Ben Hunt is the red-hot favourite to win the Dally M on Wednesday, but the Dragons skipper fears a Cronulla rival might pip him.
Ben Hunt is the raging favourite for the Dally M Medal on Wednesday night, but the Dragons’ halfback quickly nominated a Cronulla rival to pip him for the game’s most prestigious gong.
“I’d love to win it. It would mean the world. It’s a team sport, and you’d rather win a premiership, but at the end of the day you’re always striving to be your best, and just to be mentioned among the guys who have won it in the past, it’s something I’d cherish for the rest of my life.Even Tommy ‘Turbo’ [Trbojevic] winning by a country mile last year
Hunt was on 19 points when voting went behind closed doors after round 12, two clear of Penrith’s Isaah Yeo, with Hynes three away on 16 votes. Sydney Roosters skipper James Tedesco and Panthers fullback Dylan Edwards are the only other realistic Dally M contenders. Hunt will wear the No. 9 jersey for the Prime Minister’s XIII on Sunday night against Papua New Guinea, and while he loves playing halfback and would love to wear the No. 7 on the representative arena, is happy to play anywhere if it means he is on the plane to England for the World Cup.
