Daily Telegraph/Rothfield Francis Molo asking for release

I think that if he gets his release he'll be signing with someone 15 minutes later. Something about players trying to break contracts at this stage screams fine deal elsewhere.

If we get Molo we loose one of Hughes or King, invaluable chemistry and both still have room to improve. In terms of Molo elevating us into the contenders bracket his a fringe 8 middle or less. Money better spent elsewhere is summary.

I think your onto something. Something fishy about players when they act stupid. Means a club is in his ear
 
The old mental health Topine defence! And he's average as well. If he was any good, Dragons would have been decent. If he's first choice, he's first to blame. Pass

Why do chase front row forwards from St Merge they are only average we should go for top line forwards like Leo Thompson
 
It makes a lot of sense for the Dragons to attempt swapping Pahulu for Molo now

This looks like a completely different matter to Topine. Chalk and cheese. Molo was the tackler in a tackle that left another player dead. That stuff doesn't ever leave you.

"Queensland debutant Francis Molo plans to reach out to the Ackerman family when he feels up to it, admitting he is still burdened by the tragic death of the young footballer in 2015."

"It has been six years since Molo was suspended for eight weeks for the tackle which resulted in the death of Sunshine Coast footballer James Ackerman, but the 26-year-old is still carrying the mental scars of the incident to this day."

"There were times throughout the ordeal when Molo wanted to quit rugby league forever."

I am not for a second saying we should sign him, that is up to the club. He is clearly a troubled individual, but RL generally and the Broncos more specifically have some ownership in this. Bottom line, this is not some "mental health" cop out.

Probably to Cheatulla... seems like the sort of flog that would fit in with them.

Tbf that hasn't really stopped him belting players high when he plays

It hasn't stopped Shaun Abbott from bowling bouncers even though one he bowled resulted in the death of Phillip Hughes either. The general advice that both Molo and Abbott will have been given is that the respective deaths are freak and the worst (and extremely rare) possible outcomes. For the sake of their own mental health they are best off continuing to play the sport and trying to excel in it, as this will help reinforce the truth that the deaths were freakish and completely unintended.

That doesn't mean that it leaves them though. The knowledge that something they did resulted in someone elses death will be with them until they die.

Remember seeing replay of the incident. Very ugly Molo had no intention of wrapping his arms around the ball carrier.
