St George Illawarra Dragons captain Ben Hunt has faced criticism for his recent comments about wanting to leave the club and return to Queensland.
Despite being under contract for two more seasons, Hunt has expressed his desire to move back home.
The situation has caused a stir in the NRL, with many questioning Hunt's commitment to the struggling Dragons.
The appointment of new coach Shane Flanagan was seen as a potential turning point, but it seems Hunt remains determined to leave.
Hunt has acknowledged that the Gold Coast Titans may not be a viable option due to salary cap constraints, but he is open to joining any team in Queensland.
He even admitted that retirement was a possibility if he is unable to secure a move away from the Dragons.
These comments have been deemed unacceptable by many, as they suggest a lack of loyalty and dedication to his current team.
The furore surrounding Hunt's future continues to overshadow the Dragons' season, and it remains to be seen how the situation will be resolved.
