Yes, he’s gone from wanting to be “just a part of the side” to being the “golden immortal sage and home grown saviour” in the space of a couple of days.

Up until recently, I thought it wasn’t possible for a person to stick their head so far up their own ass.

I’ve heard (obviously untrue) rumours his deal included a job post career.

I thought this wasn’t even allowed? Or has the rule changed? Surely every rooster and bulldog would have a guaranteed job after as well then.

It’s not supposed to be allowed, but footy mate at work says it’s the (untrue) rumour amongst some players.

We will find out I guess.

I understand from the fish wrappers that Hunt believes he can get young Walsh playing at another level.

Possibly. A level lower.

Depends on how Peruvian marching powder is available.

Just listening to him being interviewed on SEN, so he is happy to play 9 for the Broncos but refused to for us. WTF ?

Desperate times demand desperate measures.
I think he's just had a reality check and he is on a media blitz to stroke his ego.

I mean it’s been reported that way… how is no one saying anything? Oh cause it’s not the dragons….

This is what someone has written in Reddit on the matter.

"How many people fail to understand that the salary cap rules provide a specific and documented provision for this exact scenario - detailing that it IS permitted as part of their final year of their career, they can receive both an income from their NRL contract AND payment for a transition to a working role for post football life. It just needs to be at commercial rates and not some dodgy 500k+ a year for an entry level role etc."
"Under NRL salary cap rules, in the final year of their career, a player can be paid off the salary cap as part of their transition into retirement. It is understood the role has to be documented and the payment has to be at market rates."

Well the media loves to set up a villain and then lift him up and then cut him down.

Because it’s not about balanced reporting, it’s about selling advertising.

So much for Hunt supposedly staying in Sydney to look after his kids and wife.

He even used them to try to justify his ever changing decisions.

Pretty self-centred, narcissistic and grubby stuff.

I don’t think many of us would use our family in that way.

And he described his exit as “messy”.

No Ben, it was simply you being a tool.

And he’s not going to change because he’s up there. He will become even more feral and infect their side with his shameless selfishness.

Flanno called him out. Just picked up the ball and ran at him!

I wish Benji had some guts, anyway, he’s simply not ready to coach NRL atm.
