Similar angle maybe but I'd have the 35m shot over the 45m shot any day. :)

as would i, as would of westhoff... but he didnt he had a SIMILAR shot to hunt tho.
not exactly the same, but similar.

either way he missed and was a loser, hunt kicked it and was a winner

Westhoff is an embarrassment to the game, people from overseas would watch him play and think WTF how can this human play a professional sport?

Would rather Hunt than Westhoff any day of the week.

Karmichael Hunt has improved out of sight since last season! I love it and love seeing him continue to improve.

It's amazing that the AFL can take a person who has never played the game and through their coaches and resources turn them into an AFL player.

On the other convert Izzy, did anyone see the game on the weekend, when Izzy went into the ruck I don't think he lost a centre bounce hit out! His ability to jump over the top of the crows ruckmen was amazing, is there a chance he may be developed into a ruckman full time?

Travis Cloke would have missed that goal 6 out of 10 times and Freo are throwing a million bucks at him.
Hunt's improvement has been fantastic, quite a few people laughed when I posted that he had the potential to play 200 games, doesnt seem so far fetched now ;)

Out of the 2 NRL converts I think he is the more likely of the 2 to stick at it and be successful.

This time last year and even throughout this year, no one had given Hunt a chance and he is starting to come along nicely, i think we need to give Folau time, he is only 23 and is a massive unit, he still has time to develop and as we all know, the big guys take longer to develop.

I think he's losing interest. the AFL would have to throw a heap of additional coin at him to stick around as he's still young enough to revert back to rugby.
