Sure..if u think so...
Just being practical...only way he will stick around is if we do super well.
Hope we do..
Hope you do

I just don’t think going to the Roosters is as attractive as many people seem to think it is
Sure they are known as a glamour club and sure they get the fringe benefits that Uncle Nick provides, but they are currently in a rebuild themselves, Teddy getting older and slowing down and if a young 5/8 such as Galvin signed with them on big money, he would be the one scrutinised and kicked to the curb if they didn’t get their desired results.
They virtually ruined a good young player in Kyle Flanagan.
I know it’s good to be ruthless, but you also have to show a bit of backbone and back your players, only a few select chosen ones get that treatment from them which is hypocritical in itself.
Terrell May a prime example of that.

The difference is. Their rebuild is every year. Not 10 years

That’s not the argument.
The argument is that life at the Roosters is not as uncomplicated and rosy as many seem to think.

I know a lot of people will probably laugh, but I didn't think young Flanagan was really all that awful at the Chooks before they kicked him to the curb.

All I can say is I only wish we had a billionaire with a true passion for the club..and a wallet prepared to optimise his: "hobby:...and attract whatever talent floating around.He can do that
I cldnt even tell you who the Roosters CEO is..its irrelevant
Im very envious btw

He wasnt...but not good enuff in a key position to take the trophy
So thats a fail in Uncle Nicks eyes
..and Im ok with that

Who's arguing?

 

[hsvjones]

So you really think Klemmer is going to Dragons ??

I don't as it seems they don't have a spot until Molo goes and they also want compensation for him as well.. Unlikely that happens for a while as Molo camp have got lawyers involved as well now.

That is a Sh#t show in itself, so don't get excited just yet

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Molo is gone

 

[hsvjones]

Molo is gone

He might be gone as in playing for Dragons BUT until he finds a club with Salary cap free that will sign him plus compensate Dragons it will all be on hold.

roosters are ruthless they move on Kyle Flanagan
they moved on mitchell Pearce for Cooper Cronk
they do what they need to do
Galvin fits the bill to partner Sam Walker at some point

Has this skinny twink officially been moved on yet or is it all still speculation?

Wow they really did have the hardest pre-season ever.

I think he went ok as well

Did you hear what his dad said about him the other day

He mite not be an elite player but he is an elite competitor

That was his profile pic before 2024.

Hard to disagree with that.

Thought he made a fair fist of playing hooker towards the end of his stint at the Dogs as well, definitely not afraid to have a go.

Obviously on the decline then, blessing he wants out.

Can’t see how the drag queens get any compensation, Molo wants out and the drag queens can’t sign KLEMMER or any other player till he signs for another club

We used to have that with “Harry T, owner of Meriton” but it’s not that simple. Money helps but I think Politis is a bit more NRL savvy, especially re players.
Just for your info Roosters CEO is Joe Kelly. He’s been there for a while, maybe 10 years( but that’s only a guess).

Thnks
Joe has no public face...which is how u survive working under someone like Politis
And whilst I appreciate harrys "involvement"at WTs, I wldnt call it a lifelong passion for footy success as is Politis
