The Hunt clusterf**k all started with the Jetski.

Imbecile Mc Fookknuckle created a false impression for Hunt and kept reinforcing it.

Hunt was anything but 1 of the boys at the Broncos and has been anything but 1 of the boys in his time with us.

He looks and acts like a bit of a social misfit but not surprising after all he is a Queenslander.

A good captain should be a conduit between the players and the coaching staff. If players have a problem they should feel comfortable talking to their captain, who should have the judgement to determine if the player just needs to pull their head in or it's a real issue that he can help them address, with either the coach or management.

Stories circulating that Hunt "is being buffeted by a list of grievances from Dragons teammates over the running of the club" and that he "is sick of being the middle man" are about the most disappointing things I've ever read about a St George captain.

See this will be your legacy Benny boy. This is what you'll be remembered for in all future pub conversations. Forget about anything good you've done. Remember you're retired far longer than your playing career mate. Well done!
This just may take all the focus off his dropped ball 😂

and probably grossly exaggerated. Hook and Sook are clearly sold on their own propaganda.

A cousin of mine used to live next door ro Corey Parker when Ben Hunt was still with Brisbane. He claims that Ben Hunt broke Corey Parkers quad bike by taking it over a jump too many times, and generally being a goose with it.

In hindsight, maybe it's a pity Mary didn't lend him the jetski. Had Hunt wrecked that, he may never have been hired.

Say no more... a quad bike and jetski operated by a d'head ... I've got a clear picture now.

He was the middle man between the players and the board because guess what Ben, the players were not happy about the coach, your mate. All the onfield issues stemmed from him not the BOD. If your mate was not there maybe the players would not be going to you to voice their concerns like any player would do to their capt. As if the players were whinging about keeping Hook? It was clear they did not have time for him therefore not playing for him with 2 wins in the first 10 rounds.

Keeping him as captain is really showing disrespect for such an important role in a team. Why keep him as capt? There are guys that would love to be not only part of the red V but capt. He wants neither which he has indicated and for Saints to keep picking him as capt really shows poor form and that the captaincy is not really held in high esteem to a player that deserves it.

Maybe that is why Lomax is disgruntled. If it's true players are pi$$ed with BH, and the club is telling everyone how much they want to keep the twat, then they will definitely want to leave. I have a feeling it will either be Hunt or Lomax to go as both will not be in the team in 2024.

"A great man doesn't seek to lead. He's called to it. And he answers."

Looks like Benny's answer is to have a cry and run straight back to his childhood comfort zone. Pissweak leader

It's been painfully obvious for ages that Hunt, Hook, Macca, McGuire ... has been a thorn in the side for StGI for years. IMO, it's been like fighting against a terminal disease. I think we're now in remission with only a minor operation required at this stage.

Highly likely didn't pay for a replacement?

Hunt is a fart in a bottle ,send him back to reserve grade for the remainder of the season.
If he is going to turn in shite like he has since he grandstanded in origin camp 2 and broadcast to the world he wanted out, then we will be losing nothing.
For reasons known only to them the media pushes this blokes barrow.

The only time we have seen any performance from him that matched his pay packet is when his grossly overinflated contract was up for renewal.

We tolerated this bloke when he played ineptly game after game and when his missus was bleating about him being attacked on social media, you take the big money you need performance to match it and if you don't perform then criticism will follow, that's the way it is ,the club stuck solid behind him.

The true Ben Hunt is on show now and what a pathetic circus it is ,he waits until he is in origin camp again and then doubles down on criticizing the club ,Ricky Stuart has a good description of people of this character.
In my opinion sending him back to reserves will show management with a backbone and will be a good lesson to Hunt on how to act in the real world ,it will give him time to reflect when every opposition player is trying to bash him so they have a story for their mates down the pub.

Saints aren't in the greatest of spaces at the moment ,but this is an opportunity to get things going in the right direction as all the dirty laundry is out there for everyone to see, so hopefully the club rightfully returns serve and does this, and gives as good as it is getting from this disrespectful, undermining, overpaid entitled clown.

Final point ,its funny how all the grievances are trotted out now after his mate Hook is gone (thank god), yet judging by all his gripes the problems were there when Hook was there ,he just makes the narrative up to suit his agenda.
Reserve Grade beckons Benny.

If it hasnt happened already The Club should sit down the other top 29 and ask them DO THEY WANT HUNT IN THE SIDE OR NOT ?
This is called player power and the Club backing them
It can be a secret ballot or show of hands
The majority have the say
If they dont want him , he goes back to NSW Cup until his preferred Club option comes up with a more than suitable exchange for 2024/25
While we didnt get the result last night ,the EFFORT was there and the group appeared much FREER and UNITED , akin to a hand brake being released or a CANCER cut out
Over to you Dragons Board
Onwards and upwards

Agree 100% dragonreddy. You have said the things that Hunt deserves. His pathetic excuses are what gets to me so much and how and when he gives them irks me to high heaven.

Kick him out of first grade. Why allow him to show his sooky face and his I don't care attitude to all us fans and the other players.

It will be good when he finally leaves us.

The idea has merit, but I would prefer to see the board act /override coach and just do it.
That would show that despite the clubs current position ,they are not going to be pushed around by a petulant spoilt brat.
At the moment Hunt is doing a ton of damage to the club ,yet still fronting up for his salary and seems to have no concept of how hard he is crapping all over the club.

Plenty of his rubbish performances over the years have contributed to the clubs current position.

He is acting like a DOG treat him like one.
