If he sits out, he doesn’t get paid.

If he doesn’t turn up to training, he gets sacked and doesn’t get paid.

He has no other options to get paid his top dollar without showing up, bottom lip on the ground (as usual) and doing what he’s told.
From the articles and quotes it would appear that the announcement today is that Hunt's contract has been agreed to be void... therefore he is a free agent to sign where he pleases BUT there is NO agreement for Hunt to be paid by the Dragons into the future... Good luck to him I guess - although not too much when he plays against the Red + Whites. At least SOO should be quieter for us in '25; given that our captain will do be looking to 'escape' back to QLD.

2GB right now...absolutely roasting Mr Hunt.

Ugh I cringe at the voice of Mark Levy. Dreadful. But I think I cringed even harder hearing Flanno talking about Adam Douehi. Yikes.

Flanno has had about 7 or 8 player managers ring him today some coming off contract some off contract names include Douiehi, Wishart, Ilias etc……

Also speaks of Damien highly potential Captain option.

Just listened to the interview was a good one.

Anyway good luck guys I’m sure you’ll get the right one Wishart would be a great pick up

Fox sport reports that Hunt and Dragons have officially parted ways. The Dragons have given him an immediate release. I’m very disappointed. I think Cook and Hunt could have been a great combination. With no quality half backs on the market I‘m not optimistic about 2025. We now have Lomax and Hunt walk out of the club and taking a huge drop in their salaries just to get away from the place. It’s not a great look.

i understand and agree with the happiness that hunt is gone. Not for his game play, not his effort or value, but for the off-field behaviour and media releases.

we have to find a 7, and I kind of expect it will be short term pain till that happens.

but I’m willing to suffer that if all the players play with passion for the club and act like proud players for my club.

(I don’t put Lomax in this bracket. All he did was want out, and get out. Always played with passion and effort, even in not 100% with brain at times. Was sad to see him go).

I just told my wife, who hasn't followed NRL since the Bears were ousted, about Ben Hunt.

She immediately said "that's great for the Dragons, like the Mariners you need a 'Team' of committed players without someone like Hunt who has set up a massive 'marquee' in his head."

Go figure!
