Call his bluff like steffano. You know they aren’t serious in staying if they kick the can down the road with that deal.

The more I listen to Phil Gould, the more I believe his insight.
Galvin isn't worth $5m.
He'll probably get it. And then he has to live up to it or get torn apart by fans & the media.
And if he leaves the Tigers for money- Gould is right. It's the tragedy of the modern game, where development & loyalty are secondary to management greed & fast cash.

Gould is 100% right. Galvin is no where near a million dollar player but this is the day and age of managers and commissions are involved.

If Galvin is signed to that kind of money- a position needs to be found for Latu Fainu or he sucks up too much of our cap to be a back-up.
Then the club needs to find a place for Sullivan.
When you have Doueihi & Mason also on the books- that is 6 viable halves in the squad- not including Bird..
BS .. he knows nothing

If it’s true re 5 yrs $5 mil for Galvin, the advantage we have is we can front load his contract potentially this season and definitely next season. So the spread can be evened out somewhat, he gets a hefty upgrade for the next 2 yrs. I’m presuming it’s 5 on top of his 2 left but it could be 5 yrs inclusive, either way we can still lessen the blow on the cap more than if he signs elsewhere.
Still think Gus wants to get his hands on Latu and if we resign Galvin he may get his wish.

What got me was:
DCE
750k a season.
Look we don't 'need' him now. but you kinda look at Galvin for 1m Dylan Brown for 1.3m and DCE at almost half that...
Galvin, seems a 'solid' NRL player with points to improve in his game. 750 is what he is worth. 1m+ is what it will cost us to keep him. We will/should pay it because at least we know we get 750k taking the field for us (as opposed to say Sullivan on 500k and plays for reserve grade).

that’s far too much money.
Million per year for Galvin is a bit steep, but it's ok.
Too many people act like the salary cap is still $5 million. It's gonna be $12 million next year. A million is only 1/12th of the top 30 salary cap.
Then take into account the fact the top 30 probably has 10 guys on minimum wage ($150k) you're looking at $10.5m to spread between 20 players. Comes to an average of 525k a year. Halves are obviously more valuable and then the fact Galvin has the potential to be a very good one means a million is realistically what you're looking at to start.

There’s no way he should get offered more than Munster (supposedly)

I believe Gus is rubbing his hands together waiting for Latu to get a release, he would complete the dogs halves.
Unfortunately you may be right as i believe Latu has more upside as a half than Galvin does.

Latu and Galvin together would be top shelf.
Don't know why we offer a 5 year contract to Galvin when Luai is also off contract in 5 years. Both halves potentially out the door at the same time is playing with fire.

and no doubt Gould is one of the primary bidders for him if he hits he market and will pay him $5m if he has to

definitely…. Brown’s deal is a market changing contract … also the cap will be up another 30% plus in 2028 after they sign the new TV deal
