In a shocking twist of events, Dragons recruit Damien Cook has opened up about his devastation over the sudden departure of club captain Ben Hunt.

Cook, who joined the Dragons with hopes of playing alongside Hunt, expressed his surprise at the unexpected exit of his mate.

Hunt's tumultuous time at the Dragons finally came to an end as he mutually agreed to part ways with the club, opting out of the final year of his hefty contract.

The Dragons halfback has been linked with several clubs, with talks heating up as Maguire eyes him amidst the Ezra Mam controversy.

The Roosters have emerged as the latest club to show interest in Hunt, with coach Trent Robinson hinting at a possible signing to bolster their squad.

While Hunt may be ready to move on, Cook, a former New South Wales No.9, is left devastated by his friend's exit, as he aimed to bring his winning ways to the struggling team.

With a gaping hole in their lineup, the Dragons are now on the hunt for a new halfback to fill the void.

Cook, determined to raise the standards at his new club, expressed his surprise at Hunt's swift departure, as he had hoped to share the field with his mate for at least one season.
