"He is open to all offers": Hunt's manager confirms veteran open to UK Super League move

SEN’s Ben Davis has confirmed that Ben Hunt is happy to entertain any and all offers including a move to the UK Super League.

After a turbulent end to the 2024 season, the St George Illawarra Dragons confirmed on Wednesday morning that the two parties have mutually agreed to a termination of Hunt’s contract.

Hunt had one year remaining on his contract with the Dragons worth an estimated $950k but the relationship between the veteran playmaker and the club had waned.

Davis confirmed with Hunt’s manager Cole Davis that the 34-year-old is open to any offers including from overseas clubs.

“What now for Ben Hunt? I have been on the phone with Hunt’s manager,” Davis said on SENQ.

“This all happened in the last 48 hours. Both parties shook hands, walked away, called it a draw and they are all happy.

“The Dragons can now move one and get on with the business of playing rugby league and administering a rugby league team.

“Is Ben Hunt looking to come home (to Queensland)? Is he open to all offers? Including Super League?

“The answer is yes, yes and yes. The only thing he won’t entertain is a switch to rugby.

“He is open to all offers. Ideally he would like to come home but could stay in Sydney and even find himself in England.

“Hunt has a week off from Kangaroos camp. Phone calls will be made in earnest and they will get to work straight away.”

The Daily Telegraph’s Michael Carayannis told SEN that the Dolphins are the front runners in the NRL to acquire Hunt for 2025.
