would love to see saints try to get tristan sailor back into the red v biggest problem being his old man, but he would solve our 5/8 and backup fullback problem.

​

If Cory Alan was not injured he would of solved a few problems we have at the moment and gave us a few more options ........ Does he come back any time this year ?????????

Dragons extend Francis Molo for two seasons​

The Dragons are pleased to announce the re-signing of front-rower Francis Molo for a further two seasons.
The new deal will keep the 29-year-old in the Red V until at least the end of the 2026 season.
“Francis is thoroughly deserving of this extension given the way he has bought into where we are going as a team,” said Dragons Head Coach Shane Flanagan.

“He has worked hard throughout the pre-season and I believe his best years are ahead of him as a player.
“I am looking forward to him playing a pivotal role in our forward pack as we continue to build the roster over the coming months.”
Molo has so far played 42 games for the Dragons since joining the club ahead of the 2022 season.

Not sure about this one , really hasn't been great for us , but then again no one has .......

Jak, when you say solve our 5/8 problem, are you saying KF is a problem? Or thinking KF will move to 7 next year and Hunt leave therefore we need a 5/8?

no i think kf is going well, but he could also be the second hooker we need.

Honestly would have thought he’d be one to move on. Yes he is a powerful prop, and we need powerful props but for a very well paid player he spends a lot of time on the sidelines for suspensions. Guess I’ll just back the coach on this one if he says he fits the vision.

Oh well

I was wrong about that

I suppose we probably could keep Francis at a fairly value $ contract these days

maybe $500k pa ?

Front rowers are at a premium right now. There aren’t many good ones on the market. Molo had a bunch of suitors. Might not set the world on fire but is a good player and hood resigning for the club. Another player that griffin handbraked during his time

I'm happy with the extension of Frank Molo's contract for another 2 years. He isn't "marquee" but he does his job the way that Flanno has him doing and he has improved his body shape and fitness and will continue to be an integral part of the squad moving forward.

 

[Parko1310]

Frank's a good player, just needs to come off the bench which he currently can't do due to our lack of stocks in the front row. If we can get to a point where he is coming off the bench for us full time, we will see how good he is

Yes reminds me a bit of Leeson AM

Yes reminds me a bit of Leeson AM

If we could develop him into a copy of lesson he would become a very valuable player exactly what we need off the bench

That’s what we have been all saying for the past 13 years!

 

[Slippery Morris]

Hopefully Flanno changes this. Flanno left the Sharks in a good state and the players stayed, not many left to join other clubs and the juniors were coming through. Price, Mary and Hook destroyed the Dragons after Wayne left.

So far all the junior teams are going well in their comps so that is a good start in a short time.

 

[St Tangles]

Every club has similar stories of favoured local clubs and nepotism etc.
Wendell may be right but he comes across as a bitter bloke.
He wanted the club to resign Tristan they didn't. They made a choice to move him on rightly or wrongly.
