You mean more salary cap money than the Roosters.

Yes … what else can the Tigers offer ?
I understand it was $200k a year more …
Maybe get old mate from Meriton to lose a few golf bets with Galvin … but like I said …I dont think it’s all about the money …

I’m not sure a player with a track record of his discipline / focus issues is a good fit for Wests Tigers, regardless of his ability. If Melbourne / Bellyache and Roosters / Robinson can’t bring him to heel, how do you reckon he would go at WTs?? It would be Mad Monday every Monday!
Is this the SBW story?

Has it only happened once ?
Uncle Nick is a very poor golfer I have heard … never wins his bets with players
SBW is a worse player than uncle Nick, but managed to get the cookies every time?

Sorry, I’ve been out of the loop on this…
What was he rumoured to have said in the dressing sheds? Was this shouted?
What was he rumoured to have said in the dressing sheds? Was this shouted?
Buzz reported he was overheard in the dressing room post-game saying that he wants to leave the club.
Richo then confirmed to the Telegraph that Galvin's management asked for a release on Thursday and that he'll be meeting with his parents this week to discuss the issue.
Also said that we don't intend to release him.

Yeah the bit I don’t understand is who in the dressing room was he speaking with?

It's gone from speaking with someone to yelling out he don't wanna be here
Find this bit hard to believe... But as I said before Richo is quoted on the matter so there is something to it

No one publicly has said any more about it so we don’t know … we only have Buzz’s word so far … so a second source would be good I think
Why would anyone be surprised that a kid who has been use to playing in rep teams and told how good he is his whole young life might act up after getting smashed - pretty sure this is not how envisioned his career to go. Good chance he might even think he is better than is. So he hates losing - I get it.

Not excusable.
He is a big part of the problem with our attack.
Show some humility, learn and grow.
Didn't excuse it but young people don't always act with humility or maturity in situations when they are frustrated. Dare say they can be self absorbed, especially ones who have never experienced failure. So if he has acted up he has some growing up to do. He also has a contract and far more interested about how the CEO manages that current situation.
We are all down with how we are going, we don’t need someone telling us how it is!
Not helpful…

The issue with this club at the moment it is easy for other clubs to entice him elsewhere . Tigers have to find a way to combat this,which is winning not coin.

Old mate doesn’t give anyone a dollar. We’d have to get him the redevelopment rights to Callan Park before he’d even consider making a contribution

Look we should not have forced him to play injured.
I get Galvin being angry at this. I get Moses being angry at this. Heck I am angry at this and IMHO a strong strike against Benji "holiday" Marshall.
Otherwise, we need to punt the drama queens!
I am all down with enforcing contracts. If someone wants to scream "I want out", they can rot in reserve grade.
We need to avoid drama queens. Anyone signed with Moses tends to bring their own drama.
Because he was injured and because he should not have been playing injured I will give Galvin a benefit of the doubt.... Without that injury, I would seriously put him through contract hell.
We need people to hold to contracts. We do not need drama queens. Particularly 5/8 drama queens.
