Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[liltiger]

I agree 100% - early signs aren’t great at all.

Quite frankly how his manager has conducted business over the last 12 months should bring his value down if anything.

It’s a shame because Galvin really does look the goods, but he’s being led by the worst of the worst that the NRL has to offer.

For his sake he should really run as far as he can from Issac Moses before it’s too late.

What pisses me off the most about Isaac Moses is it only ever seems to go one way with that worm. He has no problem signing over the hill has been to the Tigers, but I for the life of me can't remember him ever helping a gun junior stay a Tiger. It only ever goes one way, he always seems to take them from us and send them somewhere else.

Luai only made origin because of his combination with cleary

Didn’t he play a game (SOO) with Moses once and NSW won ?

 

[liltiger]

I highly doubt Galvin goes to East's. Isaac Moses is his manager and Politis refuses to deal with him anymore. Teddy changed managers because of Uncle Nick's view of Moses.

Can't stand Politis, but on that he's spot on, wish we could do the same.

Richo and the Tigers have the $$$ War Chest,

Im certain we will match or even exceed any offers.

To be fair to him, Brooks won many games for us over the years, problem is the players around him just managed to lose it by the 80mins.

You live in fairyland mate.

If results don’t improve this year I don’t think it would really matter if we ‘match’ other clubs

I really hope we don’t.

I guess you find it hard to take a joke.

I really hope we don’t.

Galvin will be one of the best in the years to come. Still under 20.

He is a fittler, Laurie Daley type player.

This is more than just hype.

Money talks

I only want our club to sign players who for one , want to be here with out a huge fight Over money .
I would like to see players stay or come to this club thinking we will be competitive and play for us for fair coin , I know it won’t happen as there are players that think they are worth much more than they are , EG
Dylan Brown , Newcastle 10 years 13 million , that is down and out crazy , Brown at present is worth no more than 750 , he was crap in Parra first game , and was bog average last season , Newcastle just signed a problem down the track , if Galvin won’t sign an upgrade and extension now he is in two minds , so we give him another 8 games to decide , if he doesn’t sign I would go all out on Latu , and bring him into the team and take over galvins spot , but I would not release Galvin until his contract expires , again hard but fair , and if a team come looking then we can swap him out for a player we need at first grade level , Galvin is hear for 2025 and 2026 , so if he wants out it costs him and we only can come out in front , gun player for gun payer , SIMPLE

Fittler and Daley had an X factor about them. They were big blokes who had explosive speed. They hit the line with power and had the ball skills to keep the play going after they had broken the line. They were also committed defenders.
He may end up as good as them one day…there’s certainly little indication currently that he will, but you never say never. I do believe he will have a lengthy first grade career.
It hasn’t been a great start though and for that reason I think it’s madness to reward him in such a way.

You’re setting yourself up for an almighty disappointment.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Aspersions… not asperations.

He’ll be gone soon enough. No need to lick his boots so ferociously

 

[Needaname]

You live in fairyland mate.

But on a serious note, Broncos game 2018 Raiders game 2023 are two that come to mind

Remind me how you get me ‘licking his boots’ out of questioning your post acting like you know what he said in the dressing room?

Lachie's rapid ascent is ill timed for our salary cap strategy. He will command too much money for us to even be the highest bidder.

So far I have not liked the look of how the gameplan looks with him at 6 anyway. They are weaponising his fitness by making him run himself stupid criss crossing across the field to create artificial overlaps and that has worked almost every time but he's busting a gut so hard to get there that by the time he gets there he isn't composed enough to calculate the correct decision. He has pulled the wrong reign on almost every possible try scoring opportunity created by that structure.

It appears to have been their entire attacking gameplan and it relies entirely on not only his fitness but him being an expert at instantly summarising the right play to make. His strength as a player is getting the ball early with time and space and threatening with his feet. He instinctively is a catch and run player which when put in a situation where most of the time the correct move is catch and pass he is missing the queue each time.

Benji and the team have worked against his natural instincts with this gameplan imo. I am worried if they don't have a plan b this year. Galvin is going to take ages to develop the ability to instantly catch and pass to the correct option. He's going to need to guess.

This will play out the exact same way Turdesco played us out….Galvin is as good as gone…

 

[orange&black]

Ideally we pick up a lock and an edge player so Twal goes back to the front row rotation and Pole and Seyfarth come off the bench. This makes us a far better side.
