Hunt has asked for a release

[Dragon Blood]

Maybe Mary can convince Parra to take Hunt and we get Mitchell Moses. Isn't Mary at Parra?

I have Parra will never win a comp with Mitchell Moses, just like I predicted that we will never win a comp with our million-dollar (C)Hunt right from the start

If C.Hunt doesn’t try or plays poorly, he should be dropped to KOE and left there till either his attitude changes or he retires.

I am so sick and tired of muppets orchestrating their way out of contracts. Spend the money and make him suffer playing park footy.

Play him in the forwards. He either swims or sinks.

Either way it’s time the club took a strong stance and made an example of him.

This would not be in the best interest of the club mainly because the club's invested heavily and is committed to paying the approx 900k p/a whether he plays in the NRL side or the reserve grade side.

Management has again made poor decisions and should be held accountable for them however, if Hunt wants out he should arrange to pay out his contract as if the shoe was on the other foot, he would demand the Club pay out his contract.

There aren't many good halfbacks running around Soward and Hornby weren't the best either.
Its all about attitude and Having other good players around you, Saints don't even have that, so you're right.

With Hunt, Bird, and a few of the deadwood gone, we would have the cap space to buy a couple of very good props. This alone would ensure an improved performance in 2024.

To my shame I have jumped to many incorrect conclusions regarding Ben Hunt.

I have recently learned that, if he stays in NSW, he will require complex and expensive ‘Dissection Repair’ surgery on the nerve that runs from his eyes to his anus, called the Eyenus nerve. Without this risky procedure, his Shitty outlook on life will never improve.

However, if he moves to Queensland, where I hear the Anus and Head are easily interchangeable, he can avoid this costly procedure.

Take care of yourself Ben. We’ll miss having you around!

Mitchell Moses,

He took em to the finals in two of the past three seasons. Hunt has not come close. Have Mitch in a heartbeat over the overpaid, disloyal sook.

We only need one as Blake Lawrie is already a good prop and will be even better once our hi performances guru is finished with him. Be interested in seeing how local junior Josh Coric goes at pre season trials.

 

[dragon thomo]

You need three good props. Two starting and one off the bench. That was a big issue with the Warriors last week. AFB was up against three good props.

Of the beaten track I realize , however on that game - Broncs & Warriors , I was very impressed with the Warriors young fair hair centre Rocco Berry .

Knows how to tackle and gave his all . Reminded me of an ‘ old school ‘ player named Kenny Maddison .

I may be speaking too soon but there is nothing in the press this week about Hunt wanting a release. Are they saving this for Sunday's news? Or are they too busy for poor Benny covering the GF, to speak to him and see how he is feeling this week. Benny must be spewing as it appears he thinks he is bigger than the game and should hog the papers like he did with the Origin build up.

How long till Benny returns to Alcatraz? Flanno has the keys to his cell in Kogarah Jubilee Goal as we speak.

The spoilt brat cant overshadow the GF. wait till its over then it may resume? I did notice he was saying he will be a Dragon next year recently to the press so I think he has been told to say that or he wont get what he wants. Flanno had a meeting with him either a day or a couple of days before he said that.

 

[Gardenia]

That's just disgraceful.

The next thing Flanno and the club need to do is get rid of him.

As a Dragons fan honestly, you're not my first choice either and there is no way he should be here next year.

I was in the keep him until a replacement was done however, I'd be happy to see Kyle as number seven next year.

Spot on!!
He was my first choice before this
But he is not my first choice now either
Id rather lose with dignity then have this clown in our team

 

[Gardenia]

I think releasing him would be a foolish thing for the Dragons to do. I can understand the angst his comments are causing for Dragons fans, but to me, that is what he is wanting so that, due to fans not being happy the Board give into his demands and release him.

That would just show every player that if you persist in making those type of demands, the Dragons hierarchy will cave in.

Now there are a few ways this could be resolved.

Option 1: Go hard line and tell him if he wants to retire, go ahead. Call his bluff. He probably won't get paid if he does, and also the NRL would be unlikely to register any new contract if he then "miraculously" un-retired and signed with another NRL club.

Option 2: Hard line, but less public. Keep him and send him down to NSW Cup. Tell him it is for disciplinary reasons due to his public comments, which is undermining squad harmony. Just because he is reputedly amongst the club's highest paid players does not mean he gets a free pass.

Option 3: Tell him they will let him go, provided the club that wants to sign him is will to offer a compensation package that meets its demands (e.g. a good couple of up and coming players or a star player).

I personally think those are amongst the likely best options for your club.

Didnt Bennett take Option 2 when he did this at the Broncos?

 

[John moz]

Suck it up butter cup what a baby he signed and had all his broncos bum chums at the club including his coach and now he wants out .
He sat on a million a year for 5 years did f**k all then resigned another 2 years .
Cry all the way to nsw cup if he wants but flanno will stick solid or will shift him to no 9 next 2 years .

With our current squad , which halfback would have won us a comp?

even with any squad Hunts been a part of?

hardly Nostradamus level prediction

I get the anti Hunt sentiment but this is getting ridiculous

replace hunt with cronk, cleary, Johns those squads still aren’t winning a comp

Yep Hunt to be interviewed on stage just before they give out the rings on Sunday night

I'd be very happy if Hunt left if it freed up enough cap space to buy 2 new first-grade props.

Prop Rotation

Francis molo is as average as they come. Terrible defence does shit all in attack. He is bog average mate we need more then just 2 props his defence is woeful. His younger brother was picked in the pm13 , jesus christ what a shambles we have become. He would hardly make the top 30 in any club these days he is horrible

 

[KingFlanno7]

Blake lawrie is 3 years younger, averages more metres, made over 240 more tackles for the same %, he is bog average stats dont lie, And 40+ tackle breaks seriously He wont make the 18 next year flanno isnt dumb

 

[KingFlanno7]

I guarantee f molo starts in reserve grade next year. He is a penalty magnet and bog average. Blake lawrie is levels above him
