Doncaster Knights hooker Ben Hunter

hooker Ben Hunter selects three of his biggest pet peeves awaiting judgement for .

1. Energy sappers

There’s always one guy at any club you play for who is never happy about training, never happy about socials… you name it, they’re grumpy about it. I feel like saying to them, pick up a shovel and go and do a 9-5 job and see how you feel then!

TRP verdict: Keep digging, this is gold dust!

2. Mobile phones in restaurants

I went out for a meal with my wife the other weekend, and out of the ten couples in there dining at least half of them must have been on their phones not uttering a single word to one another. I used to leave mine on the table but now I leave it in the car. Eating out is supposed to be a social event for goodness sake!

TRP verdict: Text alert: it’s good to go!

3. Forwards who think they can kick

I find it hilarious when a fellow forward tries to put boot to ball. Not everyone is as multi-talented as Zinzan Brooke! I’ve never attempted a kick in a game but Colin Quigley, our tight-head, once did. To be fair it was a pretty decent grubber kick, but the referee called play back anyway for the original penalty, so it was wasted!

TRP verdict: We agree, ZZ tops the lot. But think of the laughs we’d miss out on..
