So why does he want out?
Sources speaking on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter have told this masthead Molo took umbrage at an interaction with a St George Illawarra staffer. The alleged incident took place last year and did not prevent Molo from representing Samoa during the Pacific nation’s season-ending tour of England.
Molo recently stopped turning up to Dragons training, despite not being injured. It prompted the club to issue a show-cause notice, which was the focus of discussions when Molo fronted the board, flanked by his manager and a representative of the players’ association.
The parties were unable to arrive at a solution and the official line is that Molo, who switched agents since signing the contract extension, is on leave.
“We addressed the issue the club thought they had, and we’re working through it,” said his new manager, Wayde Rushton.
Asked if his client wanted out of the club, Rushton replied: “Yes. He has already asked for a release, which has been denied.”
Team Molo insists there have been no discussions with rival clubs over a landing spot should a release from the Dragons (and his deal of approximately $550,000 a season) be secured.

It was last year but then continued training this pre-season. I don't understand...
You have to read between the lines.
Molo has a new manager who will not earn a cent from Molo for 2 years.
Molo can not sign or ask for a release of a contract for 3 months after changing managers.
He is as good as gone.
