Haha brilliant, one less spot on their list if true and a venture that is bound to fail miserably.

Was a very good junior player apparently, but went to rugby because AFL was to hard to crack into.

Re: Karmichael Hunt switches codes

Other than taking him with their 1st pick in the draft, how do they guarantee that he goes to Gold Coast

Re: Karmichael Hunt switches codes

I think he'd make it, not star but at least be serviceable. He's quick, agile and strong, so would probably start as a run-with player to an inside midfielder and develop from there.

Although League hasn't given us a player before, Brogan won an NBL title before switching to Port, and from our own list in the past couple of years Williams was an obvious one but Ray was a gun soccer player in his junior days.

Good luck to Carmichael, it'll be interesting to see how he goes. There are a few players running around in the NRL that I think could do well at Aussie Rules - Greg Inglis, Israel Falou to name a couple.

There's a rule that allows you to place a player on the rookie list if that player has not played in an official competition for the last 3 years.

Sydney picked up some rugby player last year.

Confirmed

Interesting that he is going to play a season of rugby union before joining the GC franchise next May.

Re: Karmichael Hunt switches codes

He'll be able to teach our code all the NRL joys of, ahem, 'team bonding'

Very interesting.

I would of thought a year in the QAFL or VFL might of been wise. Maybe he is going for the old 3 codes in 3 yrs look.

If he doesn't play VFL next year he's not fair dinkum.

With a name like Karmichael how fair dinkum can we take him?

Agreed. Looks more like a stunt than anything else.

Would expect nothing less from Scott Clayton

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