Hmm, I think Mr Hunt has been far from squeaky clean with his own image, so he is hardly in a position to castigate others.



He is one of the culprits to have given League a bad name in Australia.



Seem to recall him in tears and pleading forgiveness for alleged sexual assault in the toilet of a Brisbane nightclub (classy !) - along with Broncos team-mates Darius Boyd and Sam Thaiday - whilst I was in Oz just before last year's World Cup commenced.



It apparently followed an all-day drinking session.



As I said earlier, the man who is prepared to sell his birthright will also sell his soul for 30 pieces of silver - which he has done to play aerial ping pong.

I remember him saying he doesnt even find Rugby League interesting, it was just something he was good at. He never watches the NRL if he isnt playing. If he can earn money elsewhere then he definately would, wouldnt you?

he grew up in australia . he feels australian

Quote [Hunt will also work with the AFL and AFL Queensland to promote and develop the game over the next three years.'' As many remarked in League Land yesterday, Hunt is the PR stunt just waiting to explode in the faces of those who signed him. Kaboom! The Broncos had to withdraw a $1.2million offer months ago because they'd reached their maximum limit. But it is understood they could not beef up their offer with third-party agreements. Why? Because no company would touch Hunt with a 12-foot pole. It needs to be made very clear that Hunt was cleared of any criminal wrongdoing following the incident last September involving a woman and teammates Sam Thaiday and Boyd.

Sounds like Simon Haughton.

Why cant these players just play the sport they're good at and been brought up with, and a sport that also pays them very well, for their whole career? Is it really too much to ask? Controversially afterwards they could stay in the game and coach, and put something back into the sport that gave them so much?



They're all as bad, Farrell, Robinson, SBW, Sailor, Hunt, Rogers. Ive no respect for any of them.

You had to see him at the press conference.



It was a kid that wanted to be made to feel very special, but he looked ridiculous.





Its a dumb move on behalf of everyone involved....

Agree,he got his candy, now he can kcuf off.

Don't care.

The traditional 'pro AFL' press (particular Patrick Smith (a complete t*sser BTW who makes Stephen Jones look vaguely pro RL) are as you'd expect making all kinds of big noises about it. OTOH the league people here in Brisbane are basically laughing their asses off.



Bottom line is he's been brought in - at great expense - for the publicity value. It's really a sign of depseration that the GC franchise has to sign someone like Hunt, as they obviously are struggling to attract any high profile AFL players. I think the best comment I heard was from the Titans' CEO, who said that they decided not to go for gimmicks, and their star signing was Preston Campbell - the sort of player who can become a hit with fans and also be hugely influential on the field.



Unless he's an absolute smash hit, the chances of a 'mass' of defections to AFL are zero. Not that AFL wouldn't like to get more publicity, but which clubs in their right minds will take massive risks for players from other sports? Comparisons have been made to some Canadian RU player who's having a go, but that's nonsensical, because that lad was basically an amateur who probably got paid peanuts at first. Hunt OTOH is on a massive amount of dosh. Imagine how his 'teammates' will feel if he's a sack of sh*t and yet getting paid several times what they are.



I suspect he'll have to get a game if he's even close to standard, or this will quietly fizzle out when he moves to Japan or elsewhere for the dosh.

1 million pa











first wendall and lote, now karmichael have hit home runs.



hunt had better hope the AFL dont have the same attitude as the ARU.
