Avatar had not been released, iPads were not created and Instagram did not exist the last time Hunt wore maroon and gold.But it is his time away from the Broncos, more than his past NRL success at the club that new coach Kevin Walters is banking on ahead of his return to rugby league against the Canberra Raiders.
"We've got to be strong enough mentally to get ourselves around that," Walters said, with the less experienced Tyson Gamble or Cory Paix set to step in.
