33 degrees at 6pm.

Agree that it’s difficult to compare apples with oranges. The Charity Shield has always been taken more seriously than other trials. I’m not suggesting the Dragons are now world beaters. Plenty of worrying signs still there. But some on here expect us to flog them, and that just doesn’t seem...

I don’t see the Dragons being an easy win. We play like yesterday we get beat. They are nowhere near a spoon team. I’d be very happy to scrape a round 1 win in what will be a very tough game at Kogarah.

Hunt is an ordinary player and a worse bloke. Can’t believe some are clamouring to pick up Dragons trash. Hasn’t done anything and never will. Praying we aren’t interested.

Can’t believe some people want Hunt. Bloke has collected a fat cheque for years and hasn’t done a single thing outside of a couple of intercepts for QLD. He’s got zero heart. Blames everyone around him for his mistakes. He’s exactly what we don’t want in the club. It would be a circus. On top of...

Yep. We weren’t in contention for the 8, and they needed to beat us in the final round.

Hunt had noticeably less involvement than usual against Storm, which actually helped him (and the team). I’m expecting more involvement from Kyle and Sloan again. As said above, they are big across the park. Possession is critical. I’m happy to grind them into oblivion as I don’t think they can...

This aged well.

I know who played better out of Hunt and Hutcho on the weekend… But, I didn’t say that Hutcho was the answer either.

Yeah I get where you’re coming from, mate. The experienced halfback route is a fair option. I also agree with your point about durability. But there is a fine line between helping the kids come through and blocking their path. Are our kids ready? Definitely not. We’re in a tricky spot. But I’m...

Say what you want (or get someone else to say it for you!), but my wife is (unfortunately) a Dragons supporter and I’ve watched Hunt closely for a long time. He isn’t it.

I was merely asking whether you watched him yesterday. But I can extend that to the past five years if that’s better? How many prelims has he taken the dragons to? I’m not saying he’s a ‘shit’ player, he’s tenacious and obviously quality. But I don’t see any evidence that you could plug him into...

Ben Hunt? Did you watch the game today?

Watch his game against the Dragons from a couple of weeks ago. He’s well and truly past it. A big No from me.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Taafe at 7. He has a some speed and creativity and knows the position. One option would be to put Critta at 1, and let Hutcho play centre until Xerri or Clark can come up. We wouldn’t lose much in defence. But I can also live with Sexton getting another crack.
