Fox reporting Hunt has a clause in his contract that allows him to terminate contract if Hook is hooked

He wont go

I do love a Des press conference blow up. Usually very good viewing

I hope he brings in Toovey (likely) as his assisstant

 

[SAP58]

Good…..see ya!

Couldnt agree more, one of the reasons we are in this mess is players want to have too much say, just focus on playing football. You get good money (too much IMO) to perform so earn your money on the field not off it !

The way we are recruiting I do think from 2024 onwards our strength w be our forwards.. our backline overall is a little ordinary but the young forwards we are recruiting (Fifita etc) could prove to be where our future success stems from

 

[blacksafake]

He wont go

Tend to agree.
Really the only clubs who could possibly be interested would be the tigers, dogs & maybe raiders with the tigers likely to be the only ones able to pay top dollar ?

No club will pay him what we are paying and he’d be in the same predicament playing 9.

and remember he just said he doesnt want to start again under a new coach SO how would he leave only to end up with what he doesnt want ... a very very silly statement ben !!

You know who else is available in 2025? The man himself, Mr Bennett

He and Hook might go and do some pig shootin‘ back up Dingo way.

Des and Hook are slightly different personalities, wouldn't you agree? Like ... opposite poles of humanity.

Yep- one bovine, one OCD- no prizes for guessing which is which. Des will shake the joint up if appointed- but the Dragons are traditionally cautious and conservative by nature so take a front seat folks, it will be an interesting ride.

Well bye bye Benny ..... I won't loose any sleep over it .....

 

[Drakon]

He wont go

Exactly. He likes money too much I've heard. The guys say he never shouts coffee etc. He would be stepping out of the known into the unknown for quite probably less money.

The obvious candidate to coach the Dragons was Jason Demetriou. The Dragons had their chance to sign him at end 2016 following his brilliant year with the Cutters however the BOD did not have the expertise to recognise talent, foresight nor the bottle to sack Mary. Only one man could see his potential. Wayne Bennett rang Jason and told him he 'wants people that are self made'. Jason admitted that prior to that call he had never met Wayne Bennett.

Yep, a big, big mistake. Blame it on the Board again. I keep saying they are just useless!

 

[ground zero]

If Hunt wants to go good leave. But the Dragons wont be topping up his Salary at other clubs. Probably be playing for the Rorters next year under the sumbero

Whoever signed off on Hunt having a clause in his contract if Griffin was let go needs sacking as there was a good chance he was going to get the flick.
Dont get me wrong if Hunt even suggest he wants out then piss him off, i am just sick off poor admin decissions.

I was under the impression that clause was removed from his contract DT.

 

[Trifili13]

Actually if Hunt has the clause that he can leave if Hook gets the boot, then it could actually work in favour, so long as the morons don't have to pay him out.

 

[AyiosYiorgos]

Clause or no clause if Hook gets the sack and Hunt wants to go not much you can do, either way it was mentioned when he signed that their was no clause..

 

[Auntie.Gerald]

Hunt moving does not = top4 succes
