Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

He probably will the trouble is it may not be with us.

Unless we have another bad season this year, Galvin won’t want to go anywhere else.

 

[batboy]

He has filled out since he was playing NRL. No smaller than any of the other guys getting around today.

And?
Doesn't change what I said.

Well we don’t need a 5/8, but he’s an exceptional ball runner/playmaker and would be perfectly suited to fullback in the NRL.
If Bula and/or Mason reach their potential this season we won’t need a fullback either, but that’s a let’s wait and see situation.
Bevan French is bigger, stronger, smarter and a much more complete player since he was playing last in the NRL playing on the wing for the Eels.
I’d say it’s highly likely he plays out his career in the UK Super League at this stage.

I think we need to get the club back on track before we worry bout super league depth players

Klemmer must be gone by the story in the DT . Don't have access to the story but saw it on reddit.still hinges on Molo leaving

The smaller guys go ok these days in my view.

If Robbo is in trouble at the roosters, do we need to worry about Benji getting poached.

 

[Kelce68]

Galvin is never going to reach the heights of cleary. Not even close

He has played 21 games and is 19 years old.

That's quite a crystal ball.

 

[Dazed]

Honestly if Galvin left and become great it wouldn't bother me, as long as if Latu takes over and kills it. It's not about a great individual, it's about a great team. Great individuals like ponga win dally ms, not premierships. Ask any player what they'd rather, and it's the latter

Great individuals like Nathan Cleary win you a premiership. Am sure his team think the same!

No, Benji has good teef.

Summary: have asked NRL to sign Klemmer while Molo is on the books and would start season with 31 players. NRL don't want to set this precedent.

In other news, pretty much every team who hasn't been to Vegas yet is there rubbing shoulders with V'Landys about 2026...except Wests 🤣

we would rather use Magic Round as a home game rather than vegas...

Yeah, I'd say the same. Carryanis was saying how he was hard done by and he's not even training with the team atm, I'd say he's already agreed to go and agreed with Saints and we've wrapped him up in cotton wool to make sure nothing happens to him between now and when the Dragons get themselves sorted.

Pretty sure we would have the safest coach in the comp in that regard atm.

Most NRL Players go OK in that shitty comp too
(Pretty much everyones view)

Even saw some Sezer highlights from the Weekend on line

 

[Merlot]

That is a bizarre request from St G on so many levels

 

[Lestronge]

How big is the annual salary cap for reference?

Anyone who’s dumb enough to give Galvin 20 million dollars , base on the evidence presented as of march 2025, is playing Russian roulette with thier football team .
If the cap goes up and the percentages allow for that , maybe , but based on a salary cap of 15m , giving 1 player close to 15% of your cap , is a sure fire way to ensure the team comes last , and your out of a job come 2 years from now .
I see nothing to show me that he is Michael Jordan / LeBron James , Patrick Mahomes , Maradonna , Messi level talent .
Which is what you’re saying when you say he will get 10 years 20 mil , where he can affect an outcome so dramatically .
There’s actually only 2 players in The game who id consider maybe that good .
One is wearing number 7 and playing right now in Vegas , and the other is a number 1 who spends half the season out injured with his hammy every year , so you’d never give him that amount of money . And the first would never ask for it , because he wants to win that badly .

 

[Vicious]

Who is suggesting 20 million dollars ?
If you ready between the lines I’d say Richo has offered an amount that Galvin thinks could be better and Richo would be of the opinion if he wants more, than he will need to take the risk and prove it this season.

Tbh Magic Round is more of a success for the NRL than playing in Vegas.

It’s literally what @tigermate said a few posts ago

Kini, Jayden Campbell, weekes, Mam

They are all smaller and don't get rag dolled each week in NRL.

If you think they do, then fair enough. I respect your opinion.
