Great radio - are the players listening?

It was a great listen.
Some real life lessons and experience on display. Concur, hope parents and Galvin have a listen, and;
1. Richo explains what's in the plan/pipeline [in strict confidence, not to be repeated to Moses or the media]
2. Adjusts his contract to reflect his value and
3. Extends the length of the contract to ward off suiters.

If it gets to you so much, just put me on ignore mate. Saves you getting upset, and saves me getting notifications from you, following me around in every thread barking at me

Nice one champ, as if I would follow u around! Please I have much better taste than that. It’s just that u troll on every topic on here ‘the disrupter’! Not upset it’s just annoying…

They're right...
He's 18 - He has plenty of time....
Kids wanna play with their mates.

I don't think he wants to go, But he wants (Much) more money
- But also wants to be able to re-negotiate in 3 years....
When there'll be about 6 less big name halves in the game, And all and sundry will know the lay of the land on what's coming through and where they're at.
He'll be a bit older and may look to jump then.

I love these 'competitive' sports athletes who aren't looking to compete these days....
What Boxer goes out and says I can't win because of the camp I keep....

These blokes are getting paid to win, Not just take part....
There's 30 odd of them in the squad that have been doing this for most of their lives,
Surely they can find a way to make it happen - Or at least be better.....

lol , I’m not even sure HE does . 150k , living with your parents , 6 months out of high school , would be like wtf to him. At 18 he wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between 150-250k , and how far that would change , our side of investment opportunities, advised to him….. his manager and to a lesser extent his parents ….. mmmmmm . There’s a massive difference between 7500-15000 dollars commission , as there is to 30-60k commission (600k for Galvin) . This is what it’s really about.
There’s a reason a lot of players have jumped off him lately . His stable is not the who’s who of players it once was . And I think that’s because he rarely had the players BEST interest at heart. Usually it’s his interest that aligns with thiers.
Look at the Brown being sued stuff . As a dad if my son ever made nrl , he would be the last person I would want around my kid .
I actually think Braith , or , Tyran Smith would be the most ideal , guys like that with a strong reputation . Despite what we think about Braith .
The only player who has a long standing relationship with Moses is his nephew … everyone else has either jumped ship , or finds a new agent .
You don’t have to be a shark to navigate the oceans .

I really get sick of the media muppets and their crap comparisons on us not letting Galvin go but are trying to offload Sullivan.
The case is we have a contract with both and we can hold Galvin to it as that’s the rules. Sullivan in turn can also hold us to the contract if he chooses to do so, that’s the rules. If he doesn’t want to leave that’s fine just like packer did!! Stop banging on about a comparison that u are miss using, muppets.

Bunch of hypocrites if you ask me. Did Dragons get the same treatment when they told Bud he was free to leave but held Hunt to his contract?

He's a big advocate for players leaving clubs when it's one of our players, but when it's a team he likes the player is showing no loyalty.

Buzz doesn't like Wests Tigers. Not sure why, but it predates Richo who apparently he also doesn't get on with. He advocates for Galvin to be let go under some kind of mercy plea, but he was insistent that Ben Hunt should honour his contract. Difference being he is great mates with Flanno. There is very little objectivity in RL journalism, partcularly in the FOX / Newscorp stable. It's all based on mates, protected sources, contra deals and would you believe it, still on lines that were drawn during Super League / ARL days.
 
The Dragons were being portrayed as a basket case over the Hunt and Lomax situations. If they’d only won 2 games, you’d still be reading about it everyday. Don’t kid yourself.

If Moses wants more money for Galvin why doesn’t he ask the other tigers players in his stable, Klemmer and Bateman, to reduce their contracts in line with their performance with that money going to Galvin? It will never happen of course.

If Galvin really does want to leave I think we should consider it in the offseason or before the transfer deadline next year. If Latu is as good as advertised, and O Large is still with us, we may as well trade him for a good player, or two average players, in return to strengthen our roster overall. Key to this will be Latu having a run of first grade games this year and showing promise and O Large being locked up for a few more years.

Out of Galvin, Latu and Large, Galvin is the one to lose. He is not fast and will likely have to transition to the forwards at some point. This carries risk given his light frame.

I find Gavin's longevity at 5/8 is limited because he DOES'T HAVE A SIDE STEP! No evasive moves!
And his speed will decrease as he fills out. Smart enough, sets up runners, improved kicking game, A keeper IMO, but will most likely transition to the forwards in time. But someone needs to tell him that. It is the most likely scenario. Get used to it.
You're a straight runner, not an evasive runner!
 
The reason why we are such an easy target is because we don’t win enough games to silence it. That’s why it doesn’t seem like other teams cop it as much as us, cos they have their struggles, then shake it off and move up the ladder. We never do, hence why these stories constantly linger.

Apparently one of his gripes is that he has been told that he will end up a second rower as he fills out.

Very good comment by Johns , Our boy needs to take notice of this and do exactly what he said , train Hard , Tuen up , embarrasses the older players , help revive the tigers

And that's one reason why John's is an immortal. Joining a champion cllub and playing finals is one thing. Transforming a club and taking it to the finals is on a completely different level. I reckon that's Luai's attitude. He's a winner, he expects to win and he won't accept his teammates thinking any other way.

Just last week someone asked Luai if he regretted signing for the tigers and he replied that he would of had more regrets not joining us and trying to make a difference somewhere.

Mate if his heart isn’t in the joint, why keep him….dont you want players that actually want to be here and put in for the club…FFS 10 weeks ago Galvin was quoted as wanting to form a Dynasty within the club and the young guys coming through….first bad trot he experiences and he wants out…. Go I say and don’t let the door hit you on the way out son….

I remember a certain fullback and five eighth from our juniors saying something very similar several years ago. Look how that ended up!

Kepaoa is an interesting one to follow. If he does improve I wonder what the catalyst will be?
Click to expand...

I can’t believe how well Tommy Talau is going at Manly … he was given a lot of opportunity here and never capitalised..l think it was more of an attitude issue in hindsight..

Kepaoa has issues that just make him a liability….low football IQ, poor concentration, suspect defence, bad hands and low confidence …he can literally lose you a game on his own …

If he now manages to kick on , even at the best team in the competition, then all the coaches he had here should turn it up..
