Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

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.

That's the real issue with the whole Galvin thing, Isaac Moses.

Cmon Tucker...

Bateman was hammering Benji publicly.
Klemmer, from what I can tell hasn't said much and Stef/Paps have slipped a little but not a lot.

It was Bateman who always got quoted as attacking Benji.

Can you give us one quote where Bateman attacked Benji. Easy to talk. Please. Can we see the evidence. If that's okay with yourself. Where is the hammering on paper?

How many on here really cares anymore X he's gone mate why dwell, if he's successful up there good luck to him more interested in who we could possibly get as a replacement that should be the focus.

 

[Buttface]

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

I bet Gus has already written a six figure number on a napkin for old man Glavin, with a TBA, and I bet it’s more than Brown.

Exactly. The poster brought it up. Trashing another human that wore our tribal colors. I think that was not fair. So - I asked - as in a fair trial - where is the evidence. Thats all.

Parrs can afford it.

I’m glad Brown has extorted so much out of them. But it means old man Gal will do the same, Gavin is and will always be better than Brown.

Galvin is lucky the media decided to put the super tag on his head after a couple of games and continue to maintain the hype. This will ensure his next contract is well over market value and will probably be crazy money like in the super league war days.

Don’t get me wrong, he has talent and seems a really good kid, but with all the hype we are going to have a lot of competition trying to get him to sign on the dotted line

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Its no hype. Its real.

 

[Tiger-ferret]

I don't think the market is necessarily set by what they have achieved, but more by what similar players in demand are getting.

Luai, Sam Walker etc...the bar for available halves players is up around $1m now, if they are considered in that bracket.

I think Galvin will be earning more than we anticipate.

Of course he will. He’s a media darling and will be in hot demand. He’s signaled he wants to leave already by asking for multiple releases. We’ll pay overs (ie won’t be 650) at the very least if he stays (and I don’t think he will regardless).

 

[Tucker]

Its no hype. Its real.

The potential is real...high ceiling most likely.
However, at the moment and on evidence supplied, his form is mostly hype.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

I respect your opinion. In my opinion - Galvin is the real deal. At the moment. There is more reality than there is hype. Im sure you would agree. The results speak for themselves. The statistics speak for themselves. I love to indulge in reality. Not hype on the contrary. I dont have a crystal ball. I cant see the future. Grant me that. Im just being evidence based.

Galvin is a highly talented young player. He will grow in size and the next two years, when he is signed to WTs, perhaps are the best for him as a 6. Galvin in our NRL team makes us stronger, but so does the presence of Fainu. It will be very interesting to see what eventuates as I recall Gould in commentary last year making the observation Fainu is an NRL half.

The thing I love about Galvin is his work ethic seems the kind of guy that will be first there and last to leave

You either have that or you don't it's a mind set of self discipline

Maybe Gould said that cause he wants Galvin. He's brainwashing Wests Tigers and their fans.

A real estate agent wants buyers bidding against one another. Halves are in demand and Brown has been a good footballer for a long time. I don't agree with these clauses in the contracts which allow players and their agents to go to market while under contract. There is no certainty which is exactly what the manager wants.

That comment was made around the time Fainu put Seyfarth under the posts with that superb ball. We have Galvin for the next 2 years and these are likely to be his best as a 6 noting natural growth.

I would argue that to pay 1 mill a season, a club would want to see at least 2 or 3 seasons of consistency before loading up on a marquee contract like that.

The guys you mention did not get a million bucks at 19.
