Brisbane will take on St George Illawarra on Sunday.

Hunt, a former Bronco, has been under fire with the Dragons' struggling for results in the past few months.

Boyd believes the criticism the halfback has copped is unfair.

"It’s hard not to hear all the criticism, which is pretty disappointing,” the fullback said.

"I don’t want to go into it too much, but we are all human beings and we all play rugby league for the fun and the love of it. Some of the criticism he has got is pretty disappointing in my opinion.

"I hope he has a good game [on Sunday]. Not good where he beats us obviously, but good in his own right because he is a good fella and a good player and I think the criticism is pretty terrible to be honest.

"He’s a quality player Benny and he played a lot of years here. He got the No.7 jersey for Queensland this year, which was fully warranted."
