Message: [QUOTE="Super Freak, post: 2720087, member: 8536"] BEN Hunt will have a disrupted pre-season but is certain he will be ready for the round one kick-off against the Eels in March. With a one-week suspension to be served from last year's grand final, Hunt will have to miss the Broncos' World Club Series match against Wigan on February 20. It means his one big trial will likely come against the Cowboys in Bundaberg on February 6. But with both teams to miss full-scale trials the following week, the Bundaberg clash is set to be a big one. It will be the one chance to get a quality warm-up game for the World Club Series. Hunt said with that in mind, the team had been working hard - especially on 'Torturous Tuesday' - to be ready. "It is always an exciting time when you get closer to the trials and you have plenty of young blokes here wanting to prove themselves," said Hunt. "Tuesdays aren't much fun as they are one of our biggest conditioning sessions of the week. "The weather hasn't been helping out either - it has been pretty warm. "But it is what we need to do to get ready for the year. "I think the Cowboys trial is going to be a pretty strong contest. "Both sides are going to England and are going to want to be preparing for that game. "So I think it is going to be a pretty strong hit-out." But this weekend Hunt will turn his attention to the NFL. While he has already played Test football for Australia, he is a true ‘Patriot’ - a New England Patriot. His favourite team and their quarterback Tom Brady need to win this week to make the season finale Superbowl, with Hunt seen parading around the locker room in his Brady jersey this week. "I'm pretty confident they are going to get to the Superbowl," he said. "If they are going to get beaten it will be there by the (Carolina) Panthers."
