BEN Hunt has surged past Cooper Cronk and Daly Cherry-Evans to become the NRL's best halfback this season, his Broncos teammates say.
Hunt arrived as a premier halfback in Campbelltown on Saturday night, almost single-handedly beating the Wests Tigers.
In his 100th NRL game, 26th in the No.7, Hunt was Michael Jordan-clutch.

With four minutes remaining, a Johnathan Thurston-style show-and-go created a linebreak to set up his own match-winning penalty goal attempt.
"When the game is on the line I want the ball in my hands," Hunt told The Courier-Mail.
"You have to back yourself and have a dig at it.
"That was the biggest kick I have had to do in my career. With a bit of luck it went over."

That is the confidence and leadership the Broncos have yearned for in a halfback since Allan Langer retired.
Beside his late heroics, Hunt also set up Brisbane's two tries - first with a precise flat-ball that put Corey Oates into a hole, the second with a pin-point bomb that Lachlan Maranta plucked before off-loading to Oates.
"In my opinion he's the form halfback in the competition," Brisbane prop Josh McGuire said.
"I have played alongside him since he was 14. We played in Queensland junior teams together.
"I love playing with Benny. He's inspirational and a great halfback.
"We always knew how good he was. It has taken a little bit longer than people expected.
"He's had class halfbacks in front of him in Peter Wallace and Scott Prince, though."

McGuire's claim that Hunt is the premier halfback right now has merit.
He leads the competition in line breaks with 11, a phenomenal feat for a man who stands just 178cm tall and weighs 85 kilograms.
He is also in the top five for tries scored (seven) and try-assists (nine).
Cronk has 15 try assists and Cherry-Evans has nine but otherwise their attacking statistics are well below Hunt's.
