Hunt wanted OUT ! Hunt wanted OUT ! How many times does that need to be said ? ? ? The Dragons , Flanagan wanted the little mischief maker to remain in the Big Red V .
Hunt done everything but tear up his contract in an effort leave us and finally the club gave him his little hearts desire . The main point that I am attempting to get across is that it was Hunt himself that left the Dragons without a play maker - NOT THE CLUB NOR FLANAGAN THEMSELVES .
Gazza I partly agree. No doubt Hunt wanted out and Flanno said all the right things publicly..but
I believe in the beginning Flanno needed Hunt no doubt this year and even said early on tyhis year lets look at 2026 sucking up.
I said 12 months ago, reading between the lines based on Flannos words that he guaranteed this year only and would revisit it then based on the antics in 2023.
Flanno is no fool and the way Hunt / manager carried on would never have been lost on him..nor the club for that fact. We seemingly got Hunt on side then when it was time....
Hunt was never a guarantee for next year despite what was trotted in the media
He got a kick up the arse and guess what do you know...he is gone.
Flanno played the game of Hunt publicly and internally well IMO.
