MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Brisbane Broncos coach Kevin Walters said Karmichael Hunt could be playing for the struggling National Rugby League (NRL) team within a month once a deal is ironed out for the dual code international.

Twelve years after leaving the Broncos in 2009, former Wallabies centre Hunt is expected to return to Brisbane next week on a train-and-trial contract, having impressed for feeder club Souths Logan in the Queensland state league.
