Ben Hunt has signed a two-year deal with Brisbane after making a tough decision on his NRL future.

The 26-year-old has made a stunning decision after weighing up swapping Melbourne for Sydney.

The pioneers were nowhere to be seen when the NRL launched the 2025 edition on Wednesday - but there was a reason why.

The 25-year-old was told to find a new home just six months after the Roosters gave him a contract extension.

The former Kangaroo and NSW Origin star, sacked by Canterbury over his drug-driving scandal, has held talks with a high-profile club.

The 26-year-old was embroiled in controversy for a post on Melbourne Cup Day.

The 21-year-old is now due to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court just before Christmas.

The Sydney captain has had a whirlwind year and with speculation the Roosters might be looking for a new fullback James Tedesco revealed what lies ahead for him.

The league is reportedly considering a tweak to the way the game is played that will rile traditionalists.
