In a dramatic move that has rattled the Rugby League world, the Dragons have dropped a Ben Hunt bombshell, allowing the star player to seek opportunities elsewhere.
Hunt, the Dragons captain, has been given the green light to start formulating his escape plan, with rumors swirling that he may never don the famous red and white jersey again.
According to reports from news.com.au, the Dragons are open to the idea of releasing Hunt before the 2025 season kicks off, but only if they can find a suitable replacement.
Sources suggest that Hunt has been granted permission to enter discussions with rival clubs immediately, with a potential move on the cards for the 2026 season.
The news comes as no surprise, as Hunt's contract with the Dragons is set to expire at the end of the 2025 season, giving him the freedom to explore his options.
As revealed by News Corp, Hunt is eager to make a move before the start of the 2025 season, signaling his desire to seek new challenges elsewhere.
