He’s defending in the wing to get 200 plus run metres per game value out of his kick returns and hit ups.
You would hope Galvin is smart enough to realise the pressure he would be under if he accepts a million dollar per season offer from a rival club, particularly if it was taking over from a legend such as DCE.
There are a lot of reasons in favour of him staying if he's smart, he will recognize the advantages of playing alongside Luai and not to be singled out at Manly, he needs to block out the noise coming from you know who.
He announced to the club yesterday afternoon he was either retiring or leaving . Either way not at manly next year .
Never forget when they had that great team in the mid 2000s, when he refused to take unders to stay and he got offside with all the rest of the squad because they all thought they had a gentleman's agreement. They lost some real quality players then who were either forced out cause of the cap or just left cause they were angry with him.
If Brooks is the controlling half it'll be 2021 Tigers 2.0. Five one out runs and a bomb.
I'm torn on this, please don't get me wrong I'd never wish Ill on anyone and honestly the first 2 rounds last year I developed a man crush on Olam, but he's cooked, he will never be the same and other teams will be testing him, he is a great guy and good leader to the younger guys, though I personally hope he retires. He's had an amazing career, we need someone who can get into the week to week grind with out breaking down every other week. If he plays again it'll be on busted knees I just can't see how he could have any impact in first grade the way his body is. I hope he proves me wrong, I love the way he smashed blokes in defence and just ran it from the back fence, I just can't see it happening though.
I wouldn't read too much into what this kid says.
Give him credit for the variety in his game, you forgot about the grubber kick into the legs of the opposition.
Come on, sometimes it got through and went dead in goal before then bouncing over the fence .. good times 😊 👍
They mean stuff all...I don't like the coach /ceo/ ballboys blah.blah
He was right not to. He was reportedly on 55k at the time, negotiating his next contract. The rest of the squad were long time players who had been on good dollars (sure not necessarily their maximum value) for many years. Easier to not take full pay when you have already set yourself up financially. DCE would have still been living week to week and no guarantee of the duration of his career.
Moussa said last week (official...no bs rumour) that Olam was still working on his rehab
Maybe its a choice btwn Olam or May. Maybe. This is the gossip thread. Right.
Just what we need a 37 year old crippled centre.
