

Maybe.

James Graham telling us what we want to hear!

Basically saying Hunt should take the 700k and play hooker from next season to allow Sullivan to play halfback.

This is what we need. Hunt can be satisfied that next year he'll be easily the highest paid #9 in the history of the NRL.

If he's not happy with that: bye.

He will because you either offload before you reach the defensive line so you slow down or you try to offload whilst bending the line or trying to break it. He won't be breaking the line so option 1 is the most likely.

Or most commonly when there are 2 or 3 or 4 defenders trying to wrestle the ball runner onto his back or push him backwards.

All I'm saying is that if he could do what he's been doing for the last 2 months and offload in traffic, he'd be a star. Worth aiming for.

I agree. Better off putting away the offload. Leave skill to JDB and Bird. Lawrie needs to charge forward to give Bird and JDB more time to do their thing.

Andrew Johns came out with rosy talk about how good Hunt is and how good his form has been and how the Dragons should be throwing a blank cheque at him (thanks for the advice Andrew. Which club are you working with at present. Newcastle, isn't it?) and blah blah blah. But once cutting past all that sucking up, the crux of the issue was that he was shocked by Hunt's arrogance in thinking he can dictate who the head coach is going to be.

He got that much right. Astonishing arrogance!

The more I think about it, the more surprised about it I am.

David Riccio at the DT writing an article strongly suggesting the club dumps Griffin now without saying it outright. Even News Ltd have given up on him. In the end his idiotic recruitment has done him in.
  • Macca
  • Moose
  • Mbye
  • Woods
  • Burgess
to name the most obvious or high profile should never have been signed. As far as I've heard, he's also paying overs for Su'A and Suli.

And the young players he's signed from strong clubs, Burns and Faamausili haven't kicked on to become regular NRL players.

“Yes, I met with Ben and his manager,” Bulldogs general manager of football Phil Gould told me. “He is a very impressive person, but at no point did we talk about an offer or money. It was a conversation to get to know him. I simply said if things don’t work out we’d like to chat to him then.

i.e. Hunt has been given permission to talk to other clubs.

Fox Sport speculating Bulldogs aren't really interested in Hunt. At least not for 800k or more a year. They are just trying to have St George panic re-sign him so they can get their grubby paws on Sullivan. For once, I agree with Fox Sport.

Manly: Miss the finals and it's a crisis. Emergency meetings with lots of talk about how 'it's not working' and etc. Talk the coach might have to walk with a year to go on his contract. A coach on more money than Hook.

St George Illawarra: Miss the finals AGAIN, for the 4th year in a row but everything is fine for the front office. Coach is safe and front office talks about how the team, 'won more games that last season'.
