In a stunning development, the Canterbury Bulldogs are emerging as front-runners to secure the signature of star halfback Ben Hunt. According to Zero Tackle and renowned journalist Phil Rothfield, the Bulldogs are currently the only club showing serious interest in the Queensland playmaker, with talks progressing rapidly.
The potential signing would be a massive coup for Canterbury, who are keen to bolster their roster under new coach Shane Flanagan. Hunt, a proven leader and experienced half, could bring a wealth of experience to the Bulldogs’ spine and provide the stability they’ve been seeking.
But the news doesn’t stop there. It’s reported that discussions are also underway for a blockbuster player swap that could see Bulldogs’ speedster Josh Addo-Carr heading to Hunt’s current club, the Dragons. If finalized, this deal could shake up the NRL landscape, giving both teams a fresh dynamic heading into 2025.
For Flanagan, this move could be the realization of his vision for a stronger Bulldogs squad. With Hunt potentially steering the team, Canterbury fans might have a lot to look forward to next season.
