100 percent great problem to have, just looking to the future, if we put 1 million into a lock we risk potentially losing a 10 year 5/8. If we lose the 5/8, I guess we could keep Galvin there, would be a bonus to have a bigger body half, might lose a touch of pace, though for a lanky kid he can motor so it prob wouldn't be an issue.
Teddy left us for less money. I don’t get it. Does Galvin want to play in a winning side or not? If he does he needs better players around him.
Galvins team will wait and see how he goes and how the team go , if we come out and win 7/10 games his dollars if he and Luai are going great just goes up , club probably haven’t offered him big bucks yet but I would say they have offered up an increase over this year and next to say $ 500 then the added extension of 3/4 years $.wait and see by round 10 we probably know where he goes or stay
He's a gun, reckon he will be in a Blues jersey within 2 years.
Reality of the situation is... he will want to stay if we're winning games.
I think we would like that to be the reality.
Galvin is here at our club on a modest contract for the next 2 years. Richardson has no doubt made this clear to his "team". His "team" do not want him on a modest contract. There should be no upgrade to his contract unless he commits to an extension. The club has gone above and beyond to strengthen its roster with Luai, Turuva, Hunt and May. I am impressed with the direction of the club.
You are missing one key point…. Galvin is well trained by his manager to “say the right things to the media”….but not follow through…. Think of Woods and Tedesco back when they left us…
I get it dude - I’m not an idiot lol. (All fun meant in that)
If he was all in with his commitment to the club he would have extended by now, still can't be convinced in his own mind probably because of close influences, why throw more money at him with Nov 1 looming it would be a waste if he signs somewhere else.
Agreed. This all started prior to the commencement of last season. The narrative that he is waiting to see how the team performs reminds me of our club being Plan B. This narrative is offensive to the club and its supporters.
I don’t think there is any intel on Galvin apart from what we hear from his mouth….like you, I hope he signs long term, but knowing how his manager works I think WT will be strung along for most of the season
If he wants to much let him go Latu Fainu will be just as good if not better imo.
Agreed. Another way of looking at this is if you are a young half, who would you like to be partnered with? My answer is Luai, the next being Cleary. Combined with the large contract Richardson would no doubt offer, it makes you wonder exactly what is on offer at other clubs.
You hope.....
