Josh McGuire has admitted St George Illawarra players have let Ben Hunt down in the past, with the halfback's long-time teammate in awe of the Dragons captain's ability to bounce back. Hunt was the hero for the Dragons on Anzac Day, setting up two tries and coming up with three big plays late in their spirited 14-12 win over the Sydney Roosters. "He has probably been kicked around a bit the last couple of years with the way he has been treated," McGuire said. "But I think as a playing group we probably haven't given him the support he deserved. "He's had the price-tag stuff, but I feel like he's been our best player the last couple of years and he keeps producing big performances. "He's been able to put together a string of games for us and he keeps putting on those big moments, like that 40-20." "You never hear one complaint out of Benny, that's what makes him so good," McGuire said. "It comes with the job, halfback at a big club like the Dragons and stuff like that. "But as a playing group he has never once pointed the finger at us. He just shoulders it and gets on with the business. "He's just getting better every game. He's like a fine wine, he's getting better with age."
