NRL: St George Illawarra have granted captain Ben Hunt permission to begin negotiating with rival clubs immediately.
It’s been 14 years since he last featured in the NRL, but former Knights playmaker Ryan Stig is gunning to make a return to first grade.
However, his career was halted by Lyme’s disease in 2012, a potentially fatal condition that is caused by the bite of a tick carrying a harmful bacteria.Stig took time away from the game before returning to football in 2024, playing two reserve grade games for the Knights, revealing to “I was blind in one eye, my nervous system was shot, as well as my immune system - there may have even been some brain damage.”
Sitg, doing his own research, then wound up in Mexico, Switzerland and Germany, having “hyperthermia treatment” that proved to be the “turning point”.
