…..It’s amazing how they call everyone a former ‘ legend’; talk about over used. Raper, Langlands Gasnier …. sure, but they use the word for click bate for anyone that’s got a comment - its laughable.

Forum icon @Gareth67 is a former LU legend!

Took some punishing hit ups during Mary’s last 2 seasons.

I see Mary is back leaving his footprints all over the club.


Never say never Gareth, I hope you’ve still got your boots and lightbulbs!

Yeah and give me Blocker Roach any time. His favorite word is "Outstanding". Still calls us "the Saints" LOL.

I am probably alone in this but I hate it that they call themselves the "Rabbitohs" and get shirty at being called the rabbits/bunnies. That emblem on their jersey is not some bloke with a brace of dead rabbits on a hook. It's a rabbit.

Trade Molo for a Bronco prop or release him at a cost to him. Then pay for two good props from ESL.

I imagine we are always scouting Super League. Or we should be.

What? What’s Mary getting up to?

If Frank Molo is agitating to take up an offer from another club, fine, no problem he can go, provided Coach Flanno selects the exchange player from the respective club, and we receive any other compensation deemed necessary by Flanno to account for inconvenience caused to the Dragons preparation.

What? What’s Mary getting up to?

He’s mentioned by Cook or Gutho in the captaincy interviews as being present when Flanno bestowed the honour.

He might have handed over the badge or whatever they get.

But it’s a solemn and historic occasion and Uncle Fester was at the heart of the proceedings.

On the day he was sacked, the only certainly was a return in some capacity. This was one of the general insights by the panel here.

This is just before everyone re-iterated that adverse comments were in humour so we wouldn’t get sued.

And so too, I don’t think Albert’s days in the Sun are over, despite him putting the good name of the club on the line for his mate.

Some lines must never be crossed.

Re Molo, what I personally find a bit bizarre is that he now wants a release. I don't know his situation. I'm not going to draw conclusions. But asking for extended leave for mental health AND asking for a release is a bit strange, isn't it? Sounds like Ben a bit but ofc I'm not assuming that it's the same situation. I'll give Frank the benefit of the doubt unless proven otherwise

Was exactly my thoughts. If it’s genuinely mental health issues you take paid leave and seek help surely.

It is funny how often players will sign a two year contract and then six months later they want out. F. Molo resigned for two years last April. Hunt also pulled this stunt.

Could it be that a player might sign a contract "just in case" with the idea that contracts are toilet paper if you put on enough of a tantrum?

There needs to be specified penalty clauses for failing to complete a contract. This kind of thing is very unsettling and inconvenient for us while a player can do a backflip, tell a sad story, and not drop a dollar.

I hope he hasn't gone down that path, beacuse if that's what Frank is thinking, with due respect to him, he needs to reassess how valuable he actually is to most teams. Ben Hunt agitated to a disgusting extent and even though all of US knew he wasn't a halfback nor a captain, he was able to attract plenty attention from multiple other clubs because there's no doubt he is a talented player, irrespective of our reservations of him. Molo does not have the same bargaining power at all and in my opinion was very lucky he got re-signed in the first place.

I’d think there are consequences, but Flanno doesn’t want a whinger.

You’re part of the club or you’re nothing as far as Flanno is concerned.

I think keeping Bunt on for so long (for no good reason) taught Flanno and the club a few harsh lessons and they’ve toughened up.

I know us tigers fans were shocked you kept him. I’d guess there was a civil war going on about him that was kept under wraps. Wasn’t he getting booed at home?

A player wants to be cretin, get rid of him. Molo is another piker.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

When players abandon their posts, they could have a white feather stitched into their new jersey. Put their cowardice on display to be ridiculed. They’ll soon stop it.

On one hand, there are seventeen teams and only so much talent. On the other hand, Molo is no barstorming offloader. But who knows? Maybe he is having real problems.

Very true, mate. And that's why if your last sentence is true I hope he takes as much time off as he needs beacuse that shits no joke

I remember we signed Corey Payne and then a few weeks later you signed Jarrod Saffy from us. I told my Saints supporting mate at the time 'You have no idea how much you won this trade.'

I'd watched Saffy from his first trial after we signed him from union. He was very raw, but you could tell by his frame, athleticism and most importantly physicality he was going to make it in league. Its just a shame it wasnt with us.

Nathan Lawson I think will replicate and better the Saffy's signing from Yawnion......we as Dragons fans will just have to be patient as we were with Mick O'Conner.

Behind Slippery Stevie Morris, Blacklock, and Walford he was my fave. FCKU manly for stealing him from us, it broke my heart once again at the time.
