Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

What’s all this crap about the kid playing first grade next year?
I watched him in Ball a couple of times and he did nothing. I’d say he is a couple of years away at earliest.

Anyone heard about this

This bloke is just jumping on The Mole's innaccurate stories. Can't see an agreement being made about a coach who was going anyway.

Benji has made it clear that Galvin is one of his big players moving forward. He was the only junior's name he mentioned in a radio interview not long ago (after Sheens had been given the boot).

He seems to have progressed quite a bit since the 2023 SG Ball comp finished, boosting his reputation further every time he played.
He wouldn’t be the first and won’t be the last talented young player to go straight from SG Ball to NRL within 12 months.

Navren Willett on his way to the Tigers tomorrow…

Has he though?
All the write ups have centred around his efforts at schoolboys level…a level lower than Ball.

very interested to see how he fares after a preseason and a couple months in SG Ball. looks a supreme athlete but not entirely sure on his NRL prospects.

He's definitely got the body type of a modern-day winger.

To'o seems to defy that, but he's an absolute weapon.

So when are Luai and Best being announced?

 

[Lestronge]

Sounds like issac Moses

lol yep totally forgot he was his manager .

This talk has been spread around since July.

Tigers to lose 'best schoolboy' star over Sheens axing

'They are having second thoughts'

It 💯 started with McDonnell . And I was wondering what the incentive was to continue it today , but I totally forgot about Moses is his manager . Constantly undermining the system to get his guys more money / him more money . Only the elite and loyal types keep him in his place . If there’s blood in the water he will go head first for it .

Yep, sure there is a lot of club that will give him more money.

But hopefully he does not get too caught up with all that. If he puts in a huge off season no telling where he will end up.

Yes, McDonnell was a issac Moses man even though issac only gave him his off cuts.

100% we all get swept up by the hype of juniors (myself included), but all the talent in the world counts for jack if you can't make the step up to the NRL.
Not saying there's truth to the rumour but if Galvin wants to think he's entitled to a 1st grade spot because he's the next big thing, then tell him to go suck an egg.

I agree with u , u can’t just throw kids in u need a balance, I think we may well give to many kids a go all at once and it will backfire on us

Something good in the water at Taree. He's a tall bugger!

Hopefully works out.

Hopefully works out.

There for a while. 4 year deal.

I like him as a player and hole he re-signs with us.
The good news is he didn’t do anything against England to make other clubs want to be overly keen to sign him, so the less rival interest the better is is for our chances of keeping him.

Canberra and the Dogs have shown interest in him

 

[gregjm87]

I smell BS. No agreement would be contingent on Sheens being at the club.

I suspected as much. I was just shocked to be scrolling through and seeing that and thought how has this not been discussed if any truth to it.

I am sick of this signing players for the future. WE HAVE BEEN SIGNING PLAYERS FOR THE FUTURE SINCE 2011. The Tigers need NRL ready and proven players to gel this squad together. It is becoming pretty grim and we need to turn things around ASAP. I would love to see a big money big player signed in the coming days whether we see it or not I don't know fingers crossed.
I stay positive and optimistic but bit of a cash splash wouldn't hurt on a proven NRL player ....
