In a shock move reminiscent of a last-minute Hail Mary pass, Andrew Johns has made a bold prediction about Ben Hunt's future after the Dragons delivered a brutal end-of-season review.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the Dragons skipper was called out for his lackluster performances in the crucial final month of the season, along with several other players.
It was a harsh reality check for Hunt, who may now be facing the prospect of being sidelined for good.
After a stunning 18-16 victory over the Storm in Melbourne, their first since 1999, the Dragons were flying high, with a shot at making the finals within their grasp.
But like a team that loses its nerve in the dying moments of a close game, they faltered, winning just one more match and squandering their chance to return to the finals for the first time since 2018.
It was a bitter pill to swallow for the Dragons, especially considering their losses to teams lower on the ladder like the Eels and Raiders.
The season that started with so much promise ended in disappointment, leaving fans and pundits scratching their heads at what went wrong.
