Sad thing is though it's getting noisey that Ponga is talking to uncle Nick about going to Bondi, unofficially of course. If Ponga leaves the Knights have Brown as a marquee signing to try and attract other players.

still Ponga threatens to join the All Blacks 2 bump his price.lol
 
If he wants to leave after that win against the eels and the way the boys celebrated and fought for each other, he hasn't bought into what we are building... I'd happily see the back of him.

I know it was only the eels. But we also stuck it in with the knights who will probably make the 8 and almost beat them.. our defence is 1000x better and we are showing a bit of that 05 like spark with the ball..

Ive said it before, this has been a true rebuild and we are onto something good here.. if it isn't semis finals this year, it will be next year...

So if you don't want in, fk off mate. We don't need his managers toxicity flowing through our ranks and dragging this out.

I also wouldn't release him early though, make the most of him on the cheap and make him earn every dollar.

I think the most impressive thing about his game was the fact he was setting up try’s down the right hand side. We all know he loves the left

And how much better was the fluency of the team with him sticking to the right and chiming in on the left, instead of trying to be involved in every play on the left. I can see our attack really going places with Bula then selecting his timing and Bula also watching for opportunities off May. They’ll need to work out how to bring Samuela into play. Patience is the key

Waiting for all the blokes who want to drop him and put Latu in his place to come out of the shadows. Outplayed the 1.3 million dollar man with ease today.
Not bad for a kid.

No one who was critical of Galvin thinks that. It was more in context of the talk of big money contracts and moving clubs when he has a lot to learn still.

He's a good player, but $1 million or more is for good player + consistency. It's why people are so baffled at the Brown deal.

Further, I think fans can see the club is in decent shape and don't want to be mucked around by a greedy manager trying to squeeze every last cent out of us, while simultaneously having us in the papers each week about the issue.

Let's put it this way. His manager can come out tomorrow and say give us $xxx and we will sign now...but no, he's going to market. You can see why people say if he's not committed, let's move on fast so it doesn't derail what we are building.

I hope we keep him, but I hope we don't end up blowing our cap to do it.
 
The club's plan, if true, to offer an extension is good. If he rejects the offer, the club can prioritise which player partners Luai and benefits from his experience and knowledge. Richardson is a very good operator and has done exceptionally well to provide Marshall with a much improved team and move along certain players. I believe this is a strategic move which may not have occurred prior to Richardson's appointment.

Has had done an amazing job who would have thought

If little Man Lee was still here what a cluster Fu#K it would still have been
 
Galvin is a guy who will get better and better each time
6 months from now I predict he will be in elite class
So now is the time to lock him up 2027 - 2030
He's ours 2025/2026 but other clubs are free to talk to him Nov 1 this year
I think Parra will definitely make a play
From now till Nov 1 we are the only club allowed to negotiate with him
He looks very happy atm
PS I think Shape would be an amazing pick up ( hope Brown squeezes him out )

After their start to the season the eels have very little chance of attracting Galvin or Luai as some journos were suggesting last week .

This is an astonishing observation to say tne least. I understand from a fan point of view. How ever - does it in juxtaposition to your valid observation - looking at perennial wooden spooners - get Luai to us? I'd appreciate some clarity or even foot notes. And im not talking about a slow start to a season - but 3 wooden spoons. What do you believe makes Galvin different to Luai in terms of money.

Our roster is significantly stronger than Parramatta's. They are on a rapid decline which even Stevie Wonder can see, our coach was a superstar who attracted superstars. Ryles was a meathead front rower who will struggle to attract players, the fact that they have lost Sanders, Talagi and Brown speaks volumes.

I hear you. But can you please talk about the part of water front homes - beautiful cars - tax free indexation, world holiday travels, stardom on this continent - no money problems for the better part of your life. Thats all.

Hopefully Galvin signs an extension, we have latu fainu he no doubt will be a good halves partner for Luai however he is not and will never be a Glavin,

Galvin will be elite at the end of his career possibly from a 6 to a ball playing 13 like fitlwr and yeoh. If we fail to re-sign Galvin it will be a big blow to the club

We all hope he re-signs, but we have a contingency in place should he not. Bula demonstrated last game while playing 5/8 as well as fullback, that pace, acceleration and ball playing are required in the halves. He made breaks and created opportunities against the Eels. Fainu has these attributes as well as a strong defensive technique. I am not going to compare players noting that you refer to a switch from 6 to 13 for Galvin.
