haha going to be announced this morning that Karmichael Hunt is switching from league to afl and will sign with the gold coast for next season!!

i wonder what his starting price will be in 2 years time!?!?!
:D :D

he is a rookie so he should be 86,600, a la Liam Anthony etc. Interesting concept, we will have to see if this story is the real deal

Could be a very good cash cow?

For those that follow Rugby do you think he is actually good enough to make it? I dont follow Rugby so I've never seen him play but he sounds pretty good going by that article.

I reluctantly follow league due to the fact that I live in NSW and it is sport so deserves a little attention from time to time. I think he has some good qualities that set him up to be sucessful in AFL. He is a good tough athlete with a fair leap, quick speed and good hands. Obviously he hasn't played AFL in a few years (he is only 22 and played AFL as a schoolboy) and the stepup from school AFL is no doubt pretty massive. Saying this, he does have a year to play in the VFL next year for the new GC AFL team.

I just love it that it sticks it up rugby league. Always a good thing.

bomber _ reports are that he will still play union in japan next year and then he will join them in 2011. i follow league as much as i can living in vic, but being a broncoz fan i hear a bit about him and i think he will be pretty handy, dont think he will get much possesion but could play in the forward line for pressure a la max rooke

im loving this, my favourite league player, playing for my favourite code. awesome news!

Loserboy - thats interesting. Japan would be good for his pocket ($$) but probably not for his chances of making a big impact in 2011 for GCFC.

i wonder what position he will play, isnt that tall, dosent have extreme pace, so im thinking backline because he has a big build and is a good tackler. (good tackler cause he plays rugby ;))

yeah i was thinking that he'd probably be half back or back pocket mainly because he's a good tackler.

if he was tall... :o :o :o :o

Geez if that was the case then there will be alot of cash cows in 2011. The whole GC11 team will be rookies.
