I thought Hunte was good for us. He was 29 when he joined but was still fast. I think he was a good athlete who retained his pace into his early 30s like Hicks.

He gave the impression of being a bit casual sometimes and it contributed to the general talented but disorganised air of that Van de Velde team. But when he got the ball he could do damage and he was popular with the fans. When he left we missed him.

The year after he left he came back and scored a length of the field try against us for Salford. He was still fast then. But what I remember most about that is Appo chasing him the full length from the opposite side of the field, running across the diagonal and almost hauling him in. This was a year before Appo had his break out (half) season, and up till this point Appo had been anonymous in a Wire jersey, but the speed he showed chasing Hunte there was a signal that a fully fit Appo had top tier pace.

Good summary Sally.
Appo is often maligned here.
Just imagine if Briers hadn't come back from injury.
Would I have been happy with Appo in the halves?
Damn right I would.
Quite rightly made the dream team.
And I can think of a few halves we've had since then that haven't reached Appos standard.
Ok it was only for that half season (a bit like Sandow) but it was worth watching.
