Dragons key players Officially announce  his commitment to dolphins

 

In a surprising move, the Dolphins have launched a bold recruitment bid for Dragons veteran halfback Ben Hunt ¹. This comes after two failed attempts to sign English playmaker Lewis Dodd and rising star Blaize Talagi, who opted for rival teams instead.

 

The Dolphins are eager to secure a skilled playmaker to partner with rising star Isaiya Katoa long-term. Hunt, with his wealth of experience and expertise, would be an ideal fit. However, the Dragons are reluctant to let him go, with his current contract extending until the end of the 2025 season.

 

*Dragons Stand Firm*

 

Despite the Dolphins’ interest, the Dragons have made it clear that Hunt is not for sale. This stance is consistent with their previous refusal to release him when the Titans and Broncos made offers in 2023 ¹.

 

*Hunt’s Future Uncertain*

 

Hunt, 34, is contemplating his future in the sport. He has expressed doubts about extending his stay at the Dragons, citing concerns about his age and the physical demands of the game ². With retirement looming, Hunt’s decision will significantly impact the Dragons’ roster rebuild.

 

*A Desperate Move*

 

The Dolphins’ pursuit of Hunt highlights their desperation for a top-notch playmaker. Their failed attempts to sign Dodd and Talagi have left them eager to secure a seasoned player like Hunt. However, the Dragons’ firm stance may force the Dolphins to explore alternative options.

 

*What’s Next?*

 

As the Dolphins continue their recruitment efforts, the Dragons face pressure to retain their talisman. Hunt’s decision will have far-reaching implications for both teams. Will the Dolphins succeed in luring him away, or will the Dragons convince him to stay? The rugby league community watches with bated breath as this transfer saga unfolds.
