Guler has some talent, hopefully he can fulfil it. We desperately need him to step up, and even with him we're probably 2 props short in all honesty. He'd be on about half Frank's salary though, meaning our middle and our spine is currently not that expensive at all. To me, it seems like Flano is managing the cap to eventually go for a big name. Hope he can manage to land whoever is in mind

Canberra players always look really strong from 1-17. Their weights training must be brutal.
Sticky is an old style belt them hard and often type of coach so not surprising they are typically hard nuts.

I doubt fitness or playing minutes will be an issue fro E G and hopefully he hasn't had his attacking prowess diminished by playing lower grades last year as he does have some skill but like a lot of props with skills they have an error or 2 in them.

I think he will go ok and fingers crossed he relishes the opportunity to be a leader rather that playing behind or in the shadow of J T & J P.

I genuinely think the club were holding the spot open for a top line prop if one became available. That's why Lodge was only offered T&T so as not to lose that spot.

This Molo stuff has side-swiped us at a ridiculously bad point in our preparation. So they've gone out and got the best available right now, not knowing what will happen with Molo, and so we have a big body to throw in at the start of the season, so we can take our time with the youngsters.

This is not some tactical masterplan, it's a coach and club thinking quickly to avoid a potential disaster. No need for anyone to get too excited or too upset by what's happened.

Correct.

Let's hope it's a net gain and Gulers enthusiasm outweighs Franks experience...

Sorry, I've been a bit on the outer of late but can someone please shed some light on what Frank Molo's actual beef is? What is it related to if it's not the coach?
Or, like most things, we just don't know?

He hasn't said. There have been mental health reasons raised in the media.
That’s why it’s a bit of a strange one, because as far as everyone knows, for the first time in ages, your club is unified.

A lot of the destabilising forces have been shown the door.

And all of the fresh faces seem ready and willing to give it a go.

We’ve been approaching Galvin for an extension and he is giving us this rubbish about him “wanting to focus” on his game. Let his “manager sought it out”

Im pretty much waiting for him and a photo of Gus Gould and Ciraldo to be leaked.

He’s on 600, we’ve got two years and he’s goneski. Satan ( Moses) is managing him.

Our only hope is for Luai to suck him in for longer if the coaching staff don’t break his other knee.

Reports are that hes been training by himself.

So..... looks like hes ok mentally to play football just not with us
Like Bunt wanted to stay in Sydney..until Robbo choked and then threw up at his asking price.

This is looking to me like it’s one of biggest lends in release history.

Maybe the raiders need him?!
