Sydney club enter race for Hunt as veteran weighs up future

1997 Former St George Illawarra Dragons captain Ben Hunt will reportedly snub any chance of a homecoming at the Brisbane Broncos as the Sydney Roosters enter the race for his signature.

The Broncos were one of a handful of clubs understood to be interested in Hunt’s signature.

The Dolphins were the other Queensland-based club believed to have the financial ability to make it happen in 2025, but News Corp are now reporting Hunt’s preference is to remain in Sydney given his family are now settled in the Harbour City.

That could see clubs like the Roosters and Canterbury Bulldogs, who have previously shown interest in Hunt, vying for his signature.

The Roosters would have been an unlikely proposition for Hunt months ago, but with Sam Walker and Brandon Smith both unlikely to feature in the first half of the 2025 campaign as they recover from respective ACL injury sustained during Round 26 of the 2024 campaign, the tri-colours are set to enter the race for the Queensland Maroons veteran per a News Corp report.

“He (Hunt) is an exceptional player and has done it for a long time,” Roosters’ coach Trent Robinson told the publication when quizzed on Hunt’s future.
