Personally as a jilted Dragons fan I'm much happier he's gone to Qld than gone to Bulldogs, as it fits the narrative of why he wanted to exit to begin with.
From an NRL perspective, there probably needs to be some market valuation rather than pure $$ assessment for salary cap*. Otherwise "big clubs" are at an advantage of attracting/retaining players for significant less than what they're worth.
*assuming the goal is every team being as equal as possible, regardless of how well managed they are
Market value cant just be determined though because a bad club will always have to pay more for a good player.
Agree on aardvarks comment that Hunt is really only worth 600k at two years. Any more than that at his age is a bad risk for the club.
Theres a slim chance its a fairytale for the broncos but realistically it could pan out very badly. Hunt has been incredibly reliable re injuries in his career but that doesnt mean a serious one isnt going to come. He could also get 6 months in and put his feet up and collect a pay check. Who knows if the hunger is really there anymore
