Fantastic winger and could run the 100m dash in under 15 seconds!

A few months ago there was media where Hunt was saying how he talks to Lomax a lot and Lomax is open about seeking advice.

Always a real danger when people see stuff on the field and assume that reflect people and/or relationships off it.

If the Eels view him more as a half, wouldn't he have gotten a chance alongside Brown like Asi, Sanders (rookie who is leaving), Talagi (future fullback)?

Cheers

Like Rob said he tries things and they either do or don't come off....some of them are ill advised and some of them are magic. There is no point expecting him to be a steady consistent 7.5 out of 10 player, it's not him. As he gets older his ratio of magic to ill advised will probably get better

Latrell is the same type of player

Walsh is the same type of player

Munster is the same type of player

Griffin: that's it Zac, put away that flick pass! I don't care if it's literally our only attacking outlet, other than give the ball to Hunt -> ??? -> profit!

Lomax: mocks Griffin with Fletch and Hindy

Griffin: gets sacked

Lomax: early leader in Dally M, NSW Origin consideration, long-term contract with Parra, functioning sternum

Sele has a fractured shoulder which will need to be operated on. While a timeline is not yet clear it is understood he will be sidelined for at least two months.

Bird was taken from the field just before halftime with an ankle injury in immense pain. There was no fracture to his ankle however there was a significant sprain. He is due to meet with a specialist with the Dragons hopeful he will only miss about a month of action. (Michael Carayannis)

I guess that makes him a sell, hey?

Is it a coincidence that all those players are on the very top end of NRL salaries?!

You can drill a team to be resilient in defence when a mistake is made; it's a lot harder to get a team to create magic moments without players who are gifted enough to do things others can't.

Those magic moments don't just add points, they can completely swing the momentum of a match, which puts more pressure on the opposition and can create a knock-on effect creating more opportunities

In saying all that, Chester could be out next week, play the following week scoring 80 have us all trade him in and then in the third week score 4 and be injured.

my father was an elite sportsman he played rugby & rugby league for auckland...he often said to me once he got married that was the end of it because now he had to sacrifice his training time to spend time with his family which he had no regrets over.
