6. Ben Hunt
Controversy I know. Despite some thinking otherwise, I have no doubt in the world that Ben Hunt's best position is in the number nine. His best footy last year and at Origin level has all come at hooker.
His stats are all over the place due to numerous positional switches in 2020 but he had seven try assists, five line break assists, kicked for almost 250 metres per game and tackled at almost 90%.
Hunt has become a victim of hype and an overinflated contract with his performances unfairly criticised in a pretty average Dragons side. I'd look to move him to the nine full-time. With the greatest of respects he's certainly nowhere near the sixth best halfback.

Hey Dan…
Korisau. Did you mean speedy number 9, not number 7? Also Rarified company , not Verified?
Cam McInnes makes the NSW side as reserve to Cook and kept Reece Robson in reserve grade and he misses the top 10? Your eyes mustn’t work!
Yeah theres no way in the world you can pick Reece Robson on suspicion. Sorry thats ridiculous. McInnes is very good. Robson is not even in his orbit right now.
