I wouldn’t get too carried away just yet in regards to the Hunt situation at Dragons. Some suggestions they might make a play for Trindall at Sharks a...

I the club were desperate to make space, they could’ve just paid him out. They could pay he & Tumeth out & they’d create a space. A club would...
