Stefano Hunt and JOC

[dobduff11]

I think Stefano Hunt and JOC should start at 10 and 12 like they did at Nudgee college they were considered lethal and i think this could be our only way of doing well in this years super 14. Do any of you guys agree with me.

I think it there's too much risk of leading the lambs to slaughter to contemplate that. Next week they will have the likes of Willie Ripia, Conrad Smith, Ma'a Nonu, Tamati Ellison running at them. It's going to be a long trip home for whoever gets thrown in there next week.

stef and joc in the 5/8 and centre definetly the combo to go with. stef gives more variety to the 5/8 spot, plus his footwork will dazzle teams coz they havent seen anything like this guyz running style yet

It's not schoolboy rugby now

I dont think they much choice now Hunt at 5/8 and push Harris out one Crossy , browny and sheps not going to nz - it will be great experiance for them.

Untill he runs into someone like Ma'a Nonu or even worse Rodney So'oialo and joins Pretorius on the hospital list

Good words Pieter, but we're running out of players.

I wonder if Joelin could handle 15? JOC's looking like a def option at 10 as long as he uses his outside players.

Joelin sure looked quick in the try footage I saw from (i think it was) the Stormers

Stef should play because there's no one else. Ma'a nonu wouldn't put stef in hospital. Stefano would definetly go good at 5/8. If u noticed the force bring the youngest boys into super14, that's why I think they have there grappling sessions to deal with this issue.

If Stefano goes to 10, then JOC can stay at fullback.

They didn't sign him to play for palmyra second grade

Well, I personally think if Stef goes to 10 it'll hurt for a while.

I don't know whether it'll hurt less than the other options, because I haven't explored the other options. JOC to 10 would be great but then who goes to Fullback?

Can stef play fullback? that was a good introduction to the big time for JOC.

Personally I would be worried seeing both Hunt and JO'C paired.
It needs to be Hunt and a solid #12 or JO'C and a linkman #10.
What concerns me is that/why Mitch didn't try him for ten minutes on Friday night.
May have well exposed him in a match that was as good as gone, but possibly still winnable at 65 than to throw him against the Canes.

Yep Hunt and JOC to share the kicking etc at 10/12 bit like Gits and Baines in the Wallabies, be great for Hunt to have the experiance of a 19 yo outside him!!! Sare at 15 or eveN DLP. I personally cant see any other combination...

Nick Evans (ex blues and AB) is on the radar

Anything is better than what Sam Harris dished up! O Young should be up to starter too!

I'm worried about Harris being in the 22
I'd rather have someone out of the crowd
