NRL Round 23 - Knights Vs Raiders - 2:00pm Sunday, 9th of August - GIO Stadium

Honestly the problem Hunt is gonna have now in terms of his perception is how good some of the other young guys have been. But compared to any reasonable expectations he’s done a fine job and never shied away from anything. Gotta remember that Hunt would have actually had fewer NRL pre-seasons than them though. Pretty sure he’s done one in total.

Can Klein get fired and then shot into the @$%#ing Sun already? Biggest piece of **** ref everyone hates. Had to challenge and get the bunker to overrule the low morale, pathetic piece of **** ref. How the %&$& can an imbelic addicted gambler keep the sanctity of the game. #@&% off
Liam Kennedy deserves an honourable mention .
 
Interesting that the media keeps talking about the Horsborough incident as if the Raiders had the penalty and then he lashed out at Gags...is it me, or wasn't it that Gags pushed Horsborough away because he was crowding the ruck, something you see in just about every 2nd play, and Horsborough lashed out, which resulted in players rushing in.

Klein, apparently dismissing any high contact and the clear spoiling going on from Tapine & Horsborough in the ruck, gave a crucial penalty against possession to the Raiders even though Horsborough was the instigator for most of it.

Indeed, I think KP was shocked the penalty hadn't gone to the Knights and that he challenged because they thought there was high contact.

Not sure if the challenge was even considered or if the bunker just intervened because of the slap at that pt. Either way, Klein got bailed out of another contentious (clearly wrong imo) call that could have sunk the Knights. It's Henry Peranara flashbacks every time Klein refs our games now.

PS. Kent said Ricky has been blaming his side's poor discipline all season for the position they found themselves in, has warned them numerous times because it has cost them games, and that's why he blew up at Horsborough.
 
Hunt is a total freak. He moves sensationally well for someone 190cm tall, has just about every skill you could ask for. He is just raw. He is probably 3 or more years away from arriving at his approximate best

The only candidate who is any chance of pinching centre off him next season is Winter, and he's yet to play FG. So we really don't have any measure on the probability of that happening.
 
I like Sasagi and he has turned into a high-end talent undoubtedly. He is 25, had a great season last year but was still in full "development mode" up until then. Hunt doesn't even turn 21 until December this year. It's not guaranteed Hunt becomes a top line 1st grader but for the right price a little patience is surely justified.
I say Hunt and Winter will battle it out for the right centre spot. Two very good prospects.

With the amount of injuries Best gets, both Hunt and Winter will get plenty of game time regardless.

Sisagi has made a lot of opposition centres and backrowers look stupid this year. Hunt’s not the first and certainly won’t be the last.
