Tim Moltzen signs with the Dragons

@biggest tigers fan said:
The good news is is he wont be fb next year and the bad news is how will benji take this?

Spot on.

I think Benji may have known for a while though - it would explain his anger in a few games earlier.

They have to suck it up, this is a professional sport.
 
The latest in a seemingly endless line of player offloads for next season. Hope we sign someone soon or we may not have a team to field next year. Wonder if five players can play seventeen positions…

This is a great day I'm feeling really confident about tonight now.

I am not going to miss his pea-hearted displays "attacking" the football

But he knows the Benji Marshall secret handshake…
 
Yeah as far as I can see we've lost
Gibbs, Fifita, Moltzen, McKinnon and Payten for sure…
Fulton has been told he can look,
Heighno and Ryan are strongly linked with Panthers
Heard Lui could be on his way to the Broncs
and dwyer could have a career ending injury... who's left for goodness sake?!

Mitch Brown can't be our first string fullback next year... maybe the Dugan rumour is true?
Blair must be getting announced soon tho - we'd hope!

It is a strange one.

It is a loss in terms of him being skilfull player.

It is not a loss in the respect that he is not a great fit for the Tigers IMHO. We need a halfback who plays structured and his time at fullback speaks for itself.

Its hard to see where he will start unless Hornby moves on.

Tagive & Nightingale are better wingers, K. Stanley is a better fullback, C. Stanley, M Cooper & M Gasnier are infinitley better centres and Soward and Hornby are miles ahead in the halves

Im with you…with all that talent in front of him at Saints,Moltzen has almost certainly resigned from NRL & consigned himself to a year or two playing for the Shellharbour Seagulls or whatever they are,along with Gower & Tagive(who may get his chance next yr,which will be his third with Saints,if they play Nightingale at F/B)
If I was a young bloke with a bit of talent & backed myself, Id join a competitive team where there is a real possibility of playing 1sts,which is highly unlikely with Saints...
Crazy
BTW...Im surprised Dragons chased him at all based on his form this season.
As for Tigers,we'll hopefully have two legitimate no7s next season in Lui & Miller,so Moltzen was superfluous...tho I wld like to have seen him have a decent run in the no 7 to compare with Lui
 
No loss, at this point Moltzen has not recovered his confidence after his shocking injury last year.

He may come back renewed with the Dragons but the bottom line is he didn't fit into our plans or structure.

Either Lui (if he stays) or Miller is a better option and a few years down the track we will have players like Billy Kitt so unfortunately for Moltzen it was time to move on.

Good luck Tim, you'll need it !
 
I wonder what dollars he will be on with the Steelers and whether Benji will let him be his new roommate

On that note, maybe Benji could pitch a new reality show ' Benji's BFF' where different people audition to be his new roomie and BFF. It worked for Paris Hilton
 
Good luck to the young feller, hope he does well at his new club except for when he plays the Tigers.
Would have liked to have seen him get more time at halfback this year,at least he can make some tackles.
 
Another one has jumped ship and their will be a few more in the next few weeks. Its funny how things can change so quickly. The day we resigned Sheens was the day this all had to happen, the players were getting stale with Sheens and Sheens was getting stale with the players. I think it would have been easier to change coaches but all the doom and gloom will go out the window if they manage to secure three top notch signings or at least two and that should happen. Liked moltzen and i think he copped more than his fair share of criticism on these boards
 
Congrats Molts,

My Dad is a massive dragons fan who told me last your that he would love to have you in Red and White.

Hope you play awesome for all but two games next year.

Yeah that's right, the people running the club are so incompetent they haven't realised we're only going to have 8 players next season. We're going to be $2m under the salary cap, which is good news, but this will be our team:

1) Whichever is the fastest kid in the half-time sprint
2) Tuqiri
3) Ayshford
4) Lawrence
5) The mascot
6) Marshall
7) Miller
8) Galloway
9) Farah
10) The nice lady at the club who sorted out my membership package when it was late.
11) Blair
12) Sheens
13) No-one

14) The biker dude who does the scoreboard at Leichhardt
15) Me
16) The bloke who does the meat raffle at the Red Lion
17) Skandalis
 
Win / win for all parties involved IMO. Best for the Tigers, best for Moltz.

Might as well drop him. Not much sense playing him in firsts, he's down on form and not here beyond this season.

HAHAHAHAHA

I LOVE IT
 
All these players leaving and not a mention of one player signing. They would want hurry up and make an announcement soon before their members jump ship as well. The only thing to come out of all these departures is that I now know Humphrey's is a hopeless liar."Moltzen's staying", yeh sure !
 
Terrible decision by humphries, and he is looking like a fool, he is better off saying no comment instead of saying the rubbish he has been saying
