Seems certain Frank Molo is gone. What happened? Surely there is no way any other club is going to pay him what the Dragons were going to be paying him for this year and next. Not if reports about how much he is on are true.
 
Now maybe we have that prop who can play the 1st 20 min and at the very least place our pack on an equal footing with those top 8 teams. Ive always liked this bloke, he will be 28 yrs old, 6'3" tall, about 112kg, so in theory about to hit his prime age for that position. He has had limited opportunities with the Raiders so stats won't mean much because of his time on the park, only played 11 games last season but avg 8.5 runs and 95m per game. Now if we can get him more time on the park and increase his workrate carries to say 12 per game then on avgs he will make about 130m per game. Exactly what we need fingers crossed

Guler 118 ARM for Ressies. Prob given more mins than for Firsts. Has plenty to prove to us. Yes one more bookend jodragon.
Averaging 118 ARM in Ressies? That's just terrible. Instead Flanno should have swallowed his pride and got in touch with Josh Coric's management. Then again, hopefully Flanno saw something in him that makes him think he can get much more out of Guler. He might be good to charge in and take the hits in the first 10 min and then hand over to smaller, faster middle forwards with a bit of footwork and more skills like the Couchmans.

That would be the plan.

I'm sure he has a plan. Just saying the stats RedVHeartbeat RedVHeartbeat shared aren't good but
I can see another "Liddle" happening here , change of club , good leaders to keep him on his toes .......... Good signing for me ........
Liddle was also poor at the Tigers but has come good so lets give it 2 months and we'll get a much better idea.

This was posted on Facebook not sure if it's true or not

For those who are wondering about the Molo situation.

Molo fronted the board yesterday with his manager and an RLPA Member no resolution was reached. Sources speaking under the condition of anonymity have claimed Molo has taken umbrage with a Dragons staffer which prompted a release request. The request was denied by the club. He refused to train following this break down which is why the club gave him a show cause notice which has now began this story.

So far the situation is Molo has NOT withdrawn his request for a release and the Dragons are holding firm which means no resolution.

It appears Emre Gular was signed with the Intention of being part of the squad with Molo. If the Dragons do decide to release Molo they will need to sign a replacement. Gular was not signed with the intention to replace Molo.

So it appears the claim was correct. Molo does not have any mental health issues it’s the new thing players are using to get out of contracts. He is also trying the “refuse to train” stunt which got Hunt out of his contract. It does not appear Molo has an issue with any of the players or Flanagan or where the club is going or has a better offer on the table it’s purely an issue with this staff member. Hopefully the relationship between Molo and the staffer can be resolved or they can just move forward for the betterment of the club.
