BEN Hunt is one of the NRL’s highest paid players, but at the moment his numbers just don’t stack up.

The pricetag that came with his $6 million move to St George Illawarra this year had plenty of pundits raising their eyebrows.

And those doubters will be wringing their hands when they see this stunning — and perhaps embarrassing — stat from the Dragons’ massive Round 22 loss to Parramatta.

Round 20

The Red V were walked all over by the Eels, losing 40-4 to a side that could still claim the competition’s wooden spoon this year.

And Hunt’s numbers leave a lot to be desired.

The Origin halfback did not run the ball once, according to Fox Sports Lab.

That’s zero runs, for zero metres gained, in what was a day to forget for the man earning about $1.2 million a year to play footy.

Hunt also missed a game-high six tackles, had an error, and missed his only conversion attempt.

In the second half he bizarrely left an Eels grubber alone to allow Clint Gutherson to score a try.

To his credit Hunt did assist in the team’s only try.

Still, for a playmaker on that sort of coin the Dragons will rely on Hunt to pull them out of the form slump they currently find themselves in.

Hunt’s halves partner Gareth Widdop also registered zero runs for zero metres, and missed three tackles.

Widdop was only on the field for 27 minutes before injuring his shoulder, an injury that has put the remainder of his season in jeopardy.

And with Widdop in the casualty ward, the weight of the Dragons’ attack now falls completely on Hunt’s shoulders.

And if he continues to throw up the kind of numbers he produced on Saturday, the club won’t be sticking around too long in September.
