News Ben Hunt moves to Broncos

Hunt perfect foil for Burto, and has good creativity in the opposition 20. 2 years, Woods then is ready.

Sexton is an average footballer. Very overrated on here.

I loved the Sexton redemption arc but his form faded away badly towards the end of season. Sexton’s competition was Hutchinson who was absolutely terrible. I can see why there was a lot of love for Sexton.

Form dropped because that donkey Salmon was lock and completely broke our structure lol.

Good call. The contrast between Hutcho and Sexton was so great that it made Sexton look like Joey Johns at times that he could even get a repeat set for us. On reflection on the last 3 games showed that Sexton is still developing. Hunt would be good for his development.

Many critics say, oh that was only because he’s selfish and doesn’t trust his team mates. Yeah well who tf would when he had such a mediocre team around him? That Dargs team over his tenure, especially the last 2-3 years, only had a handful of other quality players and the rest of the spine was always changing and not that great.

We lost alot when mann got injured but gotta ask why.. If we had a good dominant 7 would our ball playing lock be as important?

The way he faded concerns me and the reality came to the fore, which is, he isn’t one of the best 10 halfbacks. He was bought as a moneyball signing and definitely improved the team, but his ability to improve has to be seriously questioned and doubted. We need him to improve a lot or get someone like Hunt, if we want to move further up the ladder.

No but we also had Mahoney not being as effective as he can be and has been in previous seasons. He needs big improvement too. Probably the most important thing that needs for us to challenge for a comp, but an experienced rep hb will certainly help too.
 
Perfect world...we sign Hunt and trade Sexton for Willison.

With all due respect to Sexton, but I'm sure all 17 teams would pick Hunt over Sexton.

Plus Hunt SHOULD go hard to win his first premiership ring.

Agree. If we sign Hunt we could use Sexton as a bargaining chip in exchange for a quality middle forward.

Plenty of sides could do with a HB like Toby. Knights, Warriors, Raiders, Titans and Dragons all come to mind.

Even the Roosters are gonna be without Sam Walker for half the season before he comes back from his ACL…

You're right but I suggested Brisbane as his whole family are still up there.

Why? Because that's how Ciraldo structured our attack and the drop off from Mann to the next player is substantial and pretty much breaks our system. This is why for the life of me I couldn't understand why Curran didn't play there this season, he was much more like for like with Mann and would've kept the system ticking along.
 
If we get Hunt and Sexton wants out that is up to him. Playing backup to someone with Hunt's experience is something most young halves would dream of, it depends what opportunity he values more.

You make a good point but he probably sees Hunt in front of him and Woods and Tia behind him snapping at his heals.

Yeah fair enough.

He would be in a similar situation there waiting for Adam Reynolds to retire however the 6 jersey should be available with Mam being suspended…

They will need to sign someone because they’re gonna be screwed if Reynolds goes down.
