Say what you want about him as a bloke but he still has the quality to make any Australian Super Rugby team better.
Yeah, yeah............Yeah, nah...
Unless one of the Twiggy teams can match what he's earning up north he may as well stay put, as the likelihood of him making the Wallabies is next to zilch.
It's not like he's a better player now than four years ago when he wasn't considered for test duties.
He is one of the most talented Aussie rugby players there is
He also needs to play in his correct position which is most certainly not 5/8 or inside centre which he was getting played at during his last stint in Aus.
No, he used to be.... not anymore.
No he wasn’t... he was playing at fullback for the Reds.

Is Hunt a definite signing? After Reg sowed the seed of doubt I haven’t read any confirmation. I agree that if Hunt signs then tight 5 is a priorityEven after the all the bags and shit, i doubt he'd be cut price enough to warrant giving him a shot. He'd cost us a lot of salary cap in positions we aren't really short, particularly with Hunt coming down.
We need some grunt in the forwards. Big Kepu can't keep doing everything.

I’ve no idea how much of the cap is left, but I think if Hunt doesn’t get signed and JOC (James O'Connor) willing to take a big pay cut to try and make RWC, perhaps. He’s still only 28 and hopefully matured mentally. If Hunt and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) sign then there won’t be much game time for them all to push for RWCI’d argue we need one more gun back signing to have a backline/reserves that could match it with the best teams in the comp.
Besides Skelton there isn’t any big forwards of note that look like they’ll be available to be signed for this year, meaning any more forwards signed will be at a base price. I’d be confident there’d be enough room to sign O’connor. Although I think for sake of Australian rugby I’d like to see him go to the brumbies as they probably need him more

Nope...
Hahaha sorry I forgot the brumbies are flush with backline talent...
