St George Illawarra Dragons star Ben Hunt is set to request a release from the club, despite the signing of Shane Flanagan as the new head coach. 9News
The shock report came just hours after Flanagan said he would not let his captain break his contract early to join a rival club."Well, from a club's perspective Ben Hunt will be there," Flanagan told 2GB's"He's got a contract, I spoke to Ben before I actually signed because I didn't want to obviously become the Dragons coach and then our halfback wanting out of the club, and he was fine with all that if I was to get the job.
"But from the club's perspective, he's our captain, he's our halfback and we need him, I won't be letting him go anywhere." Hunt has played 116 games for the Dragons since joining the club from the Broncos for the start of the 2018 season.
