Ben Hunt is expected to make a decision on his playing future as soon as this week, after Canterbury withdrew their interest in the star halfback. The race to sign Hunt officially became a race between three NRL clubs on Sunday, with Canterbury pulling out and backing their own No.7 Toby Sexton. That has left the Sydney Roosters, Dolphins and Brisbane as the three interested NRL parties, while a club from the English Super League has also made an offer.
A move to hooker could also be on the cards long term, with uncertainty over the off-contract Brandon Smith’s future at the Roosters. Hunt has spoken about the romanticism of returning to his junior club, and the lure of trying to win a title with Brisbane after the 2015 grand-final loss. The Broncos had a horror season this year, but their run to the 2023 grand final still looms as a reminder of what is possible with that squad. The Dolphins, meanwhile, are something of the unknown.
