“It’s more his chat and work off the ball, he’s always got his edge, and he’s the leader of that edge in defence,” Hunt said via SMH.
If you’re a great edge defender, your halves don’t have to make as many tackles, so that’s the main thing I see.”
“I’m whatever the team needs, whatever [coach] Kevvie [Walters] wants. If he wants me to play backrow, I’ll play backrow; if he wants me to play in the middle, I’ll play in the middle.
“I’ll try hard in every single area of those positions. [When I got the call from the Broncos] they said [they were interested] because I’m big enough to play middle and the backrow, so there was a really good opportunity for me to come off the bench and I can cover both positions.”
