Dolphins fans oppose signing Francis Molo over ethics

Dolphins fans are upset over the club's plans to sign NRL player Francis Molo. Molo was involved in a tragic incident in 2015 that led to the death of James Ackerman, a beloved former player for the Dolphins. Fans feel that bringing Molo to the team is disrespectful to Ackerman's memory. Molo, 30, is expected to leave the St. George Illawarra Dragons after resolving a legal issue regarding unpaid wages. His tackle on Ackerman caused severe injury, which ultimately led to Ackerman's death. The Queensland Rugby League banned Molo for eight games following the incident. Some Dolphins supporters expressed their outrage on social media, criticizing the club's decision. One fan said it shows a lack of morals, while another claimed they would stop supporting the team. However, a few fans defended Molo, saying accidents happen and the team needs strong players. In addition to the Ackerman incident, Molo has faced legal troubles, including charges related to stalking in 2022. He received a two-game NRL suspension for the domestic violence charge and was fined. Molo's manager insists that the move to the Dolphins is not financially motivated but is about fitting in with the coaching staff and the team. The Dolphins are looking to strengthen their squad after recent player losses.
