Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[BAGNF05]

On Galvin….. to say I’m disappointed would be a massive understatement. I’ve always liked Galvin as a player and his maturity on the field has always blown me away, however his maturity off the field has been nothing short of disgusting.

For a club to hand him his debut at 18 and give him the keys to our team knowing there’s gonna be an uphill battle with a team coming from back to back spoons and a roster set to be bolstered in 2025 with Luai (bought to partner him) and Turuva. Also considering no other team in the NRL would’ve handed him his debut as quickly as we did to also give him the opportunity to prove to the league he was ready for that leap.

To then be 8-9 games into his career and to start making demands he wants out immediately and as publicly as he has to allegedly blurt it out around the whole locker room has stunned me.

From a mail perspective don’t let the media companies fool you….. this is ALL about money. Moses has good connections in the media and I can assure you the planted reasons of anything else is just to distract you from the fact he can make double if he went elsewhere for 3 years and most likely to a club winning football games.

Richo isn’t Pascoe….. Lachie won’t be going anywhere and if he does it’ll be in 2027. I expected this from the slimily Moses but not from the kid. Utterly disappointed.

Moses has done the kid a disservice. If his footy suffers from all the external noise and he ends up back in lower grades his development could be put back years. That bloke appears to be an A grade flog.

Still think his ego could be managed if the people around him weren’t toxic. You can be easily brainwashed at his age. He’s probably had everyone in his ear, which has contributed to him feeling 10 feet tall.

Do you have an opinion on Kayal Iro just read he doesn't have a contract for next year

I remember he was a wonderful junior and was ear mark for big things

Yes I’m sure he won KOE player of the year or something a few seasons back.
He does his job, makes good meters every week, makes most of his tackles. He is just starting out so may get him cheap.

 

[Red88_Tiger]

Nobody that does not want to be here.
should we bust our balls to keep here.

Let them go and get someone else who would like to try being a worthwhile addition to the
West Tigers group.

The thing is you start an acceptance to that behaviour
It’s why I think letting papali go is why we have the current issue of Steph and Galvin imo
Edit thought I posted this to bagnf05 post drinking on a Wednesday arvo not good for me obviously

He does it constantly. I'm amazed players can't see the damage he does to them and how he doesn't care how bad he makes them look.

IMO anyone who chooses to be managed by Moses is piece of shit. Galvins parents are off their heads signing their teenager to this grub.

It is widely known what he is like, everyone in the game hates him. So to choose him as the manager of your son shows a real lack of character.

Sharks seem to do a really good job of holding their kids back till they are ready - Iro is 24 and only just debuted

 

[TigerNeddyK]

I couldn't see any comments on this , but it sounds like Tom Flegler has the same or similar issue as Simon Dwyer
Sad to hear ...he seemed a nice young bloke and talented footballer

Oh no, 😟 ,, jeez I hope not, Tom is a hell of a football player and seems like an absolute champion of a young man.. I really hope he sorts this out and gets back on the field asap… 🙏🤞

Sad reality is no one expects any different from Moses and even with his manager ban he’s not going to change
Would be interesting to know if any teams that enabled him during the ban have been bitten yet l

How it affects him in the future really only depends upon form
Look at Ben hunt with all his contract drama

And how Richo reacts. He’s not on big money, if he doesn’t pull his head in we could just play him in twos for two years.

 

[TigerNeddyK]

Not gonna happen

Agreed , and can someone start their own thread for “players moved on, or that I think will be” as this is the signings suggestions and rumours thread and I am sick to death and then some of the usual suspects and their paranoid trolling BS constantly whining that they think this player or that will be at abother club next year and also enough of the sack Benji bs .. FFS this is supposed to be a supporters forum, with signings and rumours for signings that you feel would improve the club not endless trolling... People are entitled to write what they want, but at least put it in the appropriate thread if you have any decency. i hoped this forum would be a place where intersting conversation about potential players in theory or even hope would be thought provoking or even just put a bit of hope that a fellow supporter has a bit of inside knowledge that we could look forward to.. rant over … ☹️

And he went into the coaches office every week to sit down and find out what he needs to improve on to get into the NRL team.

This is the character we need.

I said it last year, we need to recruit more on personality and character.

Hazelton as well was a late debuton.

Storm as well. Grant was 22. Kamakamitha was 24 I think.

It’s great for their physical and mental development.

 

[Halbrowne61]

Not over the line yet, just need to convince Bud it'll do wonders for his career.

Jayden Sullivan's Super League club confirmed but deal hinges on major caveat

A deal has been agreed for Sullivan to come to Super League. But it's far from a done deal just yet.

And his wife and family that it’ll be a great experience !

 

[Canadian Club]

It appears they are both leaving us too.
Our youth development project is looking very much like a failed experiment.

Losing Makasini would be a disaster

Sullivan has a wife and family at the age of 22 ??

I take all the reports about blurting it out in the dressing room with a grain of salt. Probably a load of crap.

We really don’t know what Galvin is thinking. Moses is using his usual slimy tactics through the media.

I think this whole thing is just about more money. And when he looks around and sees Latu and Bud on 3 times what he’s on, of course that’s going to have him feeling a certain way.

Just offer him more money. If he takes it great, if he doesn’t then cya later. It’s not like it matters anyway. This club is cursed.

If we were successful and had choice yes.
We are not successful and don’t have choice, we don’t even have 13 good standard NRL players in our squad.

Why do you think Makasini is leaving us?

I’m sure he was accompanied by a wife when he visited the COE before he signed on.
