The Hunt for talent spreads in a new direction

People are saying Max Rooke. I'd say David Rodan if he hadn't signed with Port Adelaide for another 3 years - he is a couple years younger than Rooke, played a bit of union as a kid and has all the the size, strength and evasive skills to be a gun NRL player. Also, he doesn't quite have the same profile as Rooke or Rodan but I'd also say Melbourne's Matthew "the wrecker" Whelan could be a candidate - apparently an outstanding junior rugby leaguer, great leadership and playmaking and certainly not afraid to mix and match. At 29, he might only have a couple of years in him. I think he's also out of contract. He also struggles sometimes to keep his weight and fitness to AFL levels so could consider a switch if offered the sort of bucks the AFL is giving Hunt.
