Message: [QUOTE="Super Freak, post: 2719155, member: 8536"] THE Auckland Nines are just around the corner and Ben Hunt had his heart set on showing his stuff. But it looks like Broncos coach Wayne Bennett has vetoed that idea, quick smart. Brisbane halfback Ben Hunt is “filthy” he won’t get a start at the Auckland Nines as coach Wayne Bennett looks to reduce the load on his playmakers. While halves partner Anthony Milford and fullback Darius Boyd are confident they will get a call up for the tournament next month, Hunt said Bennett wants to keep him fresh for the season. “He’s told me that I won’t be playing in the Nines. I’m a bit filthy about that,” he told [I]foxsports.com.au. [/I] “I played the first year and had an unbelievable time, but it’s not to be this year. “We’re playing another trial in Bundaberg on the same weekend as well. He’s got a really quick side going over with some big forwards and I don’t really fit into that mould.” Milford said he was disappointed with the way he played at the tournament in 2015 and wants to do better, but it will be Boyd’s first time. “I’m excited actually because I missed the first year and I was injured last year,” Boyd said. “It’ll be the first bit of footy for the year. It’s exciting. “A few of the boys have filled me in on the best way to play and how it works so I’m looking forward to it.” [URL]http://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/summer-slog-brisbane-broncos-halfback-ben-hunt-is-filthy-with-wayne-bennett-for-nines-snub/story-fn2mcuj6-1227709008803[/URL] [/QUOTE]
