Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3241773, member: 9853"] Quite some revisionist history there, Pete. Hunt never fell. I watched him play at high school at couple of times, and saw his debut live. He was 17, fresh out of high school, where he played rugby inside centre in his final year, but had played other positions - including fullback - earlier, plus other codes. The Broncos had a gaping hole in the halves, left by the departure of Walters and Langer, one that was still causing massive frustration to Bennett. That Hunt, out of his comfort zone, was even trialled in the halves was a testament to his skill level at 17 years old. No one expected him to debut round one. In fact, this was the game that Darren Lockyer switched to five-eighth, partnering Brett Seymour at halfback, and an injury carrying Motu Tony was listed to cover fullback. But Hunt, who himself was carrying a wrist injury, was elevated to start at the last minute, and Tony was dropped to the bench. The rest is actual history. The Broncos never looked back. During Hunt's tenure at the Broncos, a persistent narrative revolved around Hunt ultimately replacing Lockyer at 6, but Hunt left in 2009 before Lockyer retired in 2011. I have no doubt Hunt would've made an excellent five-eighth and captain. For those of you who imagine he's some kind of dunny sex drug dealer. He's now a father of three. A lot of water has passed under that bridge. [/QUOTE]
