Subscriber only When Jarrod Mullen went down in round one of the Intrust Super Cup the former NRL star immediately feared the worst. The former Newcastle Knights player s fairytale return to rugby league was soured when he injured himself in a tackle as the Falcons lined up against the Northern Pride. The 33-year-old dislocated his shoulder and was in a bad way as he was taken to hospital. Because it took so long to go back in - two and a half hours - the longer they re out of place more the more damage you can do, Mullen said.
“He’d been doing that for a lot of the older players in a similar position to ourselves. What he is doing is phenomenal. I was talking about Benji over the dinner table [on Monday] because we played Queensland Schoolboys together about 19 years ago.
“To see him at his age playing the footy that he’s doing for the Rabbitohs is just inspiring. Definitely I feel like if Benji can do it, it’s given me hope that I can do it as well.”
Hunt is back where it all began. Seventeen years and two football codes after making his NRL debut, the 34-year-old has returned to Red Hill. The cross-code star has rejoined Brisbane on a train-and-trial contract and will be eligible for first-grade selection from round 11.
