Hunt agreed to a six-year $6 million deal to shift to the Dragons prior to the start of the 2017 season while fellow recruit James Graham was a late pick-up after being granted a release from the Bulldogs after round 26.

Hunt endured an up and down road in his final season with Brisbane after pledging his future elsewhere but said he was yet to see a better a alternative.

“It was a little bit strange at times,” Hunt said.

“I don’t really look into it too much. I’ve seen [the current system] work out well for some players and not so well for some other players.

“I don’t think you can ever get a perfect solution for it, you just have to work around different situations when they come up. I just put it on the back-burner and tried to concentrate on my last year and having some fun with the boys I’d played a lot of footy with.”

Hunt admits he did take more than a passing in the Dragons 2017 fortunes from afar.

“I watched quite a few games last year. I’m not normally one to watch a lot of footy but I found myself watching just about every [Dragons] game last year and I was pretty excited about what I saw,” he said.

“There’s a great forward pack here and some good young players coming through so I’m looking forward to it.”
