Ben Hunt became the whipping boy as the Dragons slid down the NRL ladder in 2018. But not many critics knew of the personal tragedy he suffered early in the season. Hunt’s wife Bridget recently took to social media to reveal she’d suffered a miscarriage soon after the Dragons’ victory over the Broncos in Round 1. “2018 has been filled with a multitude of challenges for our family,” Bridget posted on Instagram earlier this month. “In feb we were excited to be announcing that our family was growing by 2 feet, however unfortunately miscarried at 12 weeks.
“It’s always hard in those situations to think, what could I have done differently? What did I do wrong, what it was that I did to impact the result? “Sometimes, things are just meant to be — and it was hard to focus on the positives when you are experiencing emotions of grief, sadness, loneliness and so many questions that no one had the answers to.” In the first year of his marquee Dragons deal, Hunt was the scapegoat for the club’s late season fadeout and copped social media heat that got so bad Bridget publicly hit out at the “despicable bullying”. “Words have meaning! You may not think they affect the person, but they have meaning!” she posted on Instagram.
