More news on the Ben Hunt saga...

The Dolphins have attempted to blow the Broncos, Bulldogs and Roosters out of the water by tabling a $1.4 million deal in a last-ditch bid to lure Ben Hunt to Redcliffe.
But the Broncos have upped the ante, with Brisbane set to dangle an additional carrot – a job after football – as the bidding war for the former Dragons skipper intensifies.

It has been reported that the Dolphins are the highest bidder in a four-way race for Hunt’s signature, turning up the heat on the Roosters, Bulldogs and Broncos with their attractive two-year package.

Their offer, believed to be around $800,000 for 2025 and $600,000 for 2026, would be palatable to NRL salary-cap auditors, who must authorise any deal put forward by Hunt’s prospective club.

Despite the Dolphins’ offer, well-placed sources say the Broncos are in the box seat to bring Hunt home, with their two-year package estimated to be worth around $1.1 million.

While that’s $300,000 shy of the Dolphins deal, it’s understood Brisbane will also discuss post-football employment for Hunt, who owns property in Brisbane and Byron Bay and has spoken of his desire to return to Queensland.

Kind regards
