I can’t recall reading in the Tele a list of off contract at end of 2026 players at any other club…. It’s the start of the season ,,,and this is all they have to write about ?

 

[madgey76]

Would you believe the Tele haha

I’m just assuming the “pla” is a typo for “pls”, as in please. Someone commented about theoretically getting both his brothers to tigers so “yes pls (please)” would seem a very viable answer. Additionally, the letter “S” is right next to the letter “a” on the keyboard so a typo would make a lot of sense.

The narrative is Gus discovered May before WTs and it was just an unfortunabe circumstance (I don't think he expanded on that issue) he isn't with the Dogs. But the world deserves to know the truth!

The narrative - Or the facts?
He came through at Penrith in the last decade,
Pretty obvious I'd have thought.

 

[innsaneink]

I don't know what to think until someone explains what pla means

Typo of PLZ
The A key just above the Z

Yes plz....im always hitting wrong key too

Edit....like as @Charred said aboe

While 2024 was his break out season, he was already showing his talent the year prior. Gus didn't discover him. In fact, if it wasn't for the cancellation of NSW Cup in 2020, May would've stayed with Wests and been a club immortal by now!

Never let the truth get in the way of a Gus story.

Yeah but Gus is like QLD.

 

[Spartan117]

Where'd May play before he got to the Magpies?
and who was the GM of Football at that club at that time?

Your 'facts' might need adjusting...

 

[Mccarry]

Well thought out possibly

Or he meant to type pls… a is next to s on the keyboard

 

[Spartan117]

Seriously please MODS.. i come here for wests Tigers and to escape the political nonsense we are bombarded with from that clown show in the US.. can we please keep threads on topic and not US politics? 🙏

We 100% agree Mate

The issue is most of as are semi normal who work.

Its mostly the same folks saying the same things and no one is convincing anyone else.

PS - We are looking for more Mods

Luai is a class act and shut down the manure on 10 News about him replacing Brown at the Eels in 2 years. He said he is a Tiger and was clearly unimpressed with the question. Also 10 News mentioned Galvin and the Roosters being interested despite having 2 years left on his contract.

 

[Stevec]

Nrl tonight seem to want to create story's around Galvin and even Luai
Truth is there is no story !!
They don't let truth get in the way of a headline
If you don't have a headline then make one up and as soon as someone replies then your story gains "traction "
Fact :not one of the 16 other clubs can even talk to these guys till Nov 1
IMO they seem happy and proud to be part of this big Tigers Resurrection

 

[Tcat]

Richo needs to do something about these reporters making shit up to sell news stories. It's de-stabilising for clubs, for players, sponsors and fans. Galvin has 2 years left on his contract and even 6 months or so until he is free to negotiate. This shit shouldn't be spoken about atm. The seasons only just started.

 

[Vicious]

Making players understand that wanting overs means we cannot build a competitive squad around them is the hard part.
I’m a big Galvin fan and desperately want him to remain a Wests Tigers player long term, but I nearly fell off my seat when reading reports about him potentially being re-signed for 1.2 million per season.
Matt Burton is reportedly earning 800k per season, how can Galvin be worth more than him at this stage of their careers ?
Surely it’s a bluff from his manager as I can’t see any other clubs paying more than 800k per season for Galvin at this stage of his career.
Similar with Luai, we signed him for 1.2 million per season in good faith when no other club would pay it. He is not worth any more and surely he knows it would be impossible to have a decent team with him if we did go any higher.
Then we have the issue with keeping Latu Fainu happy and keeping his brothers happy at the same time.
It would appear all 3 are on more than fair contract money, but is the big contract value alone enough to keep Latu happy if he is not a regular in our top 17 ?
I get the feeling he will become unhappy if left out of our NRL top 17 for too long, but the question is how do we fit him in and does he realise he needs to kick the door down by dominating at NSW Cuo level when selected for that team. I don’t think there are any other players being paid 500k while playing NSW Cup, so he needs to be the best player in that competition.

I like it as player more, but I think you and @innsaneink are right haha
