The St George Illawarra Dragons are on the hunt for a new playmaker to fill the void left by the departure of the esteemed Ben Hunt.
After seven seasons and 147 battles on the field for the Dragons, Hunt's time with the club has come to an end, leaving a gaping hole in the halves for the 2025 NRL season.
With the pressure on to find a suitable replacement, the Dragons have narrowed down their options to a select group of five players.
Reports from the Daily Telegraph suggest that the Dragons have their sights set on a diverse range of talent, including Super League stars Bevan French and Brodie Croft, young gun Daniel Atkinson from the Cronulla Sharks, crafty Rabbitohs halfback Lachlan Ilias, and versatile Wests Tigers player Adam Doueihi.
As the Dragons gear up for a new era and set their sights on reaching the NRL Finals once again, the search for a new halves combination is crucial.
With these five potential candidates in the mix, the Dragons are hoping to find the perfect fit to lead their team to victory on the field in the coming season.
