Dragons Dump Captain Ben Hunt: Is This the End of an Era?

It's official, folks. The St. George Illawarra Dragons have parted ways with their captain, Ben Hunt. The news came as a shock to many fans, who saw Hunt as a cornerstone of the team. But the truth is, the Dragons have been struggling for years, and change was needed.

This wasn't a decision made lightly. The Dragons are in a serious rebuild, and they clearly felt Hunt wasn't the right fit for the future. It's a tough pill to swallow for the fans, especially after Hunt's leadership throughout the 2023 season. He was a consistent performer, even in a team that struggled to find its footing.

But there's more to this story than just a captain getting sacked. This is a sign that the Dragons are serious about turning things around. They've got a new coach in Griffin, and now they've got a clean slate in the halves. This is their chance to build a fresh, exciting team for the future.

What's Next for Hunt?

The question now is: where will Hunt end up? There's no shortage of teams looking for a quality halfback. But with Hunt being 32 years old, some may question if he's got a few good years left in him.

Personally, I think Hunt has plenty to offer. He's a genuine game-breaker, and his experience could be invaluable to a team in need. Whoever picks him up will be getting a seasoned veteran who can still produce magic on the field.

Looking to the Future

It's hard to say what the future holds for the Dragons. But one thing's for sure, this move has shaken things up. The pressure is on Griffin and the new-look team to prove themselves.

This could be the start of something special, or it could be the beginning of the end for the Dragons as we know them. Only time will tell. But one thing's for sure, this is a story that's just getting started.
