Good thing is Hunt will take a decent chunk of the salary cap.

What salary cap

Re: Karmichael Hunt switches codes

How much for the first commentator who abbreviates his name to Karmike_Hunt.
Network executives will be terrified......

Re: Karmichael Hunt switches codes

Had a good laugh when I read your name Captain Groenewagon - WELCOME!!

NRL commentators have been worried about a name slip up for years, but I don't think it's happened yet. His nickname amongst our Storm group is "Telephone call for ........"

Any chance you could ask the mods to change your name so its spelt correctly?

Re: Karmichael Hunt switches codes

Would expect nothing less from Scott Clayton

He weighs about 30kgs more than the usual Clayton smoky

Re: Karmichael Hunt switches codes

Apparently he is far more advanced with skills than Hampson at Carlton, according to Mark Browning, he will no doubt be as skillful as Tom Williams & Kurt Tippett.

Leaving th NRL to play AFL, do you honestly blame him?...

Re: Karmichael Hunt switches codes

For mine,in terms of interest, this one belongs with Colliwobble's double appointment of Bucks and the 2-year temp, Mick Malthouse... couldn't give a toss...

Just lucky the thread title didn't read "Karmichael Hunt switches teams"...

Re: Karmichael Hunt switches codes

Him switching codes was probably something that the AFL had planned, or had their fingers in the pie

It actually serves a great branding message for the game in a rugby league hotbed like the Gold Coast

Young athletes especially may take note of Karmichael's decision and select AFL over Rugby League in the future...

Its a talking point, will get heaps of mainstream media coverage up there which will be good for the GCFC

17/18 clubs...two more reasons why it will be harder for us to win a flag

Re: Karmichael Hunt switches codes

I know they have a lot of additional scope for players and payments etc but Hunt won;t come cheaply and will take a large chunk of money. It's getting GC17 a lot of coverage though.

How much of his overall package will his salary be & how much will his earnings as a 'game development and promotional role' with the AFL and AFL Queensland for three years be?

Great question and the answer will always be about what is in the best interest for the new club. The AFL are determined not to duplicate the old Brisbane Bears fiasco.

NONE! Yes none will be on it according to some reports. Apparently GC17 found an old loophole of a rule, which I am sure the AFL didn't help them find.

Re: Karmichael Hunt switches codes

Apparently the Wiggles are interested in speaking with Eagleton who's rendition of "hot potato" on the footy field is said to have impressed Wiggles Management.
They were quoted as saying "we love the fact that Nathan can perform "hot potato" especially in a big game, this will hold him in good stead when he has to perform in front of thousands of screaming kids" unquote.

Re: Karmichael Hunt switches codes

Hunt has now said that at some stage he wants to be a Wallaby.

Clearly he's half-arsed about playing for the Gold Coast and if he is he will fail miserably.
