‘Will not be there’: Hunt reveals contract regret as early Red V exit looms after 2024

‘He will not be there’: Hunt reveals contract regret as early Dragons exit looms

www.foxsports.com.au

In what era is this type of commentary by a Club Captain accepted ?

This has gone on way too long, and Hunt, even allowing for his " whilst im here i will try hard and train hard ", wants OUT...

He cant be Captain.

He shouldn't be in our squad.

Point me to one occasion whereby the Captain of an NRL Club ( after signing a new 2 year extension deal ), has been so ADAMANT about leaving ? If so, how did that end ?

I may be in the minority but I don't want this guy leading the Saints in 24. Do a deal Falanno and piss him off.

You all may find this of interest (note, this is not pay walled). Its about the NRL Integrity Unit launching an investigation to possible tampering by the Broncos in relation to trying to sign Ben Hunt earlier this year-

I love that he only wants players in the squad that really want to be there.

Not real good with the self awareness is he?

What disturbs me is the “ The Dragons were not the club to make the complaint “ . And we all wonder why the sands of the hourglass are running out at the Dragons ? ? ?

Let him go there and he can play hooker cause he won’t dislodge Reynolds
They can pay his Alan Joyce salary and give him some bonuses as well for being such a loyal leader.
Hmm I wonder if they’re related

 

[SGMax]

Sean keppie? Could be one of the forwards flanno mentioned ?

I have heard his name mentioned...would be OK with it.
Sipley on the other hand seems to be unable to lock down a spot in the first choice prop rotation.
I have seen him play a couple of games where he has run amok.
May be a little inconsistent if Manly are using him as depth.

 

[Parko1310]

No to Keppie. The Tigers are keen which says something and they'll probably get him too given that Fulton is on recruitment there now. All of my mates who go for Manly don't rate him at all, one said the tigers can keep taking their "scraps". I can't say i've ever been overly impressed by him either

 

[Dragon David]

Yep, not impressed with Keppie. He is a tryer but that's about it.

NRL crackdown continues as Broncos under investigation over Ben Hunt dealings

In addition to the post by Captain Apollo. I am really hoping that the NRL does more crackdowns in the future and that they arrange for a really thorough Audit of all of the Clubs' salary caps.

Well that puts the poor old Wests Tigers and us out of the running. Plenty of room under the salary cap at the Roosters.

 

[baggygreen man]

Now ya talking!!!

 

[baggygreen man]

Well that puts the poor old Wests Tigers and us out of the running.

Pleased about that as our brittle middle defense has been one of the main reasons for another poor season and Thompson's defensive record is moderate at best. We want to recruit blokes that can tackle as well as carry the leather. Seems our recruitment people miss this vital aspect.

 

[baggygreen man]

Flanno gave the Sharks the biggest and most volatile spray they ever had.

Flanagan needs to do same with the disloyal sook instead of kow towing to him like he was Joey Johns or Peter Sterling quality. Give him some home truths that if you dont want to play for a famous club like the RedV then there is no room for you here. Stop pussy footing with him.

What disturbs me is the “ The Dragons were not the club to make the complaint “ . And we all wonder why the sands of the hourglass are running out at the Dragons ? ? ?

Thats the first thing you would do isnt it. Make an official complaint? Kevy was at Bens special dinner went out of his way to go there. Its so obvious something suss was happening with the immediate release request.

 

[Gardenia]

We should have expected a Hunt story, the gutless one is on camp with the Aussies. Only says this crap when he is away from the club.

Looks like every time he goes on camp his contacts the media. Geez, I hope he does not get picked for Aust or Qld ever again after this. Hoefuly Cleary and DCE get the halfback spots and Grant and Api get the hooker spots for Aust.

Exactly right!!
I guess we can look forward to more of the same come origin camp next year
