Yep, after just agreeing to pay Walker $1.1m a season, they'll have room for Hunt. The only Australian rep player on $200k apparently. Nothing would surprise me with the Rorters.
I read that most clubs and especially Qld clubs would struggle to fit him in the cap. Unless broncos sack Ezra which is unlikely then us releasing Gutho and Hunt playing hooker is an option or Super League. Would depend on his relationship with Lomax and Moses in Aussie camp I suppose. The only other real option is bulldogs in a questionable contract after all their signings. They will point towards JAC leaving as cap space but he is on half of Hunt's contract or Roosters sombrero.
That is why I said his options are limited. Without dragons paying some value not many clubs could afford close to his asking price. I think he would want at least $750k or go to superleague where he gets that plus more.
If we get him for $750k as a hooker and Gutho leaves we have extra cap space and quality hooker making us stronger than this year. Hunt has chance of playing finals similar to when Brooks left tigers but it will depend on his family and if they want to move to England for a year or 2.
Even if we get him for 1 year until someone like Robson or a young gun hooker come available and Hunt can move back to Qld it is win for him and win for parra.
"Yea I like Samrani as a 17 rather than a starting backrower. Tuilagi will probably be selected this week with Guymer back on the bench or cup. Latu needs a couple more games in Cup before being a chance of NRL selection I would think."
"Yep thats the thing. I dont think anyone expected some players to be so much on the outer and JR blood so many younger players. Its why we are suffering this short term pain. Hopefully its better for the long run."

yes 100% as our number 9
This probably guarantees Gutho's release.
Yup
Heading to the Roosters via a player swap with Townsend
Only roosters could work out a deal like that, after signing a player who hasn't even played for them yet.

are you kidding me if he does end up at the Roosters thats a total farce of a salary cap system...

pretty sure since he has agreed to a release the 25 contract has no relevance to any new one same as rcg and lomax
