The Rumours Thread

[Jubilee]

I know that it is very early days. However, if young Flanno and Lachlan Ilias exceed expectations as a halves combination, and jell with the other spine members, DA may some competition next year for a position in the halves.

Over at Cronulla last year they played him everywhere, including lock, off the bench. But he will be the 6.

So Lodge has ended up back at Manly, initially via the NSW Cup.
Go figure

I'm guessing, Lodge told Coach Flanno that he wanted split his time between football and boxing, and Flanno told Lodge that he was not interested in a part time prop.

 

[RedV11]

We're interested in Hazleton according to Buzz

 

[InFlannoWeTrust]

This needs to get over the line. Not an “Alpha Prop” though definitely someone who never stops working. Also scores some try’s.
fingers crossed

 

[Hound of Dracula]

Been out all day - Have we officially lost F Molo?

 

[dungay dragon]

Cross fingers and toes !!

He would be a welcome addition

Just Perhaps a like for like swap with Molo for this Season
Would suit both Clubs requirements

 

[qld redvee]

Cross fingers and toes !!

He would be a welcome addition

Be even better if we get him with an immediate release seeing buzz is saying we have lost molo

 

[Desperate Dragon]

Been out all day - Have we officially lost F Molo?

Only according to Buzz.
Buzz has been reporting that he doubts that Molo will ever play for the Dragons again.
Just like the Hazelton rumour, I will believe any news about Molo and Hazelton when it is officially announced by the club.

 

[BigRedVee]

We get to release Molo and upgrade him with Hazelton. Win-win.

 

[mattw5]

Will wait for official confirmation from the club but a swap with him & Molo would be awesome sooner rather then later.

 

[BIG RIG]

Telegraph is reporting we have have signed Tom Hazelton

Easy Big Rig, buzz is reporting that Hazelton is set to knock back Newcastle and the Dolphins to sign with us. We’ve been down this path many times before and missed out last minute. Sounds promising but we all thought that with AFB and RCG. Officially sign then happy days indeed

 

[mattw5]

Please swap Molo for Lawrie for him this season

 

[RedVDave]

So Lodge has ended up back at Manly, initially via the NSW Cup.
Go figure

Did he play for both teams in the game?

 

[Pleasehelpstillchoking]

Thanks for sharing, a big difference in the report from the same “closed door” session last year. Would love to know how some of the forwards performed But no surprise Gutho was a stand out, he will prove to be one of our best signings for a number of years IMO. Can’t wait for the season to start !

I've heard that Guler went really well and young Latu, among others. Apparently our attack was very sharp.

According to Buzz we are set to sign him.

DRAGONS HOPING ON HAZELTON


St George-Illawarra are close to securing a front-rower they desperately need.


Cronulla Sharks cult hero Tom Hazleton is set to knock back the Newcastle Knights and the Dolphins to sign with the Dragons.


He is a close friend of Daniel Atkinson, another Sharks star who is headed to St George-Illawarra next season.


Hazleton is a workhorse middle forward, who, at 26, is yet to peak. He hails from Goulburn and was recommended to the Sharks by club legend Gavin Miller.


The Sharks were desperate to keep him but can’t match offers from rival clubs.


The Dragons are desperate for more front-row firepower having lost Francis Molo and missed out on a number of props who were on the open market – Reagan Campbell-Gillard, Terrell May and Addin Fonua Blake.

I hope it’s correct BUT I take anything Buzz says (& reports) with a grain of salt, not often correct I think the managers feed him stories & laugh when he publishes them. Time will tell if he has finally got one right.

 

[Phantom V]

I hope he’s right. I’d say we’re a good chance considering he won’t have to move house and also being good mates with Atkinson helps. Finally, some decent rumours on this thread

 

[Crush]

Hazelton for 2025 would be the cherry on top of the recruitment drive, we’d be looking pretty good.
