Hunt has asked for a release

[BLM01]

This article doesn't say when Hunt asked for a release. Flanagan's claiming he sought out Hunt before signing on. It's the timeline that's important for mine.

You want timing. The CEO said on air this aftrernoon he has talked with them about a release for a few weeks now. It was officially in writing today. Id say the Hook sacking and the way it happened was the last straw in his mind.
But if Hook was the last straw then he can go if he must and can play with the side Hook is coaching

If this is the case hopefully it’s all over red rover.

I can’t imagine he would sit out the games between origins as that may affect his selection

 

[blue bags]

I said it before James Graham and Gordan Tallis both agree with me haha, we need FLANAGAN NOW!

Flanno junior

will be interesting to see if hunt backs up after origin or he picks up a mysterious injury until origin 3

Better to get rid of him now than have his moping ass affecting the rest of the team. Cut ties on the proviso that he doesn’t play for another club for the rest of the season. In the meantime we give Sullivan game time to develop as our future half back and use the money we would have otherwise spent on Hunt to get some quality forwards.

What a sook.
Didnt want to face his team mates.
Took his ball home like a little kid.
Like he's going to win anything with that club.

I didn't, but did anyone else buy the Hunt 300 games shirt? I implore all fans when they go to the next home game to throw that shirt on the ground in the stadium.

There's no way in hell we give Hunt to another club this year after we've paid the majority of his salary and the new club pays buggerall.

No mate it will become a collectors item ...... Captain of the Red V jumping ship when it's sinking .......

Yep he can sit with Hook at home and they can sook together ......

I'm sure most supporters are in two minds about this situation.

In my opinion, the more this story develops, the more I personally think that it is time for us to move on...

...but we should not be moving on without the adequate compensation coming back our way, and we should absolutely be ensuring that Ben goes onto the salary cap for the next club for exactly the same amount that he will have been at us for 24/25. I also feel he needs to see out 2023 with us (whether that is playing or sitting out).

It really baffles me at how easily players in the game are allowed to break their contracts. Not all of this is on the players, but the power brokers and outside influencers have a lot to answer for as well.

Well Said @matPORTS

what id love is send Hunt to the cowboys and we will take Townsend with the cowboys paying half his salary.

You’d have to think there’d be a transfer fee & salary cap dispensation for the remainder of ‘23.

Having thought about it more, every cent of the millions of dollars that sook has been paid has been completely wasted. Just let him go & let him be somebody else’s expensive problem.

I wouldn’t pick him in the NRL team.
I’d play him at 9 in reserves just to pi55 him off even more.

 

[redVinme]

How can hunt be on 900k/1m but only 250k for Titans to get him for rest of the year? Is it cause contracts start in Nov?

 

[blacksafake]

Said elsewhere that the club should tell his manager that he’ll only be released on these terms.
Must be with a Queensland club only.
Can’t play against us for two years.
And there must be a player swap for a player of our choice otherwise go f**k yourself.

 

[56to66]

Nuh, its like we give you a V8 Mustang for $10000, and we get $3000 Holden Astra, Omg we dealing with the lowest of all Dealers!
Come on we Deserve a Mclaren, Jabba the Hutt!

They

Not turning up to your captains 300 game dinner says so much…they don’t care for him, they will never play for him, he does not have their respect and admiration,
Time to put the Hunt tenure into history.

If your not valued they don’t deserve you
