Fresh speculation has arisen in the Rugby League world with the signing of Tanah Boyd by the NZ Warriors, leading to rumors that Ben Hunt may be his replacement.
Boyd, a young playmaker who fell out of favor at the Titans, has inked a deal with the Warriors for the next two seasons.
However, experts believe this move will have little impact on Hunt's future landing spot, as the Gold Coast team already has strong options in the halves for the upcoming season.
Boyd, who spent six years playing for the Titans and notched up 69 games, found himself on the sidelines for most of last season due to the emergence of Kieran Foran and Jayden Campbell as the preferred playmaking duo.
However, the 24-year-old now has a fresh opportunity in New Zealand, where he is vying for a spot alongside Luke Metcalf in the halves following Shaun Johnson's retirement.
Excited about his new venture, Boyd expressed his admiration for the Warriors and their direction under coach Andrew Webster.
He joins a list of players who have made the switch from Australia to New Zealand and made a significant impact, a trend that Boyd hopes to continue.
In his quest to secure a spot in the Warriors' starting lineup, Boyd will face tough competition from Te Maire Martin and Chanel Harris-Tavita.
The trio will battle it out to partner with Metcalf, who impressed in the previous season before being sidelined by a serious leg injury.
With the Rugby League world buzzing with anticipation, all eyes will be on Boyd as he aims to make his mark in New Zealand and cement his place in the Warriors' lineup.
