Tim Moltzen ... (war is over)

[Mr Red]

We've put the cart before the horse here, as we don't really have a lot of strike out wide to make breaks. Should've gone after a quality centre instead.

should have gone for a half back.

 

[Drain the Dragon]

This Moltzen is a mad support player just what we need.

Problem is who's gonna be slipping him the passes?

 

[madunit]

:lol: ....madunit having a cry coz I said if true, I hope getting him back costs you 1 Chris Lawrence. But.....that deal isn't fair, waaaaaa!

If rumour turns out to be true, I hope Dragons certainly say no unless they get the better deal.

Cry? lol, talk yourself up tool. I just clearly and bluntly called you an idiot for making the dopey suggestion.

Saying we should lose a far better player because one sook doesn't want to leave the club is not fair on the other player. You wouldn't agree to that if it was the other way around.

In fact, the whole notion is beyond stupid. Its utterly moronic.

I'm not surprised someone as f**ked in the head as you actually typed it up, thinking to yourself 'that makes sense and thats a good idea'

muppet.

Fair enough we'll see, maybe King maybe Style it certainly wont be Gaz.;-)

Very disappointing if true. Sounds like the Tigers know they made a mistake especially now that Lui is out the door and they trying to convince him to stay with his "mates".

Very bad news for the Dragons, picked him up at a good price, and now with very little time to secure another replacement.

Wests Tigers utility Tim Moltzen could remain at the NRL club next season after seeking a release from his deal to join St George Illawarra.
Tigers officials will meet with Moltzen's manager Martin Tauber on Wednesday afternoon to discuss the possibility of him staying.
Tauber admitted he was in the dark about the full extent of the situation having just returned from overseas.

"I only got back from New York yesterday afternoon and to be honest, I have no idea what it is all about," Tauber told AAP.
"I've got a meeting with the Tigers today and that's when I will know exactly what is going on.
"He has definitely signed with the Dragons, but now there is talk of a release so I am now off to find out more."
Moltzen agreed to a three-year contract with the Dragons in July in a move that started a war of words between the joint ventures.
The decision to offload him upset many of the Tigers' playing group, with star five-eighth and Moltzen's housemate Benji Marshall, particularly outraged.
At the time, Tigers chief executive Stephen Humphreys accused the Dragons of being arrogant and disrespectful, claiming they announced the signing without his club's knowledge.
Dragons' chief executive Peter Doust hit back, saying they were bemused at the comments and that they had acted in good faith.
The Tigers had seen Robert Lui as their long-term halfback.
However, the 20-year looks set to be shown the door following an alleged assault on his partner after the club's mad Monday celebrations.
His departure would see the club without a recognised, experienced halfback on their books.
Officials from the Dragons and the Tigers were unavailable for comment.

 

[Mr Red]

let him leave if he doesnt want to be there...

i would make a play for Robert Lui instead - we need a halfback

 

[getsmarty]

If he wants out..seek compensation from the tigers... A contract is a contract. In saying that..don't want him @ the Dragons if he doesn't want to be here.

 

[Drain the Dragon]

Time for a bit of perspective.

Is he a rep player in the class of Boyd? - Nope
Is he someone we want at our club if he wants to renege after signing a contract? - Nope
Do we have other options at fullback/halfback? - Yep

Let him walk if he wants, life goes on.....

[Drain the Dragon]

Apparently it might now be Benji

 

[big pat]

when evander cummins comes through and shows his talent, it will be tim who?

 

[greeny12]

Is anyone really that bothered??... Low act from the Tigers... but thats the modern game.

 

[big pat]

do we really need 2 threads on some guy who might renege on his contract.

 

[Mr Red]

do we really need 2 threads on some guy who might renege on his contract.

good point, i will start a third...

The sooner the IC gets in and sorts out the shambles that is player and official contracts in the NRL the better. I know a draft is not realistic in a market where we also compete with Union and overseas League, but surely the regular mid season turmoil and crap like this needs to be reigned in.

perhaps a mid season transfer window and an end of season transfer window - like the english premier league?
at least that way there is some control, and that way if a player is unhappy he doesnt have to wait a whole season to leave the club?
if a team gets an injury to a key position they have the ability to recruit someone in?

 

[Bring back choc]

If he has signed then the dragons don't have to do anything. Hes ours. Hell get over it.
It's not like he'll play bad because he's unhappy. Honestly. Dragons should tell tigers to go and get FARKED

 

[Breathingfire]

You guys are kidding???? He was the form fullback of the competition towards the back end of the year. He outplayed Boyd in both match ups. He will be a huge loss if he ends up at the Tigers. I can understand why people are filthy but it doesn't make him less of a player on the field.

 

[grouch]

We should do to him what we did to Tallis. Cos f*ck him, thats why
