NRL Round 7 - Roosters Vs Knights - 2:00pm Sunday, 19th April - Allianz Stadium

[Roundtable]

Wow! F. Hunt!

 

[Newygirl]

My god Hunt is soo good catching high balls for tries. Weird he’s not that great the other end but I’m sure he’ll improve. Centre or Wing reaply might be his spot

 

[Grandpa Joe]

And leading baby!!!

How can you not love Hunt!?!?

Crap fullback but so far we’ve found our long term centre.

 

[Wagyu Patty]

Where was that fullback hunt lol

He scored a couple from chasing through high kicks at fullback. I think it's probably one of the main features of his game, doesn't quite have the frame to be a power runner just yet but he's nimble and he can jump

Yeah he's handling it well. Replacing Gagai with him next year might be a good move.

He's been our best played under the high ball ever since he came into first grade, imo.

Maybe on attacking kicks, he split heaps in defence.

Crap fullback but so far we’ve found our long term centre.

For a guy a few games into first grade he's handled weeks at fullback really well, imo. People are really hard on him, for some reason. He's still developing skills, but there's heaps to work with.

 

[slotmachine]

I'd probably start making some interchanges now while we are on top, rather than waiting for chooks to get a roll on

 

[HarVeeGee13]

Nowadays there’s no real downside to spilling an attacking kick. So if he’s at centre he’s more of a pure attacking weapon when it comes to kicks.

 

[Battler]

Great kick Phoenix, unlucky bounce.

 

[bremsstrahlung]

Geez I reckon DCE has already thrown a bunch forward passes today.

Phoenix a better bounce away from a great kick.

 

[jamesgould]

Great challenge, what is this.

 

[Lefty]

Hunt may have found his spot at centre

 

[Grandpa Joe]

Great challenge.

 

[slotmachine]

McEwen looks like the best edge forward on the field which is a fair wrap

 

[Wagyu Patty]

Second this, the elite fullbacks spend countless hours just practicing the leap and catch. But it's not really something an outside back on the fringe of grade would practice regularly. So considering he likely hasn't done alot of specialist training at fullback I thought he did an excellent job as a stop-gap.

 

[MattyM]

They’re laying all over us and we aren’t getting squat from Klein.

 

[JOJO82]

Great tackle bust to setup that try

 

[mullenmagic]

Failed prospect though

 

[Grandpa Joe]

Francis!!!!!
