If the fast bowler wanted to see the world, why didn't he consider backpacking?
He will never return to the Broncos - he sees himself as a 'big city type' and will end up in one of the Sydney profile teams or Melbourne.
Going to union allows him to break that contract as well and then return to League, without feeling as though he is betraying the Broncos.
It won't be to Red Hill though.
He is a young guy who will find that life away can be tough. Within two years he will be back in Australia citing the homesick chestnut.
He had too much adulation piled on him at a very young age - didn't Wayne describe him as the best young talent he had ever coached? He is still growing up in public.
Regarding loyalty and the flawed theory of developing and nurturing young players, please refer to the 'Instant Squad' thread.

dont blame the players when they get bigger money offers from other clubs or other codes, blame the nrl and the cap. i seem to remember bruno saying that we could pay our players 7 million a year or something, imagine the team we would have with that, and the crowds they would draw everywhere they went, if it was to watch a great rugby league team play or hopefull that thier team can beat them or both. Dominant clubs create massive interest in a sport.

That's pretty harsh.
Hunt has been one of my favourite Broncos ever, mainly because of his talk and his enthusiasm. When the chips were down it was always Hunt doing the back-slapping and geeing the team up. That sort of player is the glue a team needs and I don't see it being easy to replace, let alone his absolute safety as a fullback. Hoffman looks like a goer though.
