St George Illawarra Dragons captain Ben Hunt has made his intentions clear that whenever the call comes through to represent Queensland in State of Origin, it is one he will never decline.
His never say no mindset will see him play in his 20th match for the Maroons next Wednesday night, earning him a FOGS Dick “Tosser” Turner medal, something the Queensland hooker says is a huge honour to achieve.
Hunt says he was always happy just to play one game for the Maroons, but to get to 20 is a massive achievement and something he is very proud of.
He says the list of players that have made it and to be in their company is something he is very proud of and honoured to share the Tosser Medal with them.
Hunt made his Queensland debut off the bench in the 2017 decider at Suncorp Stadium.
The 34-year-old says it was definitely a bad defeat down in Melbourne last two weeks in game 2 and something that they are looking to improve on.
He says they had a look at that game and it was definitely a tough watch, that is for sure which was followed by an honest conversation with coach Billy Slater with a fair few of the players.
Hunt has been named to start at hooker for the Maroons in the decider next week.
The Maroons will host the NSW Maroons at 10.05pm next Wednesday at Suncorp Stadium in Queensland for the decider.
