Not looking promising, career likely over

Very sad for him.

Depending on how early he was diagnosed, his outcome will greatly vary. Given what i know of this illness, a relative normal life could be it unfortunately. Elite sport would be highly unlikely.

Ben hunt spotted in Brisbane after sharks game.
He is not committed to his team and played like it on Thursday night.
Get him playing reserves to the end of this season then trade him for the next 2 seasons.

He was in Brisbane shooting a beer commercial. Not negotiating

Yes, he was again not interested in trying to help us win the game against the Sharks. Just a waste of space and a bad influence now on the team. Reserves then piss him off to the highest bidder.

Off topic though, looks like the Cowboys are trying to reverse their big loss against the Tigers in their earlier clash this year (66-18). They are currently thrashing the Tigers 42-0 after 40 minutes. The Cowboys players are executing their attack so good that I envy them. I know they are playing the Tigers (who are just like us as a dysfunctional joint venture club) but, wow, if only we can do just half of what they can do in attack I'd be very happy.

Flanno is sorting out our squad - there will be many told the same. No mucking about. Only want the right players to fill the positions who are prepared to give their all.

Hunt will be sorted. He isn't required. Even when he didn't have the humps, he wasn't a world beater. I want a captain that bleeds red and white like Hornby and Creagh etc. not an outsider like Hunt who has not given his "soul" to the Dragons.

 

[Desperate Dragon]

The Lomax release story comes with a fairly big caveat.
Free to go to another club as long as the Dragons do not have to put any money into the release of his contract rumoured to be $800K a season.
Any takers???

 

[St Tangles]

How is he on $800K?
Weren't all the reports when he signed around $650K

 

[ChocOConnor]

Wow I’m astounded. I thought Zac would flourish under Flanno. Well he is a win at any cost coach and ruthless. Probably someone we needed years ago. But he must have someone in mind or confident of something to put this out there. Could also be a ploy by him to get through to Zac and make sure he knows no one is safe

Choc maybe someone after him ?? I'm like you thought he would flourish under flanno must have someone in the wings lets hope its a gun centre

No way he's on $800k Desperate.

 

[Gold_Coast Dragon]

Zac is good, just not elite. He should be on 400k max.

Probably the roosters, he could reunite with sergis

Fails to release Hunt who will now be going nowhere as no one wants him and tells Zac to go.
Well at least there's room for his son NOW

 

[RedVee_8]

@possum did you want Val Holmes? Maybe Flanno thinks Val = Lomax + Hunt

 

[John moz]

100% V Holmes Dragons

Terrible if that is the case

 

[hewi]

Flanagan, a member of The Continuous Call Team, said the star centre isn't going anywhere. “I want all my players to want to be at the club and Zac Lomax is exactly the same as Ben Hunt – he won't be leaving the club at anytime soon,” Flanagan said

I don’t think so. That was reported at 2109

 

[Dragonssupporter]

Very sad for him.

I don’t whether he’s had a bag fitted or not but most people with this disease do. That means that hard contact physical sport is out. You couldnt risk a bag accident on the field. I might be wrong and I really hope i am, but to me , top level NRL would be out for him
