Probably could have just sat back and half assed it at the dragons for another year if that were the case I thinkHe wants the money.

If he wants the money, he doesn't leave the DragonsHe wants the money.
I would easily put him in front of SOS. Katoa is still only 20. He is going to be in the team, but with Hunt there they have the option to rest him, or play him alongside Hunt if they make Kodi a 14. The other option is JMK does get injured a fair bit so Hunt or Kodi could end up spending a fair bit of time at 9 as well. Good teams have these kind of options available.
Just because SOS had a good game against us and Reynolds didnt have a good year doesnt mean anything really. SOS is as bang average as you can get. He's a bit part player, thats all he ever has been througout his career. The Dolphins Jock Madden. Reynolds is what he is, a good quality 7 coming to the end of his career who gets injured a bit too much these days. I'd still take him over O'Sullivan.
I think he means he wanted out of the dragons but he will go where ever the money and contract terms he wants are met.If he wants the money, he doesn't leave the Dragons
I'd be surprised if Hunt stays in Sydney.
He's been outspoken about returning to Queensland.
Are you sure you are not confusing Rep player Hunt to NRL comp Hunt ?
I have watched him a fair bit . I don`t think he surpasses either SoS or Katoa .
Also he has said repeatedly he doesn`t want to play #9 or #14 .
Opened to all offers, but he still has his priorities.He has 'softened' on the idea.
You do have to ask though, with The signing Saifiti, extending almost everyone including some big ones in Katoa, Hammer, etc plus still having Flegs' salary on their books, how do they offer Hunt more than even we can?
I dont think Hunts value is going to be anywhere near this million he is on now. He will be 35 just after next season kicks off. Common sense should dictate hes not looking at massive money anymore.
But again, how can The afford him and not us? They also have some pretty big contracts:
- Flegler
- Farnworth
- Saifiti
- Hammer
- Katoa
- Kaufusi
- Gilbert
- Funifeiuaki
- Isaako (upgraded)
- Marshall-King
All these guys are on decent to huge salaries.
Saifiti would be subsidised from what i understand. Thats what delayed the deal as he dug his heels in.
Losing Bromwich would offset a few of the upgrades, and iirc they front ended a few of their first year contracts which might give them a bit of leeway as well.
I do agree though, they cant have much to play with, but they seem pretty confident they have a decent amount of space in their cap so who knows.
Tanah Boyd released immediately to join the warriors on a 2 year deal.
Certainly won't free up enough cash for Hunt but the timing is interesting at least.
There is no way whatsoever they can afford him surely after also signing on RCG.
