It's impossible to tell but the hype around Ciraldo was so overblown. Let's see how it all turns out over the next 5 years. Ciraldo also has Gould doing heaps of stuff as well.

Well it's fine having Gus doing heaps of stuff until he gets tired of it, or even worse, until he thinks you're looking a bit tired.

It’s not going to be as simple as giving him a big offer and him signing just like that. Someone else is going to make a big play at some point. Interesting how some teams just sit back and wait, yet we are always the first club on the scene with an offer. Really shows the club’s desperation for a marquee signing.

A WT early offer could also be setting the bar? Which I guess is what you’re eluding to?

Agree he has been an amazing player, but he is currently the 4th best fullback in Australia, 5th best when Turbo is fit. It was a disgrace he was picked for Australia in our latest failed campaign.

That’s another story. I simply disputed that he’s not good under a high ball. He’s always been great. All great fullbacks drop one here or there.

You can be sure the dogs and dragons are also in discussions with him and his agent, yet there is zero mention of this in the media. As usual.

Brent Read's column today had a tidbit about Canterbury wanting to have a crack, but Gus is weary of going too high salary-wise given their clear lack of quality in terms of middle forwards. the Dogs are appealing to him though given Ciraldo, Burton, Crichton and Kikau are all there, plus Laundy's "investment advice".

I like the way Marshall plays a straight bat when it comes to recruitment. I am enjoying silence from our club and any rumours about signings must be emanating from other sources. Now that is a big improvement on where we were previously.

I think they are some very valid points, with every deal theres multiple parties involved, other clubs including the parent club . Agents possible 3rd parities, i know our club has leaked like a sieve for many years so theres always that doubt. But the jurno's never miss a chance to put the laces through us and that pod above was actually suggesting otherwise, so they would know where their info is coming from.

Correct me if I’m wrong but if an offer was presented yesterday and signed on the dot. The earliest we would be hearing of his signing for 25 is Thursday week due to the new contract laws?

It wouldn’t have been though. A few more clubs will throw their hats in the ring before all is said and done.

Apparently he’s told his teammates that they’ll know his plans by 8th Dec. so I’m wondering if he signed with us yesterday and has to wait that period before he can announce.

No way you swap Galvin.

Yeah i dunno depends on how desperate we are to get him over. Galvin seems like a fine talent but he's not guaranteed success or even to make it. There's plenty of debate as to whether he's even a half and then you add Fainu and Sullivan on 4 yr deals and Large also coming through in a few years. Put it this way despite what was said about Benji loving Galvin if he loves Luai more you just never know. But if we did do it you can pretty much rubber stamp the kid as a future superstar 🤣
