Last year with his injury I thought maybe it was time for him to move on but he has really come good this year. Some of the boys in the lower grades need another year in NSW cup and Frank is contracted to the end of next year so if he stays it probably all works out well.

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't see Frank as the type of person to move his family and go to the ESL so he might just see out his contract and maybe there's a role for him at the club after footy.

And Hokko?
Yes .....This.
Cranky Frankie was one of the Dogs best vs Raiders and should be retained for one last hurrah. Please someone buy She-Rex.
Tank is also a great influence around the club on the younger players.
Also better keep M'Bye and see ya later Hodko.

Frankie has re-invented himself this year, he is full of running and breaks tackles far more than most of our other forwards.

If he was willing to stay for depth and as a mentor for the younger blokes we have like Danny, Herman, David and Shaun it would be absolutely massive.

His use off the bench as an impact player and his efforts in the games he has started this year have been a godsend at times for us. He can run a good angle and as some have mentioned his combo with Moses has been terrific.
He may be one of the elder statesman of the league but one more year is truly not beyond him.

Frank is our biggest impact player. Along with Kas, he is able to set up tries with deft passing through a break. He would be more devastating if we had a team that followed up line breaks.

I can assure you that Frank does not want to leave.
The club is trying to offload him even with 1 year to go on his contract

Maybe if the club didn't blow stupid Money on Kas we could keep frank for the extra year.

As great as Frank and has been in the Blue & White I'd rather the club let him go a year too early then have kept him a year too late and have him linger in and out of the team and just make up numbers. If franks does stay I wouldn't be unhappy.. One of the better club men and characters.

Is it possible we are trying to offload him because were paying for folau? Its purely speculation, but its also not like hasler to push out a player before his contract is over especially when hes doing fine.

Im almost 100% sure were freeing the cap for someone big next year.. My money is on folau, bmoz to wing, perret franky and hodko to go

Almost 100% sure ay.... what makes you so sure? You have so many posts regarding Dogs chasing Folau, you are dreaming kid. Who even are you?

You would have to offload Trex,Pritchard & Kasiano for Folau.

Then you need to offload someone else to retain Klemmer,Jackson & Mbye

Folau won't be back in NRL. Even if he did it won't be till 2017.
Ditto Beale.

Pritchard is at the core of our islander players and holds a lot of them together (so to speak). Push out Frankie and we risk losing others.

Not to mention he's in brilliant form this year.

Would be very disappointing if true frankie has really stepped it up this year
