It’s not going to happen this week, but the club is crazy if they don’t put him on the back burner ASAP.

Galvin is a rake , he’s not a lock now and maybe never will be.

Well, I think that Richo has been in enough situations like this to know when Galvin isn't being straight. There's wanting to go to market, and there's wanting to go to market. When we have cards in our hand like Latu, you don't play games with a player that has a foot out the door. Look at what happened with Stefano - we let him go and picked up Terrell, a player that genuinely wants to play at the Tigers.
It's a shame as I think his shifty manager is clearly in his ear, but I honestly think that after a few games with Latu and Laui playing together I don't think we lose much. The reason our spine so so effective is the multiple threats of Api, Bula, Laui and Galvin/Fainu.

what brand will the bbq be, will he even know how to operate it?
Why don't you think it'll happen this week?

Seems to me his manager has got an offer elsewhere already. Any club paying him more than $1m is risking a cap disaster- i can’t see him playing in the halves for too many years.
However unlike others I worry about Latu’s resilience and his fitness to be a reliable half week in week out.
Richo is a master at this- I’m happy to sit back and watch the next development in this saga unfold as there’s bound to be more to come.

To put it bluntly, our backrow is garbage. Twal and Seyfarth are honest toilers, nothing more. Galvin could be an excellent stopgap until we recruit a replacement or one of our juniors like Phoenix Godinet is ready for first grade.

You saw it in the documentary. The kid is young, but not the vocal leader that TDS is. For $1m, you need to bring that to the table, not just be a ball runner.

You don't punish Galvin for signing elsewhere- that opens the club up for questions of bias & isn't a good look for the players at the club for future contract deals.
You let Galvin's play determine if he's in 1st grade or not.
If he plays well- you pick him.
If he is outplayed- you pick the guy that outplays him.
It is now up to Galvin as to what grade he plays. I wouldn't even consider releasing him. If he rides the KOE pine, he's not sinking the club's salary cap. He doesn't have that hanging over the club.
It's in his best interest to play well.
But now the leash is short, and there are options if he doesn't perform.

You do if you have an equally talented half who now if you believe the MSN article is attracting interest from others clubs via his manager.

This may have already been mentioned.
From recollection, we only let Ontini Large go because he wanted a clause in his contract for an early release if his progress was inhibited by being stuck behind Galvin.
We do the right thing and let him go. Now it has bitten us on the backside .

he is not a 6 either …he has got no pace and the other teams have worked him out when he has ball in hand

is it possible that the club will change it's mind or is it done?

Galvin's defence is poor, at best.
I've advocated for shifting Galvin. But he's not ready yet.

Agree , I feel his parents are heavily involved and have been swept of there feet by a Gould or Politis , Galvin has a deal like I mentioned last week , 5 years x $ 1 million with all the other behind the scenes stuff , back to reserve grade now , we need players who are committed to the club and team Galvin is not one of those players , drop the guy today , and if he is on $ 250 then $ 350. Keep him there , he can warm the pine in reserve grade , Latu now needs to be given the same chance Galvin got

Anything is possible until it happens… he and his a manager need to change their minds you would think

It's not punishing him, it's doing the best thing for the club. How does it make sense for the tigers to continue to develop him when we have another option that is up to it and needs development? He made he call, he knows the potential consequences.
