It will take some mental gymnastics to work this one out. So, if a player scores a jackpot once in their career it sets a floor under their remuneration until they retire? Even when the player repeatedly requested to be released from his jackpot contract? Fascinating.
Mwahaha.
I don't think it's that. I think it's a case that he had a contract for $1M that he walked away from, and therefore that's his current worth for 2025 in terms of the salary cap. Ben Hunt has screwed himself by taking far too much money from St George last contract. Not many clubs will have a spare million in their salary cap for a player with his shelf life and use-by date.
I am sure he will end up somewhere but this just goes to show his real value. He will be expecting too much coin, just as he always has. Not a big time club player at all. The media always liked to rave about how the Dragons were the ones letting Hunt down, on the field or at the negotiation table. They have gone quiet now that his true worth as a player is showing.
Nah - Not yet - only been 3 weeks
