Don't be surprised if Micheal Molo - whose brother Francis quit the Dragons in far from happy circumstances recently - is also on the move from the club. Michael, a bruising 28-year-old prop, is in an awkward position after Francis' fiery exit and is off contract at the end of the season. After playing 19 games for the Dragons in 2023, Michael made just four appearances last year but has been attracting interest from Super League clubs.
Wade Graham's retirement from rugby league may go down as one of the shortest on record.Graham was chaired from the field after his last game for the Sharks in the loss to the Roosters a little over a week ago.But Wide World of Sports has learned the 32-year-old veteran of nearly 300 NRL games has attracted the attention of several Super League clubs for 2024.French-based Catalans are known to be interested in Graham, along with several struggling British clubs.No formal talks have begun - the clubs want to give Graham time to rest his mind and body after his emotional departure from the NRL.Graham may have reached the stage where he is struggling to keep up with the younger forwards in Australia, but with his experience, professionalism and ball-playing skills he could easily do another couple of seasons in the slower Super League.But the popular former NSW Origin and Kangaroos representative will have a lot to weigh up if an offer comes his way - he has a young family and a media gig as well as several other business opportunities in Sydney.
Former New Zealand and Samoa Test forward Herman Ese'ese is set to move to England next season.A tough 28-year-old prop or lock who has played with the Canterbury Bulldogs, Brisbane Broncos, Newcastle Knights and Gold Coast Titans, Ese'ese joined the Dolphins this year for their inaugural season and has played 14 games for the club, enjoying some success.But the lure of a three or four year deal in Super League is likely to see him sign with a Super League club in coming weeks.At least three clubs are interested in Ese'ese, who has over 120 NRL games to his credit.Born in Auckland, the rugged prop is the nephew of Kiwis legend Ali Lauiti'iti.
Former Rabbitohs and Broncos coach Anthony Seibold could be making a return to rugby league - with English club Hull KR.Currently a member of Eddie Jones' England rugby union coaching team, Seibold is on a list of possible coaches for the Super League club.Fellow Aussie Tony Smith is coming off contract at the end of the season and Hull KR officials are considering a change of direction, with Seibold high on their wish list.The team is currently in seventh spot on the 12- team ladder with four wins and four losses.Seibold has had a roller coaster ride in his brief time in the NRL. He was named Dally M coach of the year in his debut season in 2018 but then switched to Brisbane, where things went pear-shaped and his contract was terminated mid-way through his second season.Seibold has done good work with Jones and the England rugby team but may be tempted to make a return to league.
