Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[crazycat]

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?

I did give in the history X.
"“I was pretty disappointed it wasn’t shut down earlier by the club. Benji came out four months later to say we never had an argument, but that could have been shut down a lot earlier."

Moreover he literally says that his treatment was the same as Luke Brooks! He is being polite but rubbing it into us. Painting a picture for Galvin and Bula to leave because if they stay, they will be the next Brooks.

Clearly there was a spray in the dressingrooms mid season as well. https://www.ntnews.com.au/sport/nrl...d/news-story/04434fcbbacf4856fc5201a3cf83de2e

I don't have quotes on that. ...

Batey, don't let the door hit you too hard.

Don't care if Voss has it wrong.

A fit Turuva will be awesome!

 

[Ron Brodrick's Spirit]

he would have got the shoulder operation mixed up with Bula and Taruvas appendix, he is not a smart man Mr Voss, as previously mentioned he has no idea about the tigers apart from piling on us

You'd maybe think that if he didn't say Bula told him about the appendix operation and how they couldn't just do a simple keyhole operation.

 

[hank37w]

The very confusing part of this is that VOSS SAID ON AIR THAT IT WAS BULA, AND HE SPOKE TO BULA ABOUT IT!
He went into great detail about the complex surgery that was required.

It's quite a bold-faced lie, if he is lying, to say he had a conversation with Bula about his operation.

You know the old saying about "Two things can be true at once," maybe both of them had complex appendix surgery.

We will never really know because the club never reports this stuff or gives updates about injuries or recovery times.

 

[Modman]

So we're back to being scared about Galvins future. Nice.

no, experts telling you how it is. Forget what ex players coaches and every other league fan see when it comes to Galvin, we have our lounge room coach telling everyone how it is, forget what anyone else says worry abt the living room coach and his followers. Personally hes a wannabee that gets off on sounding like a pro talking shit abt what was easily our best player last year regardless what bullsshit spin you put on it. Your as annoying as A Johns, at least he laced up a pair of boots.

 

[Odessa]

Surely he hasn’t got them mixed up?

Maybe he spoke to Bula about Turuvas surgery ha ha

...
So Andrew Voss ins't fully fact checking when he hears roumers of our players and surgery...

Anyone else thinking we could have some fun with this! 😉

haha honestly nothing about olam

@kade7 anything on Galvin?

I wrote on email to Richo a few weeks back with some news I had.

He wrote back saying "we have it in hand".

Anything further to that recently?

I mean the better we do this year the more money he is going to command - the worse we do - the more he wants to leave.

What's the negotiation

a little to add
- the club and his manager & father have been in discussion, the kid genuinely loves the club and wants to play with his mates
- the bottom line is he wants to be paid and is backing his ability to sign a very rich deal with the club


i also dont think dylan brown has much to do with his future , family arent the most impressed with his treatment as a junior

one think to add , i think latu is the clubs long term six and galvin to 13

Any idea what the magic numbers are and if the club will go for it?

I'd love to hear that the plan is to turn him into a 13 but wouldn't be surprised if he flatly said "no I want to be a 6"

He has said in an interview previously that he knows he’ll probably end up as a 13 but wants to be a 6 as long as he can. Even he knows it’s his future.

Personally i Skelton is the winger to be excited about.

thanks @kade7 !!!

But surely the club know he’s worth more than $300k or whatever he gets this year and next

And surely they know people are going to be offering him close to a million

So why don’t they just up his contract this year and next and pay him a million a season for 4 seasons?

For any other club to compete with that they would have to offer him like 1.7m per season for the first two seasons he is available.

No one can do that.

We have the advantage - so why doesn’t Richo just pay him more now?

What am I missing?

Like why are waiting or risking another club like roosters dogs dragons etc offering him a 10 yr deal at 1.2 that ratchets up to $1.7m

They offered Tedesco more money than anyone else, but he still chose to leave …

Galvin is waiting to see if they can win games … it’s pointless asking anyone else now if he is staying , because he and his team don’t know themselves yet.. he wants to play at a winning club …

But his first preference is for that winning club to be the tigers .
Win and he stays. Lose and he goes . It’s a very simple equation of which “he goes” will probably include Benji , and then Luai as well .
Such is the strong opinion of most that this team should win games of footy . I’m saying anymore than 14 would be considered urealistic , but not wining every other game will bring the eyes of the footy world down on this club.
And it should . We should win games this year . And I think we will . So the whole previous 2 paragraphs were a waste of time because the kid will re-sign .
Soo relax and enjoy the ride . Jesus …

 

[bptiger 0]

Possibly.... The grass always seemed very long but even and.not easy for running

That brings back memories, I too played many games on that great grass , it doesn’t happen any more

Perhaps we need the extra 700k ish the next two years you propose to sign decent 2nd rowers and centres? It’s not just about Galvin.

I'm outdated but I'll happily wear that tag and I am commenting based on your post. NRL players are professional sportsman, and the top players are well paid win or lose. Winning is fundamental to competitive sport however it is not always possible. All teams or individuals go onto the playing field or court to win, Adopting the position that you will stay only if your team is winning, or you want to go to a winning team is not the mindset imo of a team player. Players such as Luai, one of the biggest signings in the NRL has the confidence to come to the WTs. And what constitutes a winning team? The Roosters, Canterbury or the Panthers? What is your view on this?

 

[Ron Brodrick's Spirit]

When you consider we paid Hastings 800k to be a car park attendant and stand around and point at things, 1 million would be a bargain price for Galvin.
Do it now Richo.

Is your offer contingent upon him signing an extended contract eg 4 year deal?

 

[Ron Brodrick's Spirit]

Yes.
As a start with yearly increases.
Are you signing now?
