How the fuck can The Broncos afford to fit him in for the rest of this season? Broncos are already on top of the table , stacked with rep players and yet they can afford to fit in a million + player for the rest of the year. Will they be expected to pay hundreds of thousands for him or whatever the stupid amount we were expected to pay for Lodge ? And if so , how can they have this money available ? It's a fucking rort if so, some clubs have to build their squads for the season , and the NRL simply allows clubs to buy players like this to buy a premiership at the business end. Broncos should be made to sign him for minimum of 12 months and balance their cap accordingly. Broncos to get him for this years tilt and then he will go to the Titans .
Are we to believe that these clubs didn't nut this out illegally during the Origin camp with Hunts manager whilst he was under contract ?

Is it a loop hole as they dont have to count his full $900k salary against their cap? So they only need to fit in $300k which is what they are paying.
but he is on 1.2 mill this year
Yep, but the Dragons have already paid about 2/3 of that and they will continue paying until Hunt is off the books. So whichever club Hunt joins, they only have to pay his remaining wages.
Exactly! But what really bothers me is how he has very obviously been talking to others and they to his management whilst contracted? Is that illegal??
it really sucks that a captain expensive player is allowed to do it imo their cap went around the signing
Things are only as legal as they can be enforced. Whose going to monitor the comms of an NRL player ( parts of it could be fun I guess, be some crazy photos).
We need to change the system to a transparent one. If a player once to leave a club they put themselves on the open market and we can all see the offers they get. It's not that hard.
Yep .. also interesting is that he wants to play 7 .. can't see the broncos moving Reynolds ?...
He will play 9 rest of the year and move to Titans next year to play 7
He will play Hooker. They'll just be able to add an Origin Hooker to their squad in time for the finals. Pisses me off that in the year we look the most likley to have a real crack that they can bolster their squad big time.
Nothing stopping us doing the same thing.
Other than the NRL you mean ? Remember , we tried doing this last year and they placed an unrealistic figure on a bloke that'd already found himself without a club AND had been paid out in full for last season.
If this goes ahead we have every right to be filthy.
