The Dragons' decision to remove the offer of a contract extension for Ben Hunt has sparked rumors that he may have played his final match for the team, with the Gold Coast Titans emerging as a potential destination.

Hunt's performance in the last two games of the NRL season left much to be desired, and the Dragons dropped from eighth to 11th, missing out on the finals.

Following a heated conversation between coach Shane Flanagan and Hunt after their loss to Parramatta, it seems that Hunt's late-season form was not up to scratch.

The Dragons have reportedly withdrawn the offer of a contract extension for 2026, making Hunt a free agent from November 1.

It appears that the Dragons are willing to let Hunt go if he can secure a new club for the 2025 season.

The Titans have been mentioned as a possible landing spot for the experienced halfback, especially since he expressed a desire to return to Queensland last year to be closer to his and his wife's families.

Hunt's wife, Bridget, has connections to Queensland through her father, former Maroons coach Michael Hagan, and they still have family in the Sunshine State.

The Titans are in need of a halfback to replace Kieran Foran and are reportedly interested in bringing Hunt on board.
