Broke this news to my NRL nutter mate, he refused to believe it, so it was gas to rub it in a bit. If he was a journey man there would't be much fuss, but he sounds like a pretty marque player to be the first to switch.

all of the over night hysteria of this is amazing - you would think there is going to be some mass exodus and the world was going to end. It is only 1 person when its all said and done. What half of these League ninnies havent even considered, whilst spitting their dummies, is that if you look at all the Players in Rugby league you would be lucky if there would be 20 players (at the most) who have the build & speed required for AFL - the rest of the remaining players wouldnt last 2 minutes. And out of those 20 players there may only be about 6 or 7 who would possibly adapt to our game. Karmichael Hunt is a rare breed - he has actually played a bit of AFL footy albeit at a reasonable junior level. I mentioned previously Slater Ingliss & Covell - yes they have the build, pace and skills and If coached well they could possibly make the transision - but nothing is a given. there are no guarantees with Hunt either. I think some of the rugby league types should take a Bex, have a cup of tea and a good lie down and get over it.Last edited by Wardy; 30 July 2009, 09:38 AM.I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

I had to laugh at that perennial slob (I've seen cleaner blokes sleeping on park benches) and Manly coach Des Hasler going on about how it's "gloves off" and all the rest.
It has been like kicking open an ants nest up here (Sydney). It's funny to see how most of the Leaguies are predicting it's doomed to fail - you can almost smell the fear of it happening again to them. They are already denying it will happen again but I think it would be a very attractive option for players like Hunt who have done it all in their code and are seeking new challenges. It certainly would be more stimulating than a basic sideways transition to rugby union."My theory is that the universe is made out of stupidity because it's more plentiful than hydrogen" - Frank ZappaComment

Maybe its sour grapes on Des' behalf. He played a season of Rules for my club Hawkesbury while teaching at St Dom's in Penriff, so he probably realises he missed the better boat.Comment

Agreed about the hysterical reaction from the league, although the AFL types are not exactly chilled about it -- I just saw about six stories on the Foxsports website.
Hunt's 45-metre drop punt onto Bucks' chest is already legend. Sounds like he's got the goods to make a go of it -- good luck to the guy. I just wish he'd find a less stupidly-spelt name.The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible newsComment

Had a client once called Michael Hunt ... we weren't allowed to call him Mike (for short)!!!
At least the Gold Coast will be getting a guy who knows how to tackle.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.Comment

My brother's group of friends at school included a Mike Hunt and an R Slicker.I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his timeComment

Good luck to him.

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted. However, due to costs associated with uploads/downloads, if you wish to attach a number of files within a thread, or feel that the quality of the attachment is compromised by the file size restrictions, you may wish to use external hosting providers and link to the files there.
12) Moderator / Administrator Group
The Moderator / Administrator group reserve the right to delete or move threads / posts as well as remove signatures / avatars as necessary according to the rules of the RWO forum.
13) Final decisions
Any decisions made around the intepretation of the rules above are entirely at the discretion of the site administrators. Such decisions are final.
14) Vistitors from other sites
You are most welcome to join in discussions on RWO, but remember, you are a GUEST on our site. Abide by the RWO Forum Rules or we WILL ban you.

Be nice, not all visitors are trolls.a) If they annoy you, ignore them. They want a reaction. Don't give them one.
b) If they are abusive, report them. We will consider banning them. Don't stoop to their level.Bottom line
You are a guest on RWO - You are expected to play by the rules of the house.
