Royal Rother Seol is similar to Lita. Great in patches but it's so bloody irritatingly obvious how he is going to lose possession or take the pace out of our moves most of the time.
It isn't just Hunt's workrate that makes him worth 2 of Seol. His attitude, his running, his willingness to go where it hurts, his constant pressurising of opponents makes his contribution to the success of the team far far greater than Seol's.
Hunt gets himself in positions to put in more dangerous balls than Seol because of his workrate. The fact that Seol's final ball is, on balance, probably slightly better than Hunt's, is negated by the fact that he doesn't get into as many dangerous areas as Hunt.
Hunt's tackling and chasing back, his lung bursting runs out of defence at top pace create far more goal-scoring opportunities than Seol's superior final ball will produce because he's generally done it all too slowly so the defence has had time to get organised.
Seol is, as many people have said, a good player, and I will support him, frustrations and all, because he carries the hoops, but those who consider him even close to the equal of Hunt in all round contributions to the RFC cause, really are deluding themselves.
Which brings me to another unforgetable moment that of Hunty's goal away against Bolton to finish them off and send me to heaven.
I feel good.....................................and still do.
