Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

As some have said perhaps we can offer AD for Spencer, AD is a better player than Sandon Smith or Chad Townsend (at this stage of career) until walker gets fit.
Yes we need a centre but if we can get Taylan May then we have options for other centre, and we have latu fainu as cover for halves.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

if Dylan brown can get roughly 1.3 million a year for 10 years Galvin will easily get that.

Interesting news about Spencer Leniu.
I vaguely recall someone sharing that scoop on here a week or two ago and they got called a troll? Can't quite remember.
Anyway, he'll be a gun for us.

I'm pretty sure I questioned whether you were joking or not because I had no idea of you were

But yes I remember your posts and hope your news comes true

Have you heard anymore news on it mate?

Something is up at the Roosters if Leniu is on the move. And Smith.

Gives more weight to the rumours of financial shennanigans being found out I think.

I was hoping we would get a spot , I was going with a few friends for my birthday

I wanna go too!

Either that or they have convinced some big boys to break contract and join them.

Not going to happen.

Also possible. Looks like they are clearing the decks.

Galvin rumours will fly here. I expect Cobbo & Pearce-Paul might be on their radar.

If we can jag Spencer, I can't see Galvin going anywhere. May, Leniu, Fainu, Pole, Bird, Sayfarth, Twal, he isn't going to find a pack that much better than us to play behind, we would have a few workhorses and a few guys with grunt.

May not be enough money for him. We cant buy a whole NRL team.

That's true, that's where Richo and Benji need to try to convince the guys that you can have the big dollars or take unders, to stay with your mates and build a legacy that translates to dollars later on down the track.

I'm sure the Roosters could dangle a few juicy carrots in front of a young player like Galvin & tempt him away.

As much as they are losing name players- the younger guys coming through over there are very promising players. One good buying spree & they are premiership favourites again.

One more thing about old farts like you that all us reborn clocked the machine Gen Z'rs know is..........you've got no sense of humour.

No sense of humour?
Have you ever watched the current crop of ‘comedians’ and their feeble attempts at being funny?
I actually feel for the younger generation as they don’t have the same opportunities to have unmitigated fun, without everything they do being tracked, as previous generations.
PS Nobody can be a long term WestsTigers supporter without having a sense of humour.

In a perfect world yes.
Id be surprised if Galvins crew will see it that way.
Hes their meal ticket and could earn somewhere from $12-15M in his career solely from contract payments.

Penrith should be the blueprint.

They continually lose what seem to be 'key players' & just roll on with success (this year might be telling though- Luai & Fisher-Harris are big losses).

The Tigers can't lose KEY guys. We WILL lose good players, if we get to be successful. You can't stop that. No amount of loyalty keeps every young man from chasing a few hundred grand extra per year.

Then you need to trust the junior factory to pump out ready made replacements to keep the ball rolling.

Galvin is great. But is he $500k per season BETTER than Latu Fainu? If we need to pay Galvin $1m per season to stick, is it better value, squad-wise, to run Luai with Latu, a ready made replacement?

Different story if there isn't a guy ready to step in (name nearly all other positions where we don't have depth).

Unnamed NRL club allegedly willing to offer Brown a large contract. Knights after Brown as well.

I found this interesting -

Brown’s offer from the unnamed club will reportedly be pulled if that team’s identity is made public.

I am not suggesting it is WTs because we don't need him.

Why the hell not , the roooters , broncos, and Melbourne have been doing it for years , OUR turn
But been real we have a heap of players coming of contract and the cap will go up again , can’t see it been a problem

 

[jrtiger]

Ben Dobbin reporting that he's heard a club is after Tyson Frizell to make an immediate switch away from Newcastle.

it's gotta be us, doesn't it?

It’s the knights , offering him 1.3 million a season , he is nowhere near worth that much
