Benny Hunt

[King Salvo]

For what it’s worth, Ben Hunt to Roosters for two years is my mail. If it’s true, hope he plays some hooker as well as in halves.

Be interesting what the NRL determines his contract value is as reportedly was on 950k at the Dragons - Hard to see the NRL allowing clubs to sign him for 600k as the Salary Cap Auditor can value his contract at 950k for salary cap purposes irrespective of what clubs pay him.

Reported that the Bulldogs , Dolphins , Roosters and Bronco's are interested in his services - not sure how the Bronco's could afford him unless they punt Mam. Bulldogs punted Addo-Carr who was on 500k but are also interested in May who would command around the same 500k

It wouldnt surprise me at all if the Chooks sign him.
I'd be interested in him for 1 year.

I think 9 is the go initially for Hunt
Concerned about Sandon's headspace with the legal issues he is involved in. His focus should be how to become a quality NRL Five-eigth.

The incident happened in March, I imagine the worst part is waiting for your case to be heard.

Welcome to the Roosters Ben :-)

[roosterchook]

As bad as Latrell in public. No thanks.

Dolphins for him..I reckon

Would be the favourites I guess

["gaz"]

Think
6. Sandon
7. Townsend
9. hunt
13. Watson

and when everyone back
6. hunt or sandon
7. walker
9. Hunt or cheese
13. Watson / rads
14. hunt / Watson or cheese

6 Watson or Smith
7 Townsend
9 Hunt

6 Tqwnsend or Smith
7 Hunt
9 Watson

he's probably mad annoyed at himself he got persuaded to stay.... instincts never lie... when you want to cut people off CUT THEM OFF , don't second guess yourself

Ben Hunt makes perfect sense. He is an excellent half who is 35 years old, has a great kicking game and has carried a very ordinary side for the last 5 seasons.

He would be a perfect fit for not only the Roosters but any team not called Penriff or Melbourne. Even then he would get into their 17 due to his utility value.

He is a better halfback than Chad Townsend, is arguably a better hooker than Cheese and arguably a better 14 than Watson. He has been better than Keary has in the last 2 seasons. It's an upgrade anyway you look at it.

For the right price and conditions it should be a no Brainer to have him with us for a season or two to keep helping Sam develop and bring us some strike power in his own right.

[Judge Smails]

Yes 100%, he is a disloyal prick.
And old Nick doesn't like disloyal pricks.

Disloyal ??

walking out on a shit show at 35..

We have secured many players thru similar means, Goose and Gander

[Kelby]

For 2025 ..... this is a no brainer for me.

Experienced at half and dummy half. Australian rep.

We dont have Sammy and Cheese until June.
