Outgoing Dragons skipper Ben Hunt has revealed he did not hear from head coach Shane Flanagan during his exit from the club nor has he heard from him since.admitted he did not want to return to training with clubAsked if it was hard to walk away from his $900,000-a-year contract, Hunt replied: “To be honest I didn’t think about it ... it wasn’t the main thing I thought about … it was just time.”
While Hunt did not hear from Flanagan at the end, he said had never had a major issue with the coach. But given Flanagan’s silence it now seems there could be a problem. “My final conversations with the club were with Ryan Webb and Ben Haran,” said Hunt when asked about the role Flanagan played in his departure.Getty Images
“I haven’t heard from Shane and I guess that says something about where things are at, but I didn’t have a drama. It got to the point where something had to happen, and it’s true. I didn’t want to go back and train with a club in the pre-season.“I knew my time was done. I feel relieved now that it’s over. I certainly feel like I put in for the club and contributed as much as I could.
