Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Would not be Galvin, may be his manager Isaac Moses but not Galvin - held in very high regard by Benji.

could be galvin or his manager - one or both of them are looking for a release.

i agree with @GNR4LIFE - luai is a winner. we've landed a big fish.

nothing is coming out of the club around this
0 mail about if he has made a decision
but again the dogs have at this stage not made an offer , contrary to whats been reported

galvin is locked in, no one is agitating for anything, his path to first grade at every club would be the same at the moment, he is a campbelltown local

 

[Ecto-1]

Out of interest why do you think Galvin leaves, why not Latu Fainu or Bud Sullivan???

Galvin could end up being Luai's halves partner. He may want to continues to progress with his Wests mates.

Hi All,

the mail has stayed the same with Jerome
dogs are looking to offload RFM and JAC to sign him and a middle

the relationships with ciraldo / critta / burton / kikau / salmon are all too strong especially when a longer deal is at play

still more to play out / no offer has been formally made by the dogs

If we get him I reckon after a year or two a team will be desperate for a half and Sullivan will transfer.

Hell yeah

Thanks man

Made my night

After @ConePuncher ruined it lol

@kade7 what’s the atmosphere like with Richo around and thoughts on Fulton staying around?

You’re always going to back the coach, Especially publicly.

Like the last regime didn’t (constantly )😂

I'm unsure why Galvin would leave, tigers want luai for half back and Galvin wants to play 5/8. I agree if it's true then it's that grub Isaac moses

 

[rugbygoated]

I saw Brian To'o's dad this week and just by the look in his eyes I could tell Luai has signed for the Bulldogs

So don’t expect a Luai announcement tomorrow?

Sides are pretty evenly matched for talent.
I’d say NSW contains slightly more.
No such thing as a dead rubber.

Let’s just agree to disagree 😂

Miksrl gets his info from forums. Half his posts are a complete copy of forum posts from earlier in the day.

Would have been a post based on O.G Rozelles post

For starters, nowhere have I said that Benji should not be involved. He should present the final recommendation from the football department to the CEO. The CEO then discusses with the board, presenting pathways to get the deal done. The board approve a way forward and the CEO either gets the deal done or rejects it officially. The CEO does not make recommendations of players to the coach, he simply approves or rejects the offering of a contract and aids with negotiations.

you’ll find Richo considers himself a student of the game (since he was an 7 y.o) and won’t be afraid to be involved in football. Something I’m fine with because he has many runs on the Board. Beats someone who involves themselves in football but pretends they don’t when they stuff up.

Pretty sure Miksrl is a 'her'. I don't think she would post something & reply to all the comments if she was not confident in her source otherwise she is going to cop an absolute smashing if wrong.

Maybe, but it’s a social media page. The main goal is to get eyes on the page.

The comment about info from forums is just a trend I’ve noticed with their posts. Could be a coincidence, might not be. Just an observation.

 

[BAGNF05]

Time will tell. He did say yesterday he has never spoken to Fulton.

Was brought in by tweedle dee and tweedle dumb. And Benji is off him. Can’t see how he stays.

 

[BAGNF05]

Don’t know how many times I’ve seen that corrected - that and he sacked Potter…
You’d swear people only read their own posts…

He cocked everything else up, easy assumption to make when he clung on for nearly a decade.

Yeah but strange to post something before it happens. No one really knows what luai is going to do, except for luai and he's entitled to change his mind.

 

[BAGNF05]

I don't think we were ever getting AFB or Luai. We're not an appealing club for the best players. I'm guessing Richardson withdrew offer because he wants to stop us looking so scattershot, desperate and hopeless in our approach. We've literally targeted and not got all of the major free agents over the last few years. Being a bit more judicious about who we target can't hurt.

He said this exact thing in the pod with Graham. Thinks you really need to build out the middle of your squad (players 6-20) then the “cream on top” will want to come. Fair point.

 

[BAGNF05]

It’s funny that the Tigers and Dogs both ‘withdrew’ the offer they had for AFB, more likely they knew he was a done deal somewhere else and didn’t want to look like they were rejected by him

We literally have a NSW prop and a guy who could still compete at origin level. Spending another million in that position was crazy talk.

 

[BAGNF05]

What we get with Luai given the attraction for Benji & Richo is his aura amongst team mates; winning attitude; energy; leadership & family focused lifestyle. Ideal recruit and leader for the young squad we have to show the way at training, talk on-the-field and mentor the likes of Fainu, Galvin, Bud, Mason, Large etc. Secondly, his marketability for the club is MASSIVE. He gets a bad wrap at times but he is the ultimate professional & family man. With Api, Luai & Klemmer leading way, it's a game-changer!

The only period of real success Wests Tigers ever have had was characterised by a quality hooker, an underrated forward pack and an enigmatic number 6.

Sign Luai and I feel we’ve got our identity back.
