Young oversaw his first session as stand-in head coach on Monday after taking the reins from Paul McGregor following Friday's upset win over the Eels.

Hunt spent the entire match at hooker but has shifted back and forth from dummy-half to the halves and started from the bench in four games of his 14 games this year.

The widely-discussed selection panel played some role in the positional merry-go-round but Hunt said Young nipped that in the bud from the outset on Monday.

"As soon as he got here today he said 'you're definitely playing hooker this week so you can prepare for that'," Hunt said.

"At the moment, I think that's where I'm going to be for the rest of this year. Just looking at how the side's set up, it's probably the best option for us. I'm definitely happy to have that certainty.

"It makes your job a lot easier, you can just go out and focus on one thing instead of bouncing around and playing a couple of positions in the same week. It clouds things a bit.

"I want to be a half [long-term] but I'm happy to know I'm just going to be playing one position."

Rocking up to training and not seeing McGregor, the only coach he's known at the club, was a "strange" one for Hunt but he said Young was quick to put his stamp on things.

"Deano got us in and addressed us with what he expects from the team and what he wants to do going forward," Hunt said.

His biggest things is just hard work and commitment to the team. I've had three years here with Deano now and he's very committed and really focused on what he wants from a team ad how the game should be played.

"He's a big believer that if you work really hard and you give everything you've got every week than you get the best out of the side. That's all he wants out of us for the last six weeks."

It's been far from smooth sailing for the Dragons but, even with McGregor's departure, they haven't faced the various crises that have gripped Hunt's former club Brisbane who he'll come up against this week.

Coach Anthony Seibold, currently in quarantine after staying in Sydney for personal reasons, has been under relentless pressure with the Broncos currently sitting 15th on the ladder.

Seibold's also had call in lawyers over vile rumours that have spread online in the last week, amid a host of other off-field issues involving Tevita Pangai Jnr and boom young forward David Fifita's high-profile defection to the Titans.

On the park, it's left them scrambling to avoid the first wooden spoon in the club's history. Having worn the Broncos jumper on 187 occasions, Hunt doesn't find it hard to sympathise.

"It's definitely a tough place to be when you're not going so well," Hunt said.

"If things go bad up there everyone's coming off the back fence at you and having their say. Down here it's a bit more spread out [across clubs] and not so much in your face.

"They just can't seem to do anything right at the moment. Whether it's things off the field, injuries or blokes getting suspended, it just doesn't seem to be going well.

"I really feel for the guys with what's going on there at the moment, I've still got a few good mates up there. I've talked to Alex Glenn a fair bit over the year. Hopefully they're not too good this week but I do hope it turns around for them."
