Ben Hunt requests release from the Drags

[Tiger Shark]

Is ben really the dragons best player?

All I see is everyone calling him a f**kstick loser shitstain who can't kick a ball to save his life. He's had exactly two seasons at the Dragons with a win rate above 50%

Shit player on huge money. Just get rid of him

He's their best player but it's a low bar.

No, you used an example of Gasnier coming back to the NRL being the same as Hunt leaving for the remainder of 2023.
Which NRL club did Gasnier leave to play the remainder of the season back in 2010?

Please post where I have done this

Did you squeal like a stuck pig when those other clubs did it or is it just a Broncos thing?

The above was in response to this statement “It was bullshit when Gasnier returned to the Dragons for 50k”
Context, you were trying to draw parallels to Hunt where there are none. So it was a response to Gasnier coming back for a portion of the year. I’ll ask again, which NRL club was he coming from?
Edited
If I have mistaken/misunderstood your intent, apologies. But I am in no doubt that’s what you meant.

Yes, by far.

Souffs land Wighton for '24 on less money

And yet all of a sudden, as soon as Brisbane look to land a big fish, OMFG SCANDAL CRISIS HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN TERRIBLE LOOK...

I honestly don't know why I'm so surprised.

Better footy player than card player, apparently.

Yeah it is.

Lol

Keep reflecting. You’ll figure it out.

You received a 500k transfer fee for Oloapu, so if you want to pay $1.5m for Hunt you are welcome to him.

All 4 examples the two parties came to a mutual agreement to terminate the contract. Capiche?

Wowee, talk about playing the victim. They have every right not to grant a release.

1.5m outside of the cap for a club like Brisbane, it's chump change really.

However, I don't think any sum of money would be worth it, what St George need is a player or 2 out of it.

I don't think that was aimed at St George Illawarra but rather the media coverage.

Relax brah!

This is just one battle. There's still a war to be won!

What a load of horseshyte.

He was injury prone & had played SFA games for Brisbane (17 games in 2 years).

Brisbane wanted him out the door ASAP, they had signed him on a 4 year deal worth 4 million dollars. They agreed to cover most of his remaining contract. If they didn't want him gone they wouldn't have forked out so much $$.

Entirely Brisbane's stuff up 4 years on 4 mill (seriously). He didn't sign a contract extension months before getting a release. Not even remotely similar. It's not as if Brisbane don't have a history of shocking over paid signings. Martin Kennedy, Ben Barba, Anthony Milford (although Milf did give you one good year out of 6), Isaac Luke & Jack Bird.

I don't remember much criticism at all, barely a ripple if any. Enough of the histrionics mate.

Three million dollars but what’s a million between friends

Just because you live under a rock doesn't mean there wasn't any noise about those other deals. Ricky had his team of ghost writers howling at the moon for months about the Wighton deal.

You get surprised when you don't piss on your pant leg though.
