Timing seems strange. Will be good to have him back at the broncos!!

Probably play in the centres rather than fullback, maybe with an eye to the halves once he is settled in.

Will be interesting - Remember when K came to AFL he had the huge thighs from playing NRL and now has got rid of that with AFL training and built up his upper body strength. So if he goes back to NRL he has to revert to different gym training regimes and how easy that will be at 27 years of age is the question.

Hunt is different to Folau in that he has been the AFL System for 3 years whereas Folau only lasted the one so will be interesting to see how he goes if he does revert.

It is interesting that the Courier Mail which are one of the Sponsors of the Broncos still have made no mention of the rumour either yesterday or today.

@FOXSportsNews: .@GoldCoastSUNS confirm Karmichael Hunt WILL play for the club in 2014. #AFL

That is good news. It would be disappointing to see him leave after proving he can cut it at the top level

Folau spent 3 years out of NRL didnt he? 2 years with the giants before they went into afl, then 1 year in afl.

I think hunt's had 5 then?

Maybe izzy was only 2... and hunt 4...

w.e :P

Zip - Folau went to rugby, not Legue. Hunt went League, Rugby, AFL. Was a good player in rugby and League. Wouldn't get games if he went back to Lethe though ::)

if afl players were offered like 5x what they were getting for afl to play league/ union they'd probably swap codes as well :P

they make a huge  contribution to the off field development of nsw/ ql teams.

Is he really better than Ben Barba, Billy Slater, Darius Boyd etc? He was a fullback, same as all those boys. Couldn't even make the Broncos.

TBH in all this and being a follower of League which I was brought up on at school (AFL was not even on the radar as a school sport in the 60's in Qld) I can not see Hunt returning to the Broncos especially if as likely they secure the services of Cameron Smith. (Would not be able to afford Hunt as well under salary cap)
He may however be picked up by the Titans if he were to return to League.
If I were Hunt I would be cashing on the AFL profile for the next 2 years.
