Ahhhh Ben

We sign Hunt and our chances of making the eight increase ten fold. Without him, its definitely a transitional period for us with lots of inconsistent performances.

And that's why all the Robbo detractors don't want us to sign Hunt.

As a side note. He'd make a great co-captain

My opinion only.

No need for Hunt. This is a great chance for Robinson to prove his credientals and work with what he has got. Townsend is not perfect, Hunt is not perfect - so just go with what he has.

A prop and centre would be handy - and a bona fide number 9 to start the season would help. Seriously, the club doesn't have a real number 9 first grader (I think).

Yeh Robbo shouldn’t strengthen his squad just so he can prove he’s a decent coach with an average squad.

A good coach would sign the players who he believes will give his side the greatest chance of success.

No need for Robinson to start handy capping himself so he can prove something to his doubters.

Townsend was signed as backup, not as a starting 7 or 6.

He would not make the run on team at any club in the NRL

So now, who is the backup for Townsend and smith ?

You still don’t want the Australian and QLD rep player ???

That's Hunts best position imo. He can start the season playing halfback whilst Sammy recovers then slot into 9. The other big plus is the versatility we'd have with Hunt. He can play 6, 7, 9 or 14.

The only negative I see in the equation is the signing of Townsend who would become surplus to needs and a waste of $300k cap space. Hopefully he goes to the Dragons as mentioned above.

I'm up for Chad at 7 and Benny Hill at 9. Push Connor back to 13/14 where he belongs.

Considering all the experience we lost last year,seems like a no brainer to get both these guys into the Club and help the young guys coming through..

Precisely Lydon.

[Lydon]

As much as I’m not a fan of Townsend,I’m starting to warm to the idea of both he and Hunt on our roster for next year..

On top of that,we have no Walker and Smith for half the season,so it makes total sense..

Make it happen Nick!

Heard on radio Hunt to the roosters and Townsend released to the Merge. Makes sense.

I highly doubt this - but would be hilarious if Townsend gets a release without playing a game for the club
Last time I can think of this happening was Anthony Watts, obviously for different reasons

[rented tracksuit]

Any chance he signs for 2 years and plays 9 when Walker is back ?

I don’t think he’s got 9 yrs left in him.

[The Marshall]

Do we really think Ben can be the saviour? When the pressure was on the Merge crashed out of finals contention.

IMO No
next season is over already. Better to develop.

Yes, He wants 2 years.

Hope so !
